It is difficult to monitor the elderly if the caregiver does not live with the family or has to go out to work during the day. By installing a webcam at home, the caregiver can monitor the elderly's every move at home from a distance, and in the event that the elderly is found to be out alone, he/she can immediately notify the security guards or neighbors for assistance. For elders with early stage of cognitive impairment, it is recommended to explain to the elders and obtain their consent before installing the device in order to respect them. Otherwise, they may be suspicious due to lack of understanding and then remove the device, which may cause the elders to distrust the caregiver and damage their relationship.
