3.2 Dead Man's Switch

Activate the dead man's switch

You will find the button for the dead man's switch in the upper right corner of the EVALARM app.

You can see the period after which the predefined SOS alert is triggered here.

The period can be set between 3 minutes and 15 minutes.

In addition, you can activate the updating of standalone monitoring by movement. No manual action is necessary.

You can also add a message to explain the location and reason for the alert.

Fall Detection (Beta)

For even better protection in single station monitoring, we have added a fall detection to the dead man's switch. To activate this, check the box provided.

If the fall detection is active, a fall is detected by the sensors of your smartphone. If the person does not move for 8 seconds after the fall, an SOS alarm is automatically started.

The alert levels of the dead man's switch

When the alert is started, the countdown begins.

You can reset this to the beginning at any time by pressing the button.

Furthermore, you can trigger an SOS alarm manually before the time runs out or terminate the monitoring early.

Pre - alert 1

Once there are only two minutes remaining, the first pre-alert starts. The screen of your phone will begin to flash and your phone will vibrate.

Pre - alert 2

If only a minute remains, the second pre-alert starts. This remains until the countdown has expired.

SOS Alert is triggered

If the alert is not interrupted by the dead man’s switch, an SOS alarm is triggered.

You can terminate it immediately with the everything okay response.

Otherwise an SOS alert is triggered, in which the user, contact details and GPS location is transmitted to the pre-defined address in the workflows.
