What are Panic & Duress Alarms?

Panic and duress alarms are powerful emergency response systems designed to provide maximum deterrence when you need it most. These loud alarm systems connect directly to our 24/7 monitoring center, activating powerful sirens, flashing strobe lights, and external alarms to scare away intruders while summoning immediate help. Whether you're facing a home invasion, medical emergency, or business threat, a simple button press triggers an overwhelming deterrent response that alerts neighbors and emergency services.

For families, panic alarms provide peace of mind through immediate deterrence, especially for elderly residents or those with medical conditions. In business environments, duress alarms protect employees by triggering loud sirens that scare away robbers and violent threats. The power of these systems lies in their overwhelming deterrent effect – they create maximum noise and attention, ensuring intruders flee while help is on the way.

Modern panic and duress alarms integrate with existing security systems, offering activation methods including wall-mounted buttons, wireless keyfobs, and emergency devices. Each activation triggers sirens and lights while transmitting to our monitoring center, where we verify the emergency and coordinate response.
