You've already bought her the panic button. It's in the kitchen drawer, or on the hallway table, or on a lanyard she takes off when she gardens. A button only helps if she presses it — and she won't, because she doesn't want to be a bother.
Uses the cameras already at her house. Nothing to wear, nothing to charge, nothing to remember.
You are contact number one on the list. When someone comes up her driveway, the WhatsApp with the photo arrives on your phone — wherever you are — without her lifting a finger or making a decision in the middle of the night.
If the message isn't answered, it phones. Then it phones the next person: your brother, her neighbour, her security company. With the call-until-answered option it keeps working down the list until a real person confirms.
Only the outside areas you choose, and only still photos of an actual detection. There is no live feed for anyone to watch, nothing goes to the internet, and nobody is checking up on her day.
You're at work in Joburg. She's in Pinelands. Someone comes through the gate at half past seven in the evening.
You get the photo before she's even heard the dog. You can see it's the neighbour's son returning her ladder — and you go back to what you were doing, having spent nine seconds on it instead of a weekend of low-grade worry.
And on the evening it isn't the neighbour's son, you're not the last to know.
Emergency help-button calls are never rationed or capped. Month-to-month; the plan starts the day it's installed and tested.
Plainly: Jericho Mini tells you — it does not send anyone. It is not an armed response company and we don't attend the property or contact the police for you; the point is that you find out in time to do something, and that she never has to press anything to make that happen. It runs on her cameras, her power and her internet, so it works on a best-effort basis, and it will tell you if it ever stops watching.
Fitted and tested in person across the Cape Town metro. Tell us her suburb and roughly how many cameras she has — we'll tell you honestly whether it's worth doing.
