For years, community security included access readers, gates, cameras, and smart locks. These are essential for protecting property assets, but what if resident safety as an amenity extended beyond the confines of the property?
Enter the Safety Button. This personal protection solution gives residents and staff 24/7 access to trained operators anywhere in the U.S.—directly from their phone.
Proactive Protection Instead of Panic
Most personal safety solutions are reactive. You press a button after something bad happens.
The Safety Button is designed to be proactive, giving users confidence in challenging situations.
- Press and Hold: For situations where a resident might feel uneasy, like walking through a parking garage or across a dark campus, they can simply press and hold the safety button. If they release it without entering their PIN, trained operators are instantly alerted.
- Scheduled Check-Ins: For prearranged situations where an individual is alone and could be vulnerable. For example, a leasing agent who often shows vacant units alone can schedule a check-in before a tour. If they don’t confirm they’re safe within the set time, operators will text, call, and eventually dispatch help if there is no response.
- Nationwide Coverage: Whether traveling for work or vacation, residents and staff can use the Safety Button anywhere in the United States. They can leave notes for operators beforehand, such as “traveling alone for business in Chicago” or “meeting a stranger for an online marketplace sale.” If an emergency occurs, operators immediately have that critical context to share with local responders.
How It Works: Professional Help, Anywhere
Safety Button is a direct line to professional operators who can assess the situation and act when the user can’t.
- One-Touch Activation: Accessible via the app or a Home Screen Widget, help is never more than a tap away.
- GPS Precision: In an emergency, people often forget their exact location. Because the feature is GPS-enabled, operators can pinpoint the phone’s coordinates and dispatch police directly to the user, even if the user cannot speak.
- The “Silent” Protocol: If a user can’t talk or if their phone is taken, the operator follows a strict protocol: Text → Call → Dispatch. Help is sent even if the user never says a word.
Peace of Mind as the Ultimate Differentiator
For property owners and operators, the Safety Button sets you apart. It shows residents, staff, and family members that resident safety is a top priority, on the property and off.
By offering professional-grade personal security, you are building a community where people feel free to live their lives with confidence.
