Businesses around the world are altering their stance on the way they look at security. In the United States, many companies are utilizing technology to help make their facilities safer for employees. There are a large number of safety and security tools out there to choose. When shopping for the perfect device to fit your facility\u2019s needs, be sure that you take into consideration whether the product is innovative or traditional. Silent alarms play an important part in the options that you have.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_551\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-551\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/product\/two-button-stationary\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-551\" src=\"https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/button-600x191.jpg\" alt=\"systems\" width=\"600\" height=\"191\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-551\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Our under desk silent panic button hardware<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>What is the Difference Between a Traditional and Technology Driven Silent Alarm Button?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There is a major problem with the traditional panic buttons. This type of panic button system is a blanket product that usually requires a outside installer to install which interrupts daily office activities. Many traditional buttons are offered through local alarm companies. The alarm company hardwires the panic devices in through your phone system to be able to send out alerts. The problem with that is, you do not know how long it takes to contact responders or if it is even working. CRS tested some old-fashioned panic system a few years ago. We are still waiting for the confirmation to go through that the alert was received. The old school panic button had a broken wire due to some construction from years ago, and no one knew. Imagine a situation where you think the signal went through to responders and it did not. What do you guess is going to happen?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6650 size-medium aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2E1A5530-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2E1A5530-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2E1A5530-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2E1A5530-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Software-driven silent alarm button systems\u00a0offer\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ehstoday.com\/safety\">security<\/a> initiatives for your company that is technology based.\u00a0There are systems in today\u2019s market that integrate internal and external notification alerts to\u00a0multiple people, using multiple channels ALL at the push of a button. You also get the benefit of multiple alert levels instead of just the one alert level offered by traditional panic systems. Some of the new age notification systems also provide E911 integration. Meaning the warning system will notify employees through multiple channels, but it will also call your local 911 dispatch. Furthermore, modern notification systems are easier to manage. You can usually make changes from one centralized point without contacting your local alarm company for assistance.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How does a CRS S<\/strong><strong>ilent Alarm Button\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The click of a computer mouse or an optional hardware button from any computer running CRS Notify program, instantly alerts multiple people and responders using multiple communication channels including computer, cell phone, email, text, phone call, e911 and monitoring services. By default, CRS Notify can raise either level alert via computer mouse from the tray icon of the workstation. Our computer-based silent alarm button system has centralized communication with adjustable alert levels.<\/p>\n<p>When you want to alert your responders and not the creepers, the alert room can be resized and muted\u00a0for an inconspicuous silent alarm. You can set alerts to a specific color to ensure simplicity for all users. The initiation of an alert opens a centralized, real-time communication channel to keep everyone updated until the situation has been handled. Each user is shown by their name and location throughout the situation. Text and email recipients also get follow-up notifications on any communication entered into the alert room.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6619\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6619\" style=\"width: 382px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/crsnotifynew\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-6619\" src=\"https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/windows-600x470.png\" alt=\"silent alarm\" width=\"382\" height=\"299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/windows-600x470.png 600w, https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/windows-768x601.png 768w, https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/windows.png 1003w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 382px) 100vw, 382px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6619\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An image of our software raised by silent alarm using a hardware button.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A unique feature of CRS Notify is that you can connect multiple buildings together in the event of an emergency. Connect multiple buildings on the same campus, multiple locations in the same area, or even multiple offices across the globe. All of your offices can connect back to one centralized point so you know immediately if a high alert was raised at any one of your facilities around the world! CRS Notify allows you to then communicate with those facilities to send and receive real-time updates via the alert room on the situation.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>When Choosing a Silent Alarm Button System Consider the Facts<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In conclusion, the silent alarm button systems of today are far more reliable than the old school panic buttons of yesterday. \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/safety-systems\/\">New age software<\/a>\u00a0alerts systems are also far less expensive and easier to install.
