Take Your Security On The Go with Alarm.com’s Safety Button

Today, feeling safe and secure shouldn’t be limited to your home. With Alarm.com’s Safety Button, you can take your security on the go and have peace of mind knowing that help is just a tap away.

What is the Safety Button?

The Safety Button is a feature within the Alarm.com app that allows you to connect to police, fire, or emergency medical help with the press of a button2. If you ever feel unsafe but are not ready to call 911, simply hold down the Safety Button in the Alarm.com app. Once you release the button, you can cancel the event within 10 seconds or communicate with a trained operator who can dispatch responders directly to your real-time location. Even if you are unable to communicate, emergency responders will be automatically summoned to your location.

Who Can Use It?

Multiple users can utilize the Safety Button on an Alarm.com account, as long as they have their own login credentials and an available license. However, the Safety Button is only available in the U.S.
