Quick Answer
A panic button app is a mobile application that allows you to send a discreet emergency alert with your location to a 24/7 monitoring service and pre-selected contacts. The MySentry app provides a silent SOS button that can be activated by touch or voice for immediate personal safety response.
How MySentry Works: Verified Facts
Panic alerts are triggered by voice command, smartphone tap, or smartwatch tap.
MySentry supports three activation methods so users can send alerts even when they cannot reach their phone.
Alerts include live GPS location, audio, and video.
When a panic alarm is triggered, 24/7 monitoring agents receive real-time location, live audio, and video from the user's device.
Emergency contacts receive SMS, push, and email notifications simultaneously.
All designated contacts are notified instantly through multiple channels to maximize response speed.
How It Works
- Activate the panic alarm with a single tap in the app, on your smartwatch, or by using a voice command.
- Your live location is securely shared with our 24/7 professional monitoring center.
- Your emergency contacts are instantly alerted via text message with a link to your location.
- A MySentry agent will immediately start a live video call to see what's happening and dispatch help if needed.
What Happens After an Alert
Our 24/7 monitoring agent receives the alert and your precise GPS location.
The agent immediately initiates a live video call to your phone.
They assess the situation visually and verbally, providing reassurance and guidance.
If you are unresponsive or in danger, the agent coordinates with local emergency services (police, ambulance) on your behalf.
