An elderly alarm in the form of a sound alarm has been on sale for years, but is currently experiencing a strong turnout, mainly due to all news reports about the elderly who fall victim to violence on the street or in their home. The sound alarm is the simplest alarm for the elderly. The product has a built-in siren and a pull pin or cord that makes a loud sound. Some models are also provided with a cord, so that the sound alarm can be worn around the neck of the elderly. In addition to these sound alarm systems for the elderly, there are also GPS telephones and watches that, in the event of an alarm, forward the position to a set number and it is possible to listen to the surroundings remotely. Sound alarm systems and GPS tracking systems therefore have different applications and can also be used in combination.
Sound alarm for the elderly:
The most famous alarm system for the elderly is the sound alarm that a siren can give by pulling on a pin or cord. The purpose of this alarm is to deter the perpetrator and alert any bystanders / neighbors. In practice, the number of decibels that the elderly alarm produces often proves to be insufficient to achieve this, although sound alarms are now available that are slightly larger in size, but operate on AAA batteries and can therefore make a louder siren sound. .

Pepper spray alternative for the elderly:
The possession and / or use of pepper spray is prohibited in the Netherlands and there are no exceptions for this in the law for the elderly. There is, however, an alternative in the form of a paint spray that has the function of noticing the perpetrator and creating a shock effect, which can bring the elderly to safety. The use of this paint spray is legal, provided that it is only used in emergency situations. View the: Legal pepper spray online here
GPS alarm for the elderly:
The GPS alarm for the elderly is available in various forms, such as a watch, telephone or a cabinet in the form of a remote control. The GPS alarms need a SIM card and send the GPS position of the alarm to a website and / or a telephone number of, for example, a family member. The GPS alarm systems, in contrast to the sound alarms or pepper spray alternative, are not very suitable for protecting against aggression on the street, but more suitable for when the elderly person becomes unwell and / or is the victim of a house robbery. The GPS alarms have an SOS button that immediately sends a message to the set telephone number, after which it can immediately listen to the environment and thus determine whether everything is ok or whether the police should be switched on.
