Alarm.com has introduced Wellcam, a smart home video solution designed to empower safer independent living.
Wellcam is a state-of-the-art smart security camera, two-way communications device, activity sensor and more. It is installed in your loved one's home, but it is also integrated with your own home's security system and smartphone app. Wellcam makes it easier to stay connected to your loved one, and extends many of a home's smart security safeguards to their house.
If you're one of the 35 million Americans who care for a family member aged over 50, Wellcam can help you. It is an emergency safeguard and an early warning system. It is also a fun way to say hello.
Wellcam's call-out button lets a loved one easily initiate a hands-free call to the Alarm.com app without having to find or dial the user's number. A corresponding button in the app puts the user straight through to Wellcam's clear, high-quality speaker.
Wellcam's 180-degree camera, with 1080p resolution and 6mp zoom, can cover a wide area like a kitchen or living room in high definition. If using Wellcam to monitor a specific area of the home, like the hallway or front door area, video alerts can show important activity as it happens.
While traditional independent living solutions like Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS) are designed for emergencies, Wellcam—like our broader Wellness solution—helps users intervene before a problem becomes an emergency. Wellcam is also an activity sensor for Alarm.com's smart home platform, which learns activity patterns and alerts users when they change. By keeping users and caregivers in the know with activity charts, daily highlights summaries and proactive alerts when things change, Alarm.com can keep them one step ahead of emerging quality-of-life issues so they can take action.
