Zytell’s cloud-hosted duress alarm system gives every staff member the ability to summon immediate help — with a single button press that triggers live audio streaming, camera engagement, and simultaneous notification to 911, local police, and administration.
From Panic Button to Police Response in Seconds
Traditional panic buttons call one number. Zytell activates your entire response chain simultaneously — while opening a live audio channel and locking cameras onto the incident location.
Hardware Options
- Wired panic buttons — hardwired to existing low-voltage infrastructure, tamper-monitored 24/7
- Wireless pendants — long-range RF with 2-year battery life, wearable, belt-clip, or keychain formats
- Desktop stations — fixed-position units for reception desks, security booths, and admin offices
- Mobile app activation — smartphone-based duress for remote or off-campus staff
What Happens When Activated
- Live audio stream opens immediately to 911, local police dispatch, and administration
- Nearest cameras automatically switch to the activation zone and begin recording
- AI target tracking engages — cross-camera tracking follows the subject through your facility
- SMS and push notifications sent to your full response list with location and timestamp
- Incident log created automatically with full audit trail for post-incident review
Cloud-Hosted Reliability
The Zytell duress system runs on redundant cloud infrastructure with a 99.97% uptime SLA. Even if your local network goes down, duress activations route through cellular backup to ensure your alerts always get through.
Recipient Configuration
Configure your alert recipient list through the Zytell dashboard — 911, local police non-emergency, building security, principal, superintendent, or any combination. Different zones or buildings can have different response trees.
