Key Differences between Home Security and Rescue Alert Medical Alarm Systems
Medical Alarm Systems differ from Home Security Systems in several ways. Thus, it is important to be aware of the different benefits each system will provide you. Because these differences are not always readily obvious, we have listed a few of the main differences in each system. The following information is meant to inform you of both systems ability to provide different levels of security and protection. These differences can be broken up into two separate areas: Products and Services.
From a product perspective, the differences are as follows.
Rescue Alert Medical Alarm Product Attributes
- Use of Panic Button and Two-Way voice base unit
- Has up to 1,000 ft range from help button to base unit
- Equipment is targeted towards someone activating the service in the event of an emergency
- Two-Way voice capabilities to cover your entire home
- Back-up battery of 90 hrs
- Unit will automatically test if it has not been activated in the prior 25 days.
- Product designed to provide peace of mind in a medical emergency.
Burglar Alarm System Attributes
- Uses devices such as door sensors, window sensors, motion detectors, glass break alarms, etc that automatically let you know of intruders.
- If the burglar alarm includes a panic button, the average range is only 100 ft.
- Average back-up battery of 35 hrs
- If two-way voice is offered, microphones and speakers are not designed to be nearly as sensitive as Medical Alarms.
- Product designed to protect against home break-ins.
From a service stand-point, the differences between the two systems are found in the monitoring techniques and protocols each center incorporates. Here are a few:
Rescue Alert Medical Alarm Monitoring Attributes

Burglar Alarm System Attributes
- Most burglar systems do not have 2-way voice capability.
- If the burglar alarm system is 2-way voice, the monitoring centers main goal is to get on and off the call as quickly as possible. The alarms do not require them to stay on the line until help arrives.
- Burglar alarm monitoring centers are specialized in providing assistance when motion detectors, window/door sensors, glass break sensors, etc. are activated. Each situation calls for the same result; calling the police.
- Response time of up to 2 minutes
As you can see, Medical Alarm Systems are targeted towards providing protection in the event of a medical emergency. Burglar Alarms, on the other hand, are targeted towards providing protection in the event an intruder attempts to break in. One system is not better than the other; it is just a matter of comparing apples to oranges. Each system provides services the other cannot.
