How Our Man Down Duress System for Correctional Officers Works
Your correctional officers or visitors carry the Duress Device.
Duress Device sends a signal once per second back to the control room.
If there is an incident, press the panic button to signal an emergency.
The system responds immediately.
Location is shown on a control room monitor.
Know where officers and visitors are at all times.
The Duress Device transmits a signal once a second, so the Guard1 Tracking system knows where it is at all times.
6 different personal alarm alerts - so if there's an incident and your officers or visitor can't press the button, they're still covered.
The Duress Device will signal for 6 different conditions so that even if your officer is knocked over or not moving and unable to press the button, The Duress Device will signal and let you know your officer's location.
The Duress Alarm sends an alert when pressed, but will also send an alert in these scenarios:
Man down (device is in a tilt or horizontal position)*
Panic alert when button is pressed
Low battery
No motion
Detached from holster
Not seen alert (no transmissions received)*
*Timing and grace periods for these alerts are configurable, and secondary alerts can be disabled if desired.
Respond instantly, with new location notifications once a second.
Guard1 supports alarms and signaling devices, including our Tower Light.
Know which zone staff or visitors are in your facility.
Guard1 is a zone-based location system. It identifies the zone where an alert occurs - a housing area, corridor, meeting room - any zone you set-up within your facility. Each zone has one or more Guard1 receivers. For additional location information, we offer the Precision Location tag.
