Panic Buttons: What They Do and When to Use Them

Most homeowners focus on door sensors and cameras when thinking about home security, but the panic buttons built into your DSC PowerSeries Neo keypad are some of the most important features on the system.

The Neo keypad includes three dedicated panic functions: a medical panic, a fire panic, and a police panic. Each one sends a silent or audible alert directly to the monitoring center, even if the system is disarmed.

The medical panic is there for moments when someone in the home needs emergency help but can't get to a phone. The fire panic triggers an immediate alert to the monitoring center independent of your smoke detectors. The police panic connects you to emergency dispatch through Callaway's monitoring station, day or night.

These aren't features most people think about until they need them. Robert walks every new customer through where the panic functions are on their keypad during installation, so the whole household knows how to use them before anything happens.

If you're not sure where your panic buttons are or want to make sure your family knows how to use them, give us a call.

Why Around-the-Clock Monitoring Matters

Why Glass Break Sensors Are Important

Not all break-ins happen through doors. Glass break sensors are designed to detect the sound of shattering glass, helping systems respond quickly to unexpected entry through windows or glass doors.
