Duress button software for Australian reception desks and offices.
Duress buttons do not have to be limited to a fixed switch under one desk. Duress Alert gives Australian teams an on-screen duress button, tray action, hotkey and optional physical buttons backed by local onsite alerts.
Software-first, with optional tactile buttons.
The best duress button is the one staff can actually reach under pressure. Duress Alert gives multiple trigger paths while keeping the live alert visible to local responders.
Screen button
A discreet workstation trigger for staff already using a computer.
Tray and hotkey
Fast access without leaving the workflow or reaching for a phone.
Optional physical button
Add tactile desk triggers from A$25 plus delivery where useful.
Fail-safe access
If a physical button is unplugged or faulty, software trigger paths remain available.
A duress button should tell colleagues where help is needed.
Fixed buttons can be hard to identify after they are pressed. Duress Alert can show configured room, PC, user and IP context so responders have useful information immediately.
Topmost pop-ups
Connected workstations show visible alerts that are hard to miss.
Identity context
Display configured location and workstation details according to policy.
Acknowledgement
The first responder is recorded and the initiator sees that help is coming.
Review trail
Incident history supports safety review, training and governance.
Common evaluation questions.
Often, yes. For many clinics, offices and reception teams, Duress Alert provides software trigger paths on existing computers, while optional physical buttons can still be added at selected desks.
Staff can still use the screen button, tray action or hotkey, so the physical button is not the only way to raise an alert.
