A programmable infra-red bed alert system designed to alert a carer when the user gets out of bed in the home. It includes a control box, a power pack and a passive infra-red detector. The infrared detector sends a signal to the control box when two consecutive movements are detected. Alarms can be in the form of an audible buzzer, a strobe light or a combination of both. Other options are available.

Method of Use
The control box needs to be plugged into the mains power at all times.
