What is a Panic Alarm Button?
Panic Buttons
Used to Trigger an Alarm Event!
A panic alarm button is a device that is used to trigger an alarm in case of an emergency. It is typically a button that can be pressed or a switch that can be flipped to activate the alarm system. The button can be wired or wireless and is often used in security systems, such as in homes, businesses, banks, hospitals or schools. When activated, a panic alarm button will generate a loud, audible siren to alert people in the area that an emergency situation is occurring and they should take appropriate action.
When a panic alarm button is pressed, the GeoArm central monitoring station receives the signal and based on the type of signal and the nature of the emergency will dispatch the appropriate response. In most cases, this will involve alerting the appropriate emergency services such as the police, fire department, or ambulance. The GeoArm monitoring station will also attempt to contact the property owner, keyholders, or designated emergency contacts to inform them of the situation and ask for further information or confirmation of the emergency.
