Our most successful installations use heavy duty velcro to fix the buttons to a specific location.

Installation
This is high facility-dependent. If you have residents or individuals with mobility issues, beside the bed or chair might be appropriate, whereas other spaces elect to have them by the door. You can also vary the positioning according to the layout of a space and your specific needs

Installation
Installation does not require an electrician. The hub is plugged into the wall, and a call is booked with our technician. During that call, the buttons are turned on, tested, and assigned their location names. You can email our technician at <a href= "mailto: clientsupport@brave.coop"> clientsupport@brave.coop </a> to set up an installation call.

Installation
BRAVE hubs use a SIM card to send messages, and do not require wifi access. A simple way to test for connectivity is with a cellphone: if your cellphone has at least two bars of reception, our buttons and hubs will work in your space.

Facility
Our hubs have a range of 200m. Sometimes, thick walls will impact this.

Facility
A button is assigned to a physical location. In the case of housing, many successful installations have one button in each private room. In other cases, buttons are installed in publicly accessible areas. A button can be placed anywhere that an individual might want to alert for support, either for themselves or someone else.

Facility
The hub needs to be plugged into an outlet and takes standard power. Depending on the layout of your building, more than one hub may be needed to cover the entire location. This hub can be stored in a public or private location.

Hardware
The buttons are rechargeable and use a microUSB charger. This is a rare event and occurs about once a year, depending on use. They will send a low battery alert to responders.

Hardware
Each button installation comes with two parts: buttons and hubs. The hubs act as modems that send and receive messages from the buttons and relay them to our alert system.

They send an alert message that a button assigned to a specific location has been pressed. They do not have GPS, cameras, lights or make any sound.

BRAVE buttons send an alert when pressed by connecting to a SIM card stored in a hub. This allows a discreet message to be sent in real time to responders via text message or Microsoft Teams alert.
