Wireless Pool Safety System
Voice Alert Making a Big Splash This Summer
Encinitas, Calif. – June 5, 2002 – Cross
Point Industries’ new Voice Alert™ Protection System has quickly become a top
consumer pool safety and child protection solution this pool season. Now available from retailers across the
country, Voice Alert’s rapid popularity is due to its unique ability to warn
parents before a child falls into the pool.
The need for stronger layers of pool safety is critical. Each year more than 450 children under the age of nine drown in residentially owned pools. Another 6500 are treated for near-drownings. In California, Arizona and Florida, drowning is the leading cause of accidental death in and around the home for children under the age of five. Nearly half of the child victims are last seen in the house before the accident occurs. (Consumer Product Safety Commission Study)
“The response to Voice
Alert has been tremendous,” says Phil Kessler, CEO of Cross Point Industries.
“While no device should replace direct supervision, parents appreciate a third
eye when the phone rings or a visitor knocks on the door and supervision is
momentarily lost. By sounding a
preventative, in-home warning, Voice Alert provides a strong layer of
protection and gives parents additional seconds that may mean the difference in
saving a child’s life.”
Engineered
with wireless military grade motion technology and customized voice recordings,
Voice Alert lets parents set up an effective and affordable pool safety system
within minutes. The Voice Alert base
unit records up to three unique messages and supports an unlimited number of
motion sensors. Each wireless motion
sensor features all-weather construction, monitors up to a 40x40-foot area and
transmits up to 1000 feet (300 feet through walls). Retail pricing is $149.95 for the VA3100 (base unit with one
sensor) and $199.95 for the VA3000 (base unit with two sensors). Additional sensors are $69.95.
