Activity alarm

Have two customers interested in a Motion Detector that will send signal to Central Station when there has been no movement within the range of the detector for 24-hours.



The GE-Interlogic NX8E can be programmedfor this.



Has anyone here a suggestion based on experience? Where to place MD? Bedroom? Bathroom? Outside bedroom? Kitchen?



Substitute a normally closed door, such as a bedroom door, rather than a MD? [Probably not a good idea, should the door be left open! Answered my own question.]



Pros and cons of detecting inactiviy?



Thanks. Charlie

outside bedroom this way you know they have at least gotten out of bed and used bathroom at least once during day if you can set inactivity to lowe r the number the better 6 hours ideally only drawback is making sure ala rm is on so it bypasses when at dr church etc

I can only assume that your are trying to set up a system for Senior Activity???

Better to put a sensor on the Fridge Door or Medicine Cabinet Door. Those need to be opened regularly and will reset the timer.

Would not hurt to also include a Medical Alert Button as well.

I would use the CS to do the heavy lifting. Install any sensors anywhere where their "should" be activity. If the CS does not get signals (make them a day/night zone with reporting), they can act appropriately.
