Onsite Monitoring Solutions Powered by NOVO
At Blue Hills Residences, we have set up CLOUD BASED MONITORING – SMS for its 232 Units and Community Centre. The Novo devices include INACTIVITY Pendant and 3 Call Points with Smoke Alarm Integration. The inactivity feature sends an alarm to the CMP (cloud monitoring platform) when not moved within 7 hours, and the cloud monitoring centre tracks the data. Additional security includes PIR, where residents can Arm and Disarm the security alarm function as they enter and leave their homes via the Yellow BUTTON on NOVO. The Village receives daily alarm reports for actual events and a weekly report of units that have not moved their mobile pendants. The inactivity report provides insight into residents who are not wearing their pendants. The cost for cloud monitoring is $2.50 per unit per month, with SMS alarms sent to a series of numbers and will continue to escalate if no call back has been received on the device where the alarm originated. Other features include email reporting and basic cloud access. All Novo devices are connected via ethernet, and only critical residents have 4G SIM cards as well as ethernet (4G/IP) for redundancy, but residents can request a 4G SIM in their device at any time. All powered by NOVO and BLUEFORCE Monitoring.
For Meracare, we have provided Local onsite monitoring and offsite monitoring by carers with mobile phones for its 93 Units and Community Centre. Each Novo 4G/IP device includes 1 Mobile Pendant with a 4G SIM card. This Novo unit configuration calls a carer’s phone, and if not answered, it calls another nominated mobile number and a third as final. Ongoing costs include only the 4G SIM card.
