What is Wellness Activity and how does it work?
A complete 24/7 safety net. Alarm.com Wellness offers a secure and cost-effective option for independent living with safety, security, and comfort.
Wellness offers the ability to closely monitor the activity in a location so that you can know exactly what is happening at all times. Understand your family member’s activity patterns and get an alert if it’s out of the ordinary, such as leaving the house at odd hours, as well as checking on your loved one to ensure they are getting up and about.
What is needed?
Wellness is an additional feature that can be added to your existing Surety account via the System Manager tab located in your Surety account dashboard.
