Personal safety isn’t just about alarms and locks. It’s about having the power to summon help, instantly, wherever you are-without delay, confusion, or hesitation. The Alarm.com Safety Button, available through Park Security Systems, brings this peace of mind to your smartphone, transforming the way you protect yourself, your loved ones, and your business.

What Is the Alarm.com Safety Button?

The Safety Button is a feature built directly into the Alarm.com app, designed for both residential and commercial users. With a simple press and hold, you can connect to police, fire, or emergency medical help-no extra hardware required. Unlike traditional panic buttons, this solution works wherever your phone goes, making it ideal for families, employees, and anyone who wants security on the move.

How Does It Work?

When you feel unsafe or face an emergency, open the Alarm.com app and press the Safety Button. Hold it down until you’re ready to release. Upon release, you have a brief window to cancel the alert with your PIN if you no longer need help. If you don’t cancel, or if you’re unable to respond, a trained operator receives your emergency request, complete with your name, phone number, and precise GPS coordinates.

The operator will attempt to reach you via text or phone call. If you confirm the emergency-or if you’re unable to answer-emergency responders are dispatched to your real-time location. You can also send contextual notes, providing critical details that help first responders act quickly and appropriately.

Why Is the Safety Button So Valuable?

Immediate, Mobile Access to Help

Emergencies don’t wait for you to be near a landline or even in the same room as your security panel. The Safety Button puts emergency response in your pocket, whether you’re at home, at work, walking to your car, or traveling.

Discreet and Flexible

Sometimes, dialing 911 isn’t possible. You might be in a situation where speaking out loud could escalate the threat, or you might not be able to talk at all. The Safety Button allows for silent activation and even lets you text with dispatchers-ideal for high-stress or dangerous scenarios.

Real-Time Location Sharing

When every second counts, responders need to know exactly where to go. The Safety Button shares your precise GPS location, eliminating confusion and speeding up response times. This is especially vital for children, elderly family members, or employees who work alone or in unfamiliar settings.

Professional Monitoring and Response

With the Safety Button, you’re never alone. Trained operators handle your request, verify the emergency, and coordinate with local authorities. Even if you can’t communicate, help is on the way.

Easy Setup and Use

Getting started is simple. Log into the Alarm.com app, enable the Safety Button, and follow the prompts to verify your device and location settings. Each user gets a unique login, so multiple family members or employees can have their own Safety Button-no sharing required.

Who Benefits from the Safety Button?

Residential Users

  • Families: Parents can rest easier knowing children or elderly relatives have a direct line to help, whether they’re home alone or out and about.
  • Individuals Living Alone: The Safety Button provides reassurance that help is always within reach, even if a phone call isn’t possible.
  • Travelers: Take your security with you, whether you’re jogging, commuting, or on vacation.

Commercial Users
