You don't need a physical alarm. You set up an account and pay the monthly charge and if you hit the panic button it is sent from your phone.RPBrown wrote: ↑Thu Aug 01, 2019 9:04 amBut why would they have a phone app if they didn't have an alarm?DynamicDan wrote: ↑Wed Jul 31, 2019 5:17 pm It was from a phone app, not an actual alarm in their home.
I have a phone app for my alarms and have never accidentally triggered it.
I think there are a lot of mistakes made here by all parties. (1) Alarm company either sent them to the wrong address or failed to mention it was a medical alert (2) Dispatch failed to send proper information (3) Cop obviously lied about the homeowner opening the door pointing a gun at him. In fact, I couldn't tell if the homeowner even had a gun until the officer entered the house after the shooting and (4) the homeowner answering the door with a gun in view (if he did).
This is the main reason I have cameras around my house including doorbell camera. I don't answer the door if I don't know who it is.
Then there is always the issue of no knock warrants being served to the wrong houses, but that's another issue for another thread.

It was from a phone app, not an actual alarm in their home.

Re: SC: Bodycam of LEO shooting homeowner through front door.
If a medical alert, why wouldn't paramedics be sent?
