Community Alarm

Community Alarm is an Android application that lets you create an alarm central using only a cell phone capable of sending SMS text messages.

The same application can operate as client or server. On the phone registered as Server enroll as many contacts as you want. These are the valid users of the system. From this list choose those who do you want to receive an alarm to of panic.

That's all you need to start using the application. If you like you can use the same application in client mode. This will give you additional features like an audible alarm in case of alarm and the possibility of knowing the name of the person in trouble.

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS

The phone configured as a Server has a list of valid contacts and a list of them to which you want to send an alarm message. The registered users of the Server are the only ones authorized to initiate a community alarm.

A user in trouble issues a call to the mobile number of the Server. The Server checks on its contact list if the caller is a valid contact. If so, the Server sends a text message to the configured users for receiving alarm information of the person who has problems.

If the person receiving the alarm does NOT have installed the application in Client mode, he/she will simply receive a text message with information about the alarm generated and the user name in trouble. If additionally the person receiving the alarm DO have the application installed in Client mode, he/she will hear an audible alarm plus information on who is the person who generated it.
