Suggested telecare sensors include:
- Bogus Caller Button / Panic Button
- PIR (Movement Detector)
- Zoning Button - Allows users of alarm functionality to zone certain areas of their property e.g. at night. This means that users will not need to 'beat' the zoning delay time before the system arms therefore users can take as much time as required without needing to panic.
- Arm/Disarm Trigger - Allows users to protect their property by arming the intruder functionality on vacating their dwelling, and then disarming it in the same way as they re-enter.
