What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
The Contact Mat is a pressure-sensitive pad that plugs into a Bellman Visit system transmitter and sends a wireless signal whenever someone steps on it — triggering flashing lights, vibration, or sound alerts on a paired receiver unit. It's designed for people who are deaf or hard of hearing and need a non-auditory way to know when someone is entering a room, approaching a doorway, or getting out of bed at night. This is an accessory component, not a standalone product — it requires an existing Bellman Visit transmitter and at least one receiver to function. Compatibility is specific to the Bellman Visit ecosystem, so it won't integrate with other alerting platforms.
