What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
This magnetic contact sensor detects when a door or window is opened and sends a signal through the Bellman Visit system so a deaf or hard-of-hearing person can be alerted via flashing lights, bed shakers, or other visual/tactile receivers. It's designed for someone who can't rely on hearing a door open — whether a family member arriving, a child leaving through a back door, or an intruder entering. This is a component, not a complete solution: you need both a Bellman Visit Multipurpose Transmitter to relay the signal and at least one Visit-compatible receiver (such as a strobe light or wristband) to actually be notified. The cable is only about 1.6 feet long, so placement is constrained by how close the transmitter can be mounted to the door or window frame.
