• Additional camera for $4.99/month/camera

Competitive Monthly Pricing 

Although Home8Care has higher equipment fees, the company does not have monthly fees, which is rare for a medical alert company.

Large Protection Group 

Under Home8Care's premium plan, consumers are able to have a constant 4-tier protection group that can be contacted immediately through Home8Care's system. This protection group consists of the owners themselves who have full management and access to the system/contact options, authorized users (typically family members), all emergency contacts, and local first responders like the police or fire departments.

RF433 Range Extender

Home8care features the RF433 Range Extender, which essentially doubles the wireless range of their devices such as the panic button. The device is available through the company's online store. A longer range ensures more protection in the case of an emergency. 

• Pre-qualification Requirements
• Product Fee 

Pre-qualification Requirements

Before consumers purchase a Home8Care system, they are required to have a cable or DSL internet provider, a Wi-Fi router with a LAN port available for physical connection, a smartphone, and outlets for plug in. Without these requirements met, those who are interested in Home8Care cannot install the system. 

Product Fee 

The medical alert system equipment package that Home8Care offers costs between $69.99 and $119.99. This package includes one dongle, one security hub, and one panic button device. Although it comes with a one-year warranty, a 30-day free service, a 30-day money-back guarantee, and free shipping, it may be a steep price for those interested in medical alert systems. 

The various system add-ons that Home8Care offers also have fairly high costs. For example, one mini talking camera available for purchase costs $99.99 as one of the lower priced alarm items.
