Panic devices can be fixed buttons, portable wireless buttons, or a special combination at the keypad. A variation on the panic device is Medical Alert. Typically medical alert uses a wireless button that is worn around your neck on a chain and can be activated if needed. These systems work best if the Central Station has the ability to have a 2 way conversation with whoever activates the system. Remember that this 2 way conversation must be capable of working anywhere in the home.
Detectors are also available to detect gas or water leaks or carbon monoxide gas.
These units can sound a special alert tone at the keypads, activate the sounders, or send a signal to the Central Station.

Like the gas detectors they can sound a special alert tone at the keypads, activate the sounders, or send a signal to the Central Station.
