“AloneAlarm™ is a Personal Alarm and Security System which provides both ‘Man Down ‘ and ‘Panic’ modes of operation.
In ‘Man Down’ mode, it watches the phone’s motion and, should it (and, presumably, the user) remain motionless for more than a user-defined period of time, it will forward an Alarm Notification in the form of an email or SMS message to a designated monitoring site.
In ‘Panic’ mode, it will send an immediate Panic Notification to the specified recipient(s).
The Notification messages contain substantial information as to the alarm situation, including a near-precise location of the phone when the notification was sent. This location assessment is dependent on the accuracy of reverse-geocoding which can be calculated. See http://www.alonealarm.com for a typical Alarm Notification.
When first run, it requires the user to enter basic details such as their Name, and the email address and/or SMS number for the remote site.
When setup is completed for the first time, the user is assigned a number of free email and SMS credits, along with a User Code which may be used in purchasing further credits from the AloneAlarm site at www.alonealarm.com“
This is cool,i remember testing standalone units for this for a security company i done work for a few years ago ,the unit was like the size of a small phone but not an actual phone,now its adopted to mobile,its an excellent application..
Seemingly it did not take off well here as hoped as it was an expensive extra for companys to buy…
