Unfortunately, crime has always been. And today she has not gone anywhere. Life is such that the possibility of robbing a home cannot be ruled out. Therefore, you should take care of your safety, your household and your property in advance. One of the most effective means of protection is the panic button. Its installation will not only allow you to feel more secure, but also know that at your very first signal a quick response group will come to you.
What is a panic button?
This name refers to an element of the security alarm system, the purpose of which is to transmit an alarm signal from the scene to a remote control panel. By the received signal, a quick response group leaves.
How does the alarm button work ?
There are various embodiments of the panic button. It can be manual, foot or even remote. For home use, hand or foot options are best. They are usually mounted next to the front door, so that when you open the door you can call the task force if someone is trying to break in. Remote options are more commonly used in offices where remotes are issued to staff for working hours. But the principle of operation for all of them is approximately the same. When the button is mechanically acted upon, the electric circuit opens (sometimes, on the contrary, closes) , after which the control panel transmits a signal to the monitoring panel.
Panic Button Benefits
- Speed of a call. If you call the police by phone, you must first take the phone, dial the number, and then tell the operator what happened and give the address where everything happens. This takes a very long time, especially provided that the account can go just seconds. The alarm button allows you to call the outfit much faster.
- Ease of use. This advantage is closely linked to the previous one. In order to call the task force, you only need to press the button and you do not need to dial a number or report the incident and details.
- Fast reaction. When a signal arrives at the central control panel to the place from which it was received, an outfit is immediately sent.
- Continuous monitoring. The control panel and the button are constantly in working condition, in standby mode - both day and night.
- Simplicity of operation. The button does not interfere or attract attention. There is no need to check and configure it, as this is monitored by maintenance staff.
How much does the panic button cost?
The price of this security tool is calculated taking into account the costs of both the equipment itself and maintenance. The basic equipment includes an panic button, a control panel and consumables. Its cost varies greatly depending on the manufacturer, and starts from the amount of 7000 rubles. But this is only equipment. Each month, you need to pay a maintenance fee, which includes system monitoring, signal response, technical support and service. Its cost is from 5000 rubles.
