Workplace Panic Button
A workplace panic button has become one of the top priorities in the security world. Technology-driven panic button systems have specific functions that traditional hard-wired panic buttons do not possess. For instance, an agitated criminal enters your facility and catches an unsuspecting victim off guard. There is no certainty that the traditional device is functional enough to send out the alert to responders because no confirmation is given that the alert was received. Furthermore, the victim may not be able to access a phone to call responders of the potential threat, either. This level of vulnerability leaves your employees and your facility unprotected.
