Alertus Personal Duress Badge

Intuitive one-touch incident reporting

Whether you work in a secure, secluded, lone-worker, or high-paced, crowded environment, quickly alerting your staff, personnel, and other affected stakeholders during an emergency is critical.

The Alertus Personal Duress Badge pairs with the AlertAware® Mobile App to offer a quick, subtle, and remote way for users to request help. It supports both personal duress and lone-worker scenarios, ensuring assistance is available precisely when and where it's needed most. 


Personal Duress Badge Highlights

  • Wearable: These lightweight, slim-profile badges can be easily attached to a keychain, badge clip, or lanyard.

  • Versatile: As a personal panic button, it can be used to notify security and first responders of an incident or to immediately launch a system-wide alert for a general emergency.

  • Waterproof: These waterproof badges ensure reliable performance even in the most challenging environments.

  • Affordable: Alerts are routed securely through employees' existing mobile devices and WiFi/cellular networks. This zero-infrastructure model for deployment within the facility eliminates the need for costly proprietary network hardware and their associated ongoing operational expenditures. 


Badge Features

Integration

Pairs with the AlertAware® Mobile App via a Bluetooth connection, enabling the badge holder to utilize AlertAware’s WiFi or cellular connection through the mobile app.

Simple to Use

Report an incident or launch an alert by pushing a textured button. Its concave design allows users to quickly locate it without needing to physically look at the badge, reducing the chance of activation failure.

Facility-Wide Activation

Pressing the panic button a defined number of times activates notification alerts through all integrated products; panic depression use cases (i.e., clicking the button repeatedly) are similarly supported.

Location Awareness

Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0 connectivity provides room-level location accuracy, helping reduce response times. No additional Bluetooth beacons are required for installation throughout the facility.


Personal Duress Badge Ideal Environments

Lone-Worker Situations

Organizations must be able to ensure and verify the well-being of lone-workers operating remotely for extended periods. Supporting this use case, the Personal Duress Badge solution allows personnel and their organization to establish and initiate scheduled and ad hoc wellness check-ins and initiate personal duress alerts that trigger active location monitoring for the life of the incident.

Education Institutions 

Rapid emergency response is critical for protecting school communities. This one-touch badge allows personnel and staff to report threats like active shooters, intruders, and disgruntled students from their classrooms or anywhere on school grounds, indoors or outdoors.

Government Entities

Most government officials are required to possess and wear identification lanyards to scan in and out of buildings and secure areas with little to no cell reception. In addition to reporting incidents and emergencies, these Bluetooth badges can notify personnel of specific system events through LED, vibration, and an audible tone mechanism.

Healthcare Facilities

Provide your employees with peace of mind and a reliable, discreet method to notify security personnel of an emergency. The Alertus Personal Duress Badge integrates seamlessly with existing infrastructure, ensuring immediate response and enhancing the safety of your organization.
