The next generation business panic button system has arrived.
Panic Buttons for Offices, Home Visits and the Field
Silent Beacon’s workplace panic button system combines wearable panic buttons featuring a built-in speakerphone with a real-time notification dashboard, giving your team immediate visibility into who needs help and where they’re located. With everything in one place, your team can coordinate a faster, more informed response when every second matters.
What sets our panic button system apart
Calls 911 directly
One press calls 911 or your emergency number and alerts your team at the same time. Most panic buttons do one or the other.
Hands free speakerphone
A speaker and microphone built into the Beacon, so the employee talks to dispatch without reaching for a phone.
Patented Beacon to Beacon
Teammates’ Beacons vibrate, light up and sound in seconds. Two U.S. patents. Nobody else has it.
42 day battery
Rechargeable over USB-C with low battery alerts in the app, so the Beacon is ready when it counts.
Strict on privacy
Location is shared only while an alert is active or the employee turns on Footsteps. The rest of the time, nobody is tracked.
No drilling, no wiring
No wall units, wiring or network changes. Pair the Beacon to the app and go live in about two weeks.
SOC 2 Type II compliant
Independently audited security controls, encrypted infrastructure and continuous monitoring.
Silent Mode
The call stays connected and location keeps sharing, but the Beacon makes no sound, so nobody around knows you called for help.
Personal contacts
Each user picks the people they trust. One press reaches a supervisor, coworker or family member directly, not just a call center.
NBC 5 talks with a crisis team that uses Silent Beacon.
The Association for Individual Development’s mobile crisis responders take mental health and crisis calls across Illinois, often alone. NBC 5 Chicago followed the team and the wearable panic button they carry on every call.
“Associates communicate feeling safer knowing their supervisor knows where they are.”

Frequently asked questions
What is a panic button for business?
A business panic button lets an employee call for help with one press. With Silent Beacon, the alert goes to 911 or your designated contacts with the employee's location and two-way audio, and your team sees it in Control Center.
Will our staff be tracked? Is this asset tracking?
No. Location is shared only while an alert is active or the employee turns on Footsteps. The rest of the time, nobody is tracked.
How does a workplace panic button system work?
Employees carry a wearable Silent Beacon or use the Business app. When they press it, Control Center shows the alert and location, nearby coworkers can be alerted, and admins can send a Mass Notification.
Do employees need a device, or can they use the app?
Either. The Business app supports every alert mode on its own. The wearable panic button adds a discreet, one-press option when reaching for a phone isn't practical.
How long does the battery last?
Silent Beacon 2.0 is rechargeable, with up to 42 days on standby depending on use.
Is Silent Beacon secure?
Yes. Silent Beacon is SOC 2 compliant, and an employee's location is only accessible when they press the alert button.
