Panic button

A panic alarm is an electronic device that can easily be activated to request help during an emergency where danger to persons or property exists.

It is designed to contact assistance quicker, easier, and simpler (in some cases, less conspicuously) than a conventional phone call.

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-contained electronic device powered by an internal long-life battery, typically Waterproof and designed to be shock resistant and highly durable.

In a medical emergency, the advantage over a simple cell phone is that the person in distress may not have the ability to dial the three digits for 911, and may not have the capability to vocalize.

Monitoring service centers that are approved by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) have internal backup systems to add redundancy.

Hitting the panic button will send a note-off command to all keys, stopping any notes that were still playing.
