HOTBuddy

HOTBuddy is a complimentary service to the existing HOTEYE offerings to protect our main asset "our customers!".

HOTBuddy allows a user to assign two panic buttons to his own and family member phones. This allows a single subscriber to include all his family member phones. In case of emergency any family member phone can used! The panic messages are user defined and are sent to your nominated HOTBuddies.

In case of an emergency time is of the essence. Luckily we all have mobile phones and it is so easy to create your own emergency message and select your HOTBuddies". HOTEYE users are often farmers who have to leave their houses to respond to livestock alarms. This leaves them and their families at home exposed. By having a 3 second emergency button at hand, help is just a button press away.

Example of use:
An example is where a farmer named James Cohen" of farm "Rosenveldt" would assign a security/medical emergency message "I need help"  to button 3 and a "Fire on farm" emergency message to button 9 on his mobile phone. He can then select his closest neighbours as HOTBuddies as well as family members and farm workers. 

• In case of a medical or security emergency the farmer (and his house members) only have to press down button 3 on his mobile phone for 3 seconds. All his HOTBuddies will immediately receive SMSes stating : "James Cohen 012345678 Rosenveldt - I need help".
• In case of fire the same farmer (and his house members) only have to press down button 9 on his mobile phone for 3 seconds. All his HOTBuddies will immediately receive SMSes stating : "James Cohen 012345678 Rosenveldt - Fire on farm". 
   
  Note that the number of the phone from which the panic originated is also displayed in the message.
