Abstract

An emergency call system includes at least one wireless receiver located at a property having a plurality of residences for receiving wireless alarm signals from resident wireless devices and reset signals from attendant wireless devices, such as pendants. The wireless device module is operatively connected to the at least one wireless receiver for determining identity of respective resident devices and determining the response time in which an attendant has responded to an alarm signal from the resident device and which the attendant resets the alarm. The “staff reset” pendant contains a unique code identifying which staff pendant was used for a reset.
