Narration:

When possible, consider using a two piece monitoring device. For example, a monitor sends a signal that sets off a chime alert in another room every time the person opens an outside door. Depending on your situation, you may want to combine a monitor with a lock on the door (installed high or low) or with a voice reminder unit that tells the person to wait for you - which you can learn about in the next frame.
