[{"type":"text","content":" TYSONS, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nAlarm.com (Nasdaq: ALRM) Wellcam™, the first smart home video solution designed to connect families and empower healthy, independent living, is a Security Today 2020 New Product of the Year Award winner for Fire & Life Safety. Wellcam helps families, medical professionals and others monitor the activity and well-being of loved ones or patients in their own home or a healthcare setting.\n\n\nThe demand for solutions like Wellcam is growing as individuals and organizations require non-intrusive, cost-effective services to help them look after people they care for, especially with social distancing guidelines in place due to COVID-19.\n\n\n“With the shortage of PPE earlier in the year, Wellcam was the perfect solution for a nearby hospital to keep the medical staff from needing to enter rooms to care for ill patients,” said Matt Vincent, owner of Smart Solutions, LLC in Bowling Green, Ky. “The staff could efficiently oversee multiple rooms at once, speak directly to patients to address their concerns and even monitor the entire room, specifically the patient vital signs on the hospital equipment screens.

Without having to use a phone, a person in need can simply tap Wellcam's call button to contact family members, who connect to view live video and hear audio.\n\n\nCheck in anytime with the mobile app. Family and medical professionals can use mobile and web apps to check live video as an additional safety net. Wellcam has a 180° field of view, 1080p high-definition resolution, Digital Enhanced Zoom and night vision.\n\n\nCatch up with Highlights. The Alarm.com Mobile App automatically assembles a video summary of a loved one’s daily activities logged by Wellcam, making it easy to quickly review their day without disturbing them.\n\n\nPowered by Alarm.com.
