How Does a Panic Button System Work?

A panic button system works by instantly connecting the user to emergency contacts or services with the press of a button. Silent Beacon’s panic button can make calls to 911 or other pre-selected numbers while simultaneously sending alerts with your GPS location via text, email, or push notifications.
