Security and presence without being there

Security and presence without being there

EloCare is a sensor system designed for prisons, detention centers and other high-security environments. The system monitors breathing and movement without physical contact and without a camera, and provides early warning of adverse events.
For employees, EloCare means security, fewer worries and better use of resources, they can be present where they are needed most. For inmates, this means increased safety, dignity and a reduced risk of unwanted incidents.

What is EloCare?

EloCare is a comprehensive sensor system developed to prevent and manage critical incidents in prisons, detention centers and other demanding environments. The system consists of several parts that together provide maximum security, overview and user-friendliness:


THE ELOCARE SENSOR:
A touchless sensor that monitors respiration, movement and presence in the room, completely without a camera or physical contact.


ELOCARE MANAGER
The software collects, analyzes, and presents all information from sensors in a clear interface. It provides early warnings and makes it easy for employees to react quickly.

 

ELOCARE TOOL APP
A convenient app that simplifies installation, setup and maintenance of the system

EloCare in practice

Behind closed doors, many types of undesirable situations can occur. Fortunately, regular inspections are carried out, but what if an incident occurs right after a physical inspection round? EloCare monitors inmates contactlessly 24/7 and only notifies when necessary, and measurements are outside a given limit value. Via the desktop software EloCare Manager, personnel can quickly get an overview of all cells and plan further follow-up.
