Replace your emergency call system, without construction work.
The copper telephone network is being phased out. CARO replaces your existing call system with wireless, battery-free emergency buttons while residents keep living there. You get a quote per building for the general meeting.
Are your life-critical emergency calls still running over analogue lines? Your emergency call must never go down.
In Belgium, the copper telephone network is being phased out step by step. Call systems that dial an alarm centre over an analogue line have to be replaced. CARO fits into existing buildings, without new cables to every button.
From site visit to working system.

Site visit
We look at the building and the current call system, and note what each apartment and the common areas need.

Conversion while residents stay
Wireless buttons and the Caro Emergency Antenna keep work in the apartments to a minimum. Leiedam and Keizerhof were each converted in less than a week.

What building managers often ask us.
Can the conversion happen while residents live there?
Yes. Residentie Leiedam (39 assisted living apartments) and Residentie Keizerhof (80 apartments) switched over while occupied, each in less than a week.
Do cables have to be run to every button?
No. The emergency buttons work without cables and without batteries. Where extra coverage is needed, the Caro Emergency Antenna uses one cable for data and power.
How do we put this to the general meeting?
You get a quote per building, so the general meeting can decide building by building.
What happens to an emergency call during an internet outage?
Local servers in the building hold the emergency call and keep retrying until the connection is restored.
Who looks after the system after installation?
Our own support team monitors the systems day and night. If something goes wrong, the right people are notified and a technician looks into it.
