In-Home Monitoring in Poor Coverage Areas: A Smarter, More Reliable Solution
INS LifeGuard • March 29, 2025
For many Australians living in rural or regional areas—or even in certain homes with thick walls or coverage black spots—mobile signal isn’t always reliable. However, unreliable communication isn't an option when it comes to personal safety and emergency response.
If you or someone you care for depends on an in-home personal alarm or monitoring system, poor mobile coverage can create dangerous gaps in protection.
The good news? There’s a reliable solution that ensures help is always within reach—even when mobile signal isn’t.
A Smarter Way to Stay Connected: Introducing the IP/SIP Add-On
INS LifeGuard offers an IP/SIP Add-On for our SmartHome LGX in-home monitoring device, designed specifically for homes and properties with limited or unreliable mobile coverage.
This add-on allows the SmartHome LGX to make emergency call-back calls using Wi-Fi or Ethernet, instead of relying solely on the traditional mobile (GSM) network.
This means you can still receive 24/7 emergency response and nurse support—even if there’s no mobile signal in your area.
Don’t Have the SmartHome LGX Yet?
No problem. The SmartHome LGX is INS LifeGuard’s advanced in-home personal alarm and health monitoring hub. It can be installed in any home and is available for new clients and care providers Australia-wide.
When placing your order, simply ask to include the IP/SIP Add-On if mobile reception is a concern at your location. It’s a great way to future-proof your monitoring system and ensure it works reliably from day one.
How It Works
Setup is straightforward and doesn’t require additional hardware:
Order or upgrade
via our buy-back offer to a SmartHome LGX with the IP/SIP Add-On.
Connect the device to Wi-Fi or Ethernet in your home.
Our team will send a firmware update and configuration codes remotely.
Once enabled, the system will place emergency callback calls using your internet connection instead of the mobile network.
While we can pre-configure the system before it’s shipped, we recommend on-site setup to allow proper testing and ensure the system functions smoothly in your environment.
Who Is This For?
This solution is ideal for:
- People living in rural or regional areas
- Homes with weak or unreliable mobile coverage
- Older Australians or vulnerable individuals living independently
- Care providers or villages looking to ensure continuity of service
- Anyone needing reliable in-home emergency monitoring
