I picked up this wireless caregiver pager system for my aunt, who lives alone but has had a couple of close calls with falls recently. After testing it out over the past few weeks, I can say it’s a solid piece of gear with a few quirks that are worth mentioning depending on your expectations.Setup was straightforward. Out of the box, the SOS button and receiver were already paired, which made it easy to get started without digging through complicated instructions. Once I downloaded the Smart Life app and connected the base to WiFi, it got even better. Now when she presses the button, not only does an alarm sound in the house, but I get an alert on my phone immediately. So do my siblings since we all linked the device through the app. That’s a huge plus. In a real emergency, it means someone is likely to respond quickly, even if I’m not nearby.The SOS button itself is small, lightweight, and waterproof, which is nice as she can have it with her in the bathroom without any concern for it getting wet. I also appreciate that it doesn’t require daily charging like some of those smartwatch-style solutions. According to the specs, the battery that came with it should last about a year.Now for some of the negatives. First, the volume and ringtone options aren’t as intuitive to change as I’d like. You can’t adjust them from the device itself; you have to go through the app. It’s not a big issue if you’re comfortable with smartphones, but if you’re buying this for someone less tech-savvy and you're not around to help, that could be a frustration. Also, the sound options aren’t great. A lot of them are either harsh or sound like a regular doorbell, which would cause confusion if you were just using the base for alerts. Another thing; if you’re placing the receiver somewhere in the house make sure it’s not blocked behind furniture. The volume is decent, but if you’re trying to hear it from the next room or while asleep, placement really matters.This system does exactly what I needed it to do. It’s not flashy, and it has a couple of setup quirks, but in terms of function and reliability, it works as advertised. Definitely worth having if you’re caring for someone who wants a bit of independence but still needs a safety net.

Life saver, literally as we cared for Dad. I recommend you put it somewhere central, not behind furniture for best sound.

So easy to set up, Mom uses it easily and I like that you can set different tone/level.

This is a good product. I only wish it were louder. If I'm awake, I can hear it with no problem, but it will not wake the sleeping.

I love this wireless caregiver...the alert was at a level that I could hear even in my deep sleep. I recommend this alert caregiver to anyone.

Product came with directions for easy set up. The coverage from sos button to transmitter was better than expected.
