FAMILYR MEDICAL ALERT ALARMS

• Monitored systems connect to a 24/7 monitoring centre. When the SOS button is pressed or a fall is detected, operators assess the situation and contact emergency services if required. These involve monthly fees.

• Unmonitored systems contact family, friends, or neighbours directly, bypassing a monitoring centre. They often have no monthly fee, only the upfront device cost.

Your choice depends on whether you prefer professional response coordination or direct family alerts.
