Hey Geekzoners,

 

I am after some advice please...
We have a reception desk that needs a Panic Button to be put in place if they require some assistance...

 

Can anyone offer a cost effective off-shelf solution? - it needs to be wireless solution and activate a bell / alarm system.

 

Many thanks - Grunta

Have you talked to your alarm providers (if you have one) - they may be able to add a wireless module to the alarm which could integrate with this.

 

Be aware, security companies can take a long time to respond to panic buttons being pressed.

Wouldn't something like that suffice?

I have two Dash-buttons from Amazon here that can be re-purposed for that. If you're interested let me know.
