What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
This small sensor sits on top of your phone or tablet screen and detects when the screen lights up — triggering a connected Bellman Visit alerting device to flash a light, vibrate a bed shaker, or activate another alert in your home. It's designed for people who are deaf or hard of hearing and might miss calls, texts, or app notifications on their phone, especially in another room or when not looking at the device. This is one piece of a larger Bellman Visit system — you'll need a compatible transmitter/receiver already set up to see any benefit from this sensor. It connects via standard 2.5mm or 3.5mm jack, so check your existing Visit components for compatibility before purchasing.
