Whether you need wireless panic buttons, fixed emergency buttons, or personal duress alarms, we can recommend practical security solutions tailored to your workplace, operating procedures, and safety requirements.

What Is a Duress Alarm?

A duress alarm is a security device that allows someone to raise an emergency alert when they feel threatened, unsafe, or require urgent assistance.

Unlike standard intruder alarms, duress systems are designed to let a person deliberately trigger an alert, often discreetly.

Depending on the equipment and configuration, duress alarm solutions may include:

• Wireless panic buttons

• Fixed panic buttons

• Personal panic pendants

• Silent duress alarms

• Staff safety alarms

• Emergency notification and monitoring connections

These emergency panic alarm systems can be configured to notify designated staff, security personnel, or a professional monitoring center, depending on the installed equipment and response arrangements.

Duress Alarms for Businesses

Duress alarm systems for businesses help protect employees who may encounter aggression, threats, or emergencies while performing their duties.

Our commercial panic alarm systems can be tailored to different working environments, helping staff request assistance without escalating a potentially dangerous situation.

Common applications include:

• Banks and financial institutions

• Retail stores and shopping centers

• Reception and customer service areas

• Medical and healthcare facilities

• Pharmacies and clinics

• Hospitality venues

• Offices and commercial premises

• Schools and educational facilities

• Warehouses and industrial workplaces

• Other high-risk working environments

Staff duress alarm systems provide an additional safety measure for employees working alone, handling cash, dealing with the public, or responding to challenging situations.

Ray Turner Technologies can help businesses select appropriate workplace panic buttons and emergency alert systems based on their operational requirements.

Back-to-Base Monitoring

Duress and panic alarm systems can be connected to compatible back-to-base monitoring services, providing an additional layer of support when an emergency alert is activated.

When a monitored duress alarm is triggered, a signal can be transmitted to a monitoring center, where operators follow the agreed response procedures.

Depending on the monitoring arrangement, this may involve contacting nominated personnel, security responders, or emergency services.

Monitored duress alarm systems can be particularly useful for businesses requiring a structured emergency response process.

Our team can assess your existing security equipment and explain the available monitoring and integration options.

Duress Pendants

Personal duress alarms provide a discreet way for staff to request assistance while moving around a workplace or performing duties away from a fixed desk.

Wireless duress pendants can be worn or carried, allowing users to activate an emergency alert without returning to a stationary panic button.

Depending on system design, applications may include:

• Retail workplaces

• Lone workers

• Reception staff

• Medical workplaces

• Aged care facilities

• Employees working in isolated areas

These personal panic alarm systems are particularly useful where staff mobility is important and access to a fixed emergency button may be limited.

Wireless coverage, communication range, and alert functions depend on the selected equipment and installation environment.

Fixed Panic Buttons

Fixed panic buttons are installed in designated locations where employees may need immediate access to an emergency alert.

These workplace panic buttons can be positioned discreetly at counters, desks, or other accessible locations based on a workplace risk assessment.

Common installation areas include:

• Reception desks

• Cash counters

• Offices

• Medical reception areas

• Security rooms

• Interview rooms

Fixed duress alarm systems may use wired or wireless panic buttons, depending on the premises and security requirements.

The devices can be configured to trigger suitable notifications or monitoring procedures, allowing staff to request assistance quickly and discreetly.

Duress Systems & CCTV

Duress alarm systems can be integrated with compatible CCTV security systems to improve situational awareness during an emergency.

When an alert is activated, an integrated system may help authorized personnel identify the relevant area and review available camera footage.

Depending on compatibility, CCTV integration may support:

• Video verification

• Incident recording

• Faster identification of the affected area

• Review of recorded security events

• Improved situational awareness

Combining panic alarms with security cameras can provide a more coordinated approach to workplace safety and incident management.

Ray Turner Technologies can assess your existing CCTV equipment and recommend suitable integration options.

Duress & Access Control

Duress alarms can work alongside compatible electronic access control systems to support a more comprehensive workplace security strategy.

Integrating these technologies may allow businesses to manage entry permissions while maintaining dedicated emergency alert functions.

Duress + Alarm + CCTV + Access Control + Monitoring

The appropriate combination depends on your building, operational procedures, and security requirements.

Our team can help businesses assess how these systems can work together to improve workplace security and emergency response.

Duress Systems for Lone Workers

Employees working alone or in isolated environments may face additional safety challenges because immediate assistance is not always nearby.

Lone worker alarm systems provide a way for employees to raise an alert when they encounter a threatening situation or require support.

Depending on the equipment, personal duress alarms may offer portable activation, wireless communication, and notifications to designated contacts.

These systems may be suitable for employees working in retail, healthcare, warehouses, offices, and other environments where staff operate independently.

For businesses with lone workers, choosing suitable communication coverage, escalation procedures, and monitoring arrangements is essential.
