[edit] Personal Safety
A personal safety panic button is an electronic device designed to assist in emergency situations where a threat to persons or property exists. These buttons can be connected to a monitoring center, or a local bell/siren alarm. The alarm can be used to request emergency assistance from security or emergency services.
[edit] Medical Alert
A medical alert panic button or medical alarm is an electronic device worn on a bracelet or necklace as part of a medical alert system. When pressed, it sends a wireless signal to a home console which dials alarm monitoring staff and alerts them of an emergency condition. Depending on the severity of the situation, alarm monitoring staff will summon friends, family, or emergency services. A panic button alarm is a self contain electronic device powered by an internal long-life battery, typically waterproof and designed to be shock resistant and highly durable.
[edit] Monitoring services
The monitoring service is a call center facility that is staffed at all times to receive calls from the system console. Monitoring service centers that are approved by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) have internal backup systems to ensure continuous availability. Some monitoring services employ 911 trained operators enabling them to better evaluate the severity of help requests.
