Yes, but the monitoring option will still work, as the operator at the
company updates their database with each call, and once the alarm is
set, it cancels the reminder to call again.

It's a good system, and would work, but the original poster seems to
have dismissed it out of hand.

I think he's looking more for an ambulance-at-the-bottom-of-the-cliff
type system.

Still, I tried to help.

Never mind.
