How It Works

Security of the Client

Intercom

Video stream sent to TV and mobile devices.
2 way speaking – local (in the garden) and or when travelling.
Date and Time stamp of visitors.
Automatically switches TV to view the video live feed.
(Video stream is available 24/7 and viewable without the need of a visitor calling at the front door). 

Automatically sets Burglar Alarm

We will install a Burglar alarm as part of the solution and the system monitors when clients head to bed. A choice of manual or automatic setting of the alarm is possible. It monitors front and rear doors and motion sensors. Automatically disarms when clients come down in the morning – or via user interface or allocated light switch.
Can be set when leaving the house or remotely e.g at an airport

Access for Professional Carers

Door release (option) can be managed remotely if the client has mobility issues. This can be via RFID token, pin code or remote door release. These events are logged by system with the ability for report generation.

Remote Monitoring of Hardware

All of the hardware is monitored to see if it is active.
When not available we will report to the family caring group with suggested action. This tests the ISP and its reliability, tests for deactivated hardware ie something has been turned off and ionFolks server tests from the home to the outside world to confirm all is well with the network.

Accident Prevention

TV as a Message centre

Specially designed device that automatically switches the TV channel for 10 seconds to show an alert message or intercom video feed and then reverts back to the original TV channel – assumes that the TV is on.
Every alert triggers the TV and the push notification to mobile handsets.

Hob Monitoring – Gas or Electric

Specially designed device that monitors the energy from the hob.
Data is logged and so cooking patterns can be viewed.
Time boundaries can be implemented so that heat outside of these limits will generate a notification

Connection to 230V powered Smoke Alarm

We connect into the mains smoke alarm (if existing) and can report on the activity of this system. This triggers the TV message and notifies all of the caring group.

Temperature, Humidity and Light levels

Rooms are monitored for heat levels and humidity.
The motion sensors provide light levels (lux) to manage when lights are brought on through movement.

Leaking water sensors

Kitchen
Utility room
Bathroom
Toilets
Any event triggers a push notification and a TV message.

Lighting

Activated by new switch or motion sensor.
Different dimmer intensities,
Scenes – which lights come on – kitchen, lounge and hall.
All off and all on.
5 buttons on each switch. Can control other devices – blinds, garage door or Help Me Now – which sends alerts to all carers.

Intercom

Motion Sensors – Light sensor

Door Contacts

Used as part of the burglar alarm system and also can be used to log carer activity.

Universal Remote control

Option – We can incorporate other devices- RF or IR to be included as part of this solution to control eg garage doors, curtains motors, air conditioning remotes.
