Panic Buttons for Homes and Shops: How They Work and What to Buy
Quick answer

A panic button is wired or wireless and, when pressed, sounds a siren and/or sends an alert to your phone or a security response company. Place one by the bed, behind the till and near the entrance, and test it monthly. A wireless pendant is useful for elderly relatives.

05Frequently asked questions

Does a panic button call the police?

Only if it is linked to a monitoring company or an app that does. A siren alone alerts neighbours and deters intruders.

Can I add one to my existing alarm?

Many wireless alarm panels accept extra panic remotes.
