Has anyone set up nightime surveillance cameras? Or a motion detector? I don’t hear well and am afraid my mom will head into the kitchen or to the doors during the night and I won’t know. When my granddaughter spent the night she said gramma was up and down all night. I never knew. Suggestions for a hearing impaired caregiver? I leave my door open and I can see down the hall from my bed, but I don’t wake up I guess. Not totally deaf, just moderately impaired.
I also put a Smart Caregiver tl-5102 motion sensor in her room that sets off a pager only when I have the pager on. It is so loud that I keep it in a closed drawer next to my bed.
Over the past year, it has moved location in her room. I had a hard time finding a hiding place from her. At the moment it is under her bed to go off when she gets up in the middle of the night. That's when the camera comes in handy, I can check to see if I need to get up to help her or is she just up.
I did try baby monitors but sometimes mom talks and laughs while she is laying her bed in the middle of the night. It's cute to hear but I really want to sleep.
Instead of using a double cylinder deadbolt, need a key for both sides, use a keypad lock. Thus no need for a key at all. If the person can't remember the code to use it anymore, then they probably shouldn't be getting out.
Hopefully it will wake me if he opens a door.. He says he doesn't know how to disarm it in that mode. We'll see how it works.
Search the web for these systems. The alarms range from motion sensors to floor mats in room that send the signal to a central monitor. Mine is not that expensive and I can add other accessories as the need arises.
