I'm caring for mom who is 91 y/o and with long history of mental illness. I realize the need to respect her privacy, such as not to view inside bathroom, but I also need enough coverage to see where she may collapse or not appear to be moving such as to cover entire bedroom. I fee this is appropriate. What are your thoughts.

 

Thanks,

Ed

As my mother is also 90yrs... I know some of the issues.

I would cover the most travel areas first. Also areas were a trip/fall are more possible.

Then it may be a trial and error to cover those more private areas.

Remember that the Pro/Pro2 cameras have audio you can hear for those areas not necess to see...I find the audio is pretty good in some areas I can't see into.

 

As a PS... nothing wrong with an option of a worn alert button ( third party ) if she is able to/willing to  use one

Thanks for input. Mom would never cooperate with alarm or wear any device. Audio is good, but she may still be in bed and not likely to make any sense talking. So, I need to actually see her. If I cover walking areas in her bedroom, the entire bed would be in view.
