Hardware vs monitored response
A cheap panic button by itself may only trigger a local alarm or connect to an existing system. A monitored panic service can alert a control room or response process. Always ask what happens after the button is pressed.
Who uses panic buttons?
- Elderly family members living alone
- Domestic workers or staff on-site during the day
- Small offices, reception areas and shops
- Families wanting an emergency trigger point
