A technology-driven panic alarm is a technology based solution to get your staff help fast when they need it. Many panic alarm providers also offer optional hardware buttons that plug into your USB port as an added feature. The computer-based panic alarm allows you to request assistance quickly and discreetly from your colleagues and other responders.

What is the Best Panic Alarm?

There are a lot of great panic alarm options on the market. When making a purchase for a panic alarm, choose a system that will not cut into a large chunk of your time and budget. Look at a program that fits your specific safety needs. Also, make sure the system fills any communication gaps that your company may be facing.

The two key points when deciding on a panic system is fast notification to responders and up-to-date communication. Timely information to those who need to know as well as first responders can make all the difference when lives are at stake. Furthermore, centralized communication throughout the event enables responders to handle the crisis more efficiently.

What are the Pros to Having a Panic Alarm?

A panic alarm is discreet and easy to operate. Most technology-driven panic alarms have notifications that let you know that the alert went out to responders, so you are not wondering if the signal was received. These panic alarms are easy to install and are not very expensive. A computer-based panic alarm is much more reliable than traditional panic alarms. Furthermore, responders are notified within seconds that there is a crisis in your location. Alert notifications can be sent out via, text, email, phone call, computer, E911 and sometimes phone apps. Not all mass notification programs offer every feature. However, most programs have a collection of these functions that they provide with their system.

There is a growing number of technology-driven panic alarms on the market to research before making a decision. Having a panic alarm system that fits your security needs gives your employees a sense of security. That feeling of safety increases productivity in the workplace. I have had several companies tell me that they feel better just knowing the panic alarm is there. No one ever

hopes to actually use the alarm!
