PROBLEM: Zoo doorbell needed for bear training! A customer from a zoo wanted to train the polar bears to come out into public view in their exhibit area at the sound of a buzzer.

This customer used the ERA-UTDCR long-range wireless doorbell kit, with the DH920 buzzer wired into the ‘C’ relays on the back of the receiver. The push-button was mounted outside the cage. The buzzer receiver was placed inside the cage. When pushed, the push button triggered a wireless signal sent to the receiver, activating the buzzer sound.

Entrance Alerts: Help Protect a Family Member with Dementia

  • PROBLEM: Dad keeps wandering off in the night. A woman had an elderly parent (father) with dementia living with her family. Believe it or not, her dad opened his window one night and crawled out in his pajamas. The next morning the police called from a nearby city. Dad had walked miles to a train station and was trying to go somewhere.
  • 1800DOORBELL SOLUTION: The LRA-C1000 Long Range Entry Alert w/ Strobe – in this case, used as an EXIT alert. The alert device was installed over the door of the elderly dad’s bedroom and exterior windows. If the windows were opened, a chime sound would generate from the receiver, alerting the family that Dad is taking a midnight stroll – giving the family time to head him off and keep him safe.
