The doorbell that flashes
A child rings at the room door, and the light flashes so his Deaf parent knows to open it. 33 s.

A guest sets up the Travel Pack in her room: the door clip, the alarm clock and the pad under the pillow. 39 s.
Fitting a hotel fire alert
Visual fire alerts being installed in a hotel room. 1 min 6 s.
Hotels, hospitals and workplaces
The same Jenile system scales from one accessible room to a whole building.
Hotels and resorts
Accessible rooms that Deaf guests can book with confidence, with alerts for the door, wake-up calls and emergencies.
Hospitals and clinics
Visual and vibrating alerts for patients, and maternity packs so new mothers can keep their babies close.
Workplaces and government
Accessible fire and emergency alerts for Deaf employees and visitors in offices and public buildings.
The Travel Pack
A portable kit for Deaf travellers, and for hotels that want accessible rooms ready on request.
Place the vibrating pad under the pillow and connect the receivers: the alarm clock, the clip-on door alert and the fixed flash. As soon as the alarm clock receives a signal it starts the pad, so you know what is happening in your room while you sleep.
- Vibrating alarm clock with flash
- Clip-on door alert for the room door
- Vibrating pillow pad
