A duress alarm is a safety device which is designed to help lone workers and people in an emergency or dangerous situation. Unlike other alarms that protect buildings and premises, a duress alarm system is meant for individual use, and features an easy-to-use panic button that can be activated with just a simple press in case of emergency. The alarm can be used in situations where there may be a risk of physical danger or harm, such as transport staff, healthcare workers, and social workers, who often need to work alone, away from their fixed workplace.   

GPS Geo Guard’s duress alarm system is portable, and can be worn as a pendant or bracelet. The alarm is fitted with GPS, two-way communication, and a Panic Button that can be activated with a single press in case of an emergency. The panic button can be pressed discretely, without alerting the threat actors. As soon as the panic button of the duress alarm system is pressed by the user, an alert will be sent to GPS Geo Guard’s monitoring team. The team will ensure that it is not a false alarm, and dispatch immediate help to the user, including security personnel, paramedics, or ambulance, as asked by the user. In case the user does not communicate, help will be sent in any case, assuming that the person is unable to communicate for being in a duress situation.   

This way, the duress alarm system ensures peace of mind for the wearer. If you are in a business where your workers have to work lonely, away from their fixed workplace, such as healthcare workers, transporters, and social workers. By equipping your employees with a duress alarm system, you will not only discharge your duty of care, but also have peace of mind that help will be available to your staff whenever they are in need.   

Personal tracking device for the safety of the elderly, kids, and pets   

 A personal tracking device is a useful device for elderly, kids, as well as employees, that provides you with real-time tracking with GPS location of the wearer. You can even set geofencing in the alarm, so you will get an alert as soon as the person moves out of or enters the geofenced area. The alarm can be used to keep tabs on your important items, such as computers, equipment, tools, etc. It’s very useful for persons with special needs, such as the elderly, kids, those who frequently walk or hike alone, or are prone to health emergencies, and pets.
