I am proud to announce our latest home safety innovation – The PLI-PR1 Perimeter – a hand held technology that is used by a caregiver to protect and prevent a special needs wanderer from eloping! As of today, the new Project Lifesaver Equipment is available for purchase!
The PLI-PR1 Perimeter is a portable unit that emits a radio frequency boundary of approximately 100 feet within a building (300 feet outside with limited obstructions); this boundary will act as a safety zone. If the safety zone is exceeded, the red LED on top of the unit will flash and an audible alarm will sound to alert the caregiver, and enable them to prevent the elopement before it occurs. It is imperative to understand that the PLI-PR1 Perimeter is only compatible with the latest transmitter implemented by Project Lifesaver, the Data Transmitter Module (DTM), which is an upgrade to the traditional CS transmitter used currently. The DTM has data transfer capabilities, which gives it the ability to interact with its paired perimeter unit, which enables the unit to identify when the individual has broken its boundary and exceeded the safety zone.
The PLI-PR1 Perimeter is rechargeable, and since it is portable, you can take the PLI-PR1 Perimeter with you to be used anywhere outside of the home. This technology not only helps secure the home of a special needs wanderer, but is also the perfect security tool for caregivers while traveling!
We have been striving to develop a reliable early detection system for a long time, and I am happy that we have finally found the best option for our clients. The PLI-PR1 Perimeter is the most reliable form of wandering detection on the “market” with its use of radio frequency technology, and we hope it will increase the amount of home safety and reduce the amount of wandering done among individuals with cognitive conditions.
Before we release any technology or equipment for use by PLI clients, we always thoroughly test the product to ensure it has the capabilities necessary to maintain Project Lifesaver’s mission of “bringing loved ones home,” as well as thoroughly protect our clients. The PLI-PR1 Perimeter was tested in the field by one of our member advocates who was instrumental in the implementation of the Project Lifesaver program in his community, and who has also implemented Project Lifesaver in his home to protect his autistic child. Read what he has to say about the new technology below:
[We have] been testing this device for Project Lifesaver for the last few months and we can say without question it is a game changer. An early warning detection system to help prevent a wandering event from occurring. This device, along with the PLI-1000 will bring “peace of mind” to an entire new level. No cell service or monthly subscriptions required. These devices work with Radio Frequency technology. Simple but effective.
