🚨 How to Trigger the Panic Alarm 🔕 How to Cancel the Alarm What Happens Next? Getting False Alarms?

The SOS button on your keypad lets you quickly call for help in an emergency. Pressing and holding it triggers a panic alarm that alerts our monitoring station and can result in police dispatch.

🚨 How to Trigger the Panic Alarm

  1. Locate the SOS button at the top of your keypad.
  2. Press and hold it for about 3 seconds.
  3. Your keypad will display "Police Alarm" and the siren will sound.

🔕 How to Cancel the Alarm

If the alarm was triggered by accident, cancel it right away:

  1. Enter your 4-digit disarming code on the keypad.

What Happens Next?

Shortly after the alarm is triggered, our monitoring station will call you to check in.

  • If you confirm you need help, or
  • If you don't answer the call in time,

The monitoring station will assume assistance is needed and will request police dispatch to your location.

Tip: Because a real dispatch can be requested quickly, only use the SOS button in an actual emergency — and be ready to answer the follow-up call so you can cancel dispatch if it isn't needed.

Getting False Alarms?

If your SOS button seems to be triggering panic alarms on its own, please reach out to our Support Team if you have any additional questions or require further assistance.
