Safety Button brings Alarm.com’s best-in-class security beyond the home—offering on-the-go protection anywhere in the U.S. When you feel uneasy but don’t want to call 911, simply press and hold the Safety Button. 

Once you release, you can either cancel the event or connect with a trained operator who can send help to your location.
