“Hand-Held Panic Alert Buttons” are small, remote-control-type units that can be carried on one’s person in or near the protected property. In case of an emergency, the button can be pressed to signal for assistance from a React Team.

“Exterior Siren and Strobe Light” consist of an audible alarm and flashing light which are mounted on the exterior of the protected property. When activated they clearly signal to neighbors, passersby, or responding authorities that an apparent unauthorized entry is in progress and may also deter an intruder from continuing illegal activity and cause them to flee.
