Abstract
A remote monitoring system offers both random tracking and scheduled contacts while the monitored person is away from home, and continuous signalling at home, permitting the monitored person to be monitored even while asleep, by providing a remote monitoring system which includes a home monitoring unit for receiving RF transmissions from a wrist device, but which can be self-installed by the wearer of the device. The home monitoring unit transmits periodic status reports concerning the presence of an individual at the location of the monitoring unit, but the direct telephone connection may be replaced by an Internet connection for all but urgent communications.
