2.5 DoorWatcher
DoorWatcher monitors offer protection against wandering from at-risk patients, especially useful for
facilities with memory care residents. The monitors provide a visual alarm indication when a resident tag
moves within range, can activate a door lock for delayed egress, and signal event details to Nexus for a
caregiver to respond.
Refer to DoorWatcher User Instructions for further details of how this equipment operates.
