A Community Alarm RF Pendant
When the device transmits to a control center, personal information of the owner will automatically appear on a screen in front of the operator. They will usually try to speak to the individual, often via an intercom channel that is opened up when the alarm is activated, and if the individual needs help or they cannot get a reply, then they will arrange for someone to visit.
An alarm which dials directly through to a relative's or friend's house will usually be programmed to dial more than one number, to increase the chances of finding someone at home.
An autodialer alarm is different from an alarm autodialer, a part of the wall alarms.
