is this a good device to monitor elderly abuse going on in my home?

This device will dial your mobile number each time there is sound above a certain threshold. Therefore it might dial your number even when there is just a normal conversation between two people or when it pick up sound from a television

This is a crap product. Never worked. Had to return it. Descriptions were great but when it arrived there was close to no instructions and it never actually worked. The concept is not bad if you can find a decent seller that cares. As for monitoring elderly abuse, there are plenty of choices from covert cameras around in Amazon just search and see.

Mine works all over the house and outside. I dont know about a basement specifically, but I think it would work. The monitor is really sensitive and I have never had disturbance.

Absolutely! I use mine to check in on my dogs during the week. Just make sure you lock down your wireless router. There was a case in Texas where someone hacked into the camera , was watching the baby and speaking to it through the speaker in the camera.

Thats what we are using it for. The audio is excellent. You can also talk back to the room. You can set it up locally on your home network. I have a dyndns (free) account also so I can monitor the sitter if we're out to dinner. I'm using the Foscam Pro app on my iPhone. It's the best one i've tried.

I believe that this device works well for EMF; but, I need a debice that is inexpensive to measure ion levels in my home environment

It will work as a door monitor. There is a beam of red light emitted from the unit. (Just like an overhead garage door). If anything interrupts the beam, it will sound an alert on the receiver unit. We clipped the receiver unit to our belt so that we could be in other parts of the house. If our patient (elderly, and a fall risk), got out of bed, the alarm would sound. The unit itself (the part with the beam), does not sound an alarm, just the receiver unit.

Hi. I hesitate to answer this because I am not sure of the exact range of these devices. However, I can tell you that it is being used for communication purposes from the "main house" to what most people would consider an In-laws quarters way on the other side. For the price and the quality of the device, the worst thing that could happen is that you would have to send it back. Probably worth the try! Hope this helps.

Dear Paul,Thank you for contacting us. This alarm can be used for either self monitoring or for professional monitoring. It just needs to be connected to a land line or voip phone service.Sincerely,Andrew

Yes I think so. I bought it for my 74 year old mother to use as a police scanner. She loves listening to what's going on. It works perfect and she loves it.

Yes, this would work fine for that. In addition to the motion detector, use the window/door sensor... Great idea!

This unit is very sensitive. I would think it would be most useful for testing cell phones or any other electric or electronic device.

The Lascar works great for what it is made for but not the best device for your purpose. I would think something like the following would work better. You would have to install it though in some way that they didn't have access to it. http://www.amazon.com/P3-P4400-Electricity-Usage-Monitor/dp/B00009MDBU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1403682570&sr=8-1&keywords=watt+meter

I would think so as when testing this device around my home it detected my cameras in various places of my home and detected a camera that was just on the other side of a wall in another room. The closer you get to something the stronger the alert is that comes from the device. It has worked well for me so far.

My sister and I both use it to check blood pressure, but I think it just monitors the last person who used it. We do record both of our information for future reference.

You could definitely use it to see when motion occurs in your mailbox (i.e. someone putting mail in or taking it out. You won't be able to see if the door is "technically" open or closed unless you use the light sensor built in to the unit. Additionally, you'll want to make sure the unit is close enough to your house for the sensor to communicate with the rest of the sensors in your house.

I think it would probably be appropriate for your use. It is loud enough to get your attention, but not annoying. It is the most simple mechanism, but it works very well. The price is reasonable and NO wiring.

The device is absolutely sensitive enough that you would be able to see even relatively small changes in sound levels. (For example, in a quiet room, I can actually see this device detecting a loudly ticking clock or the sounds of residential traffic at least 150 yards away reaching the inside of my home with my windows closed.) However, this sensitivity may also be a problem for you. When you first turn the device on you will see a spike in the reading for a few seconds until the device "normalizes" to the environment you are using it in. While you will be able to determine that overall the sound levels have changed during a commercial, those sounds levels are not constant, that is, you may also see wide fluctuations as each word is spoken or as music is played. Sound levels change constantly in a normal household environment with each spoken word, each movement of the device, traffic outside the home, other sounds turning on/off (e.g., heating systems), a dog barking two houses away, etc. So while the device is sensitive enough to detect an overall level change, I think the sensitivity could also be a problem if you do not consider EVERYTHING causing changes in the readings. Hope this answers your question !!!
