ABSTRACT:
A neighborhood watch circuit alert system comprising a plurality of novel alert units that inform neighbors that are members of the watch circuit of another neighbor's emergency and their location so that the other neighbors can (1) notify the appropriate emergency department and (2) lend personal assistance until help arrives. Each alert unit includes a means for transmitting coded signals to other alert units in the watch circuit, an audible alarm, a plurality of address indicia means with associated separate visual indicator means for identifying and locating the transmitting unit, and means for receiving the coded signals from an alert unit in the watch circuit to sound the audible alarm and activate the visual indicator means to identify and locate the transmitting unit. The alert units may be developed to transmit and receive a plurality of different coded signals which would (1) utilize several different coded signals to selectively indicate different types of emergencies, and (2) use a different and distinct coded address signal to identify and locate the transmitting alert unit. Also a remote control may be provided with each alert unit that is code signal matched with its alert unit to enable the user to have freedom of movement within a limited distance of the alert unit but still have the capability of actuating same.
