Code 5 Lone Worker Protection. Service lets you configure an emergency key on your mobile phone (usually the 5 key ) which you can press when you need help. At which point a two way comms link opens up between you and remote monitoring station personnel who can listen in and call emergency services if necessary. No prices given, although there’s a one off set up charge and a monthly monitoring fee. Not quite as glam as the Bat Signal though, is it?
Two-way voice communication • No long numbers to dial in an emergency • LBS location technology and, for smart phones, GPS • Complete SOS response centre back up 24/7 • Speed-access to emergency services via Orbis’ operators • Audio recordings for use as evidence in court proceedings • Management reports via the internet
remote monitoring station personnel who can listen to the muffled sounds of my wife’s handbag all day. Useful.
What’s wrong with just programming 911 to your ‘5’ key?
