What is a Duress Alarm?

A duress alarm, also known as an emergency button or panic button, enables discreet alerting in case of threats without drawing attention. When activated—often via button press or motion detection—it triggers alarms including location data and live updates. Safectory extends this with BLE tags like Campanella with button functionality, tracking positions with meter-level accuracy.

Safectory Technology in Action

Safectory provides GDPR-compliant RTLS with beacons (e.g., AA-Beacon), tags (e.g., Lynmouth) and gateways for indoor/outdoor positioning. The plug-and-play hardware utilizes existing networks like Aruba, Extreme, or Cisco without the need for recabling. In duress scenarios, tags send real-time positions to the backend or API—ideal for factories, hospitals, or logistics.

Integration with Partner Components

Safectory’s solution is interoperable with alarm servers and handhelds from partners like Ascom. This not only allows for a wide choice of devices but also enables multi-channel processing of signals (app, SMS, voice) that escalate to 24/7 monitoring centers. Example: A duress button tag triggers the alarm server, which receives location data via BLE-RTLS and automatically alerts emergency services—GDPR-secure and scalable.

Advantages for Businesses

• Precise Localization: Room-level accuracy reduces response times by up to 70%.
• Security & Compliance: Made in Germany, full data sovereignty, no cloud requirement.
• Easy Scaling: From pilot to global rollout within days.

In nursing homes or factories, this optimizes processes and protects staff.
