Silent Beacon’s Panic Button Systems for Offices and Businesses Featured on NBC News
Our panic buttons for offices are part of a complete business panic button system designed to protect employees and improve workplace safety. With wearable devices, a mobile app, and a centralized dashboard, businesses can monitor alerts, manage teams, and respond quickly to emergencies in real time.
Workplace Panic Button Systems for Real-World Emergencies
Silent Beacon’s wearable panic buttons help employees respond to medical emergencies, security incidents, and workplace threats. With instant alerts, GPS location tracking, and two-way communication, our business panic button system connects employees to help while keeping supervisors and response teams informed through our mobile app and centralized dashboard.
What sets our panic button system apart
Calls 911 directly
One press on the wearable panic button calls 911 or your emergency number and alerts your team at the same time. Most business panic buttons do one or the other.
Silent Mode
The call stays connected and location keeps sharing, but the panic button makes no sound, so nobody in the office knows you called for help.
Strict on privacy
Location is shared only while an alert is active or the employee turns on Footsteps. The rest of the time, no employee is tracked.
SOC 2 Type II compliant
Our business panic button system runs on independently audited security controls, encrypted infrastructure and continuous monitoring.
No drilling, no wiring
No wall units, wiring or network changes. Pair each office panic button to the app and go live in about two weeks.
Patented Beacon to Beacon
Coworkers’ panic buttons vibrate, light up and sound in seconds. Two U.S. patents. No other workplace panic button has it.
42 day battery
Rechargeable over USB-C with low battery alerts in the app, so every workplace panic button is ready when it counts.
Personal contacts
Each employee picks the people they trust. One press reaches a supervisor, coworker or family member directly, not just a call center.
Hands free speakerphone
A speaker and microphone built into the wearable panic button, so the employee talks to 911 dispatch without reaching for a phone.
“For the cost-benefit of Silent Beacon, it’s a no-brainer.”
Steve, CTO, New York Public Radio
What Sets Our Panic Button System for Businesses Apart
The patented Silent Beacon connects via Bluetooth to our safety app, transforming your smartphone into a powerful emergency response tool. With one press, employees can call any number, including 911, communicate through a hands-free speakerphone, and share their GPS location with designated contacts.
Organizations choose Silent Beacon because our solution goes beyond traditional panic buttons for offices, delivering a complete business panic button system with real-time alerts, GPS tracking, and dependable connectivity. Discover why Silent Beacon is a trusted solution for workplace safety, employee protection, and emergency response technology.
Extended Battery Life
Fully rechargeable, lasting over 40 days on a single charge, and can notify you when your battery level is low. This makes Silent Beacon’s emergency panic button for businesses a long-lasting and durable safety solution.
Hands Free Speakerphone
With a quality speaker and a sensitive microphone, you can manage your emergency without worrying about holding a phone or bulky device. This hands-free feature allows you to communicate easily through the emergency button while staying focused on your situation.
Strict On Privacy
Modern mobile safety technology is continuously advancing and privacy is becoming more important. In addition to being SOC 2 compliant, your location is only accessible when you press the alert button. All location data remains private and is not stored by Silent Beacon.
“Having the Silent Beacon provides an added layer of security and expedited communication in the event of an incident and increases ease of communication no matter where they are.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the safety app without the Silent Beacon panic button?
Yes, you can use the same alert features in our free Silent Beacon safety app. The main difference is that in an emergency, you might not be able to reach your phone, which makes a wearable panic button a great option. Use our safety articles to learn more about how panic buttons work.

Can I use your consumer safety app for my business?
The consumer safety app is designed to help individuals alert and locate their loved ones. It does not include an online dashboard for corporate insights, reporting, or compliance monitoring. For workplaces, our business panic button system pairs the Silent Beacon for Business safety app with office panic buttons and the Control Center dashboard.
Why is my Silent Beacon panic button glowing or blinking red?
When the Silent Beacon shows a solid red color, it means your Beacon is making a phone call. Use the Beacon to communicate with the person you have called. If it is blinking red, the emergency call has ended, but you are still in Emergency Mode. Open the main menu of the safety app and tap the button labeled “Emergency Alert Activated” to turn it off.
How do I reset my Silent Beacon panic button?
For the 1.0, hold both buttons for 30 seconds; the LEDs will cycle through the colors and then shut off.
For the all-new 2.0 panic button, hold both buttons for 15 seconds.
For both the 1.0 and 2.0, you will know you are pressing the buttons correctly when you see it blink white before the colors cycle.
