User Experience
A member of Wahsega’s Carina IP Intercom product family, the IP Panic
Button is a surface mounted, low profile IP intercom built for placing calls
in emergency situations. At the other end of the call, the listening party
can remotely activate the IP Panic Button’s onboard relay to unlock a door
or activate a security device. With no integrated speaker, it is built for silent
calls to a preconfigured number during emergency situations.
The IP Panic Button supports the SIP protocol so it can register with the
Wahsega PICS, Diet IP PBX or any IP PBX for easy integration with your
existing phone system. The best way to manage this device is through the
Carina Event Manager or Event Manager Lite.
Advanced panic button functionality helps to reduce the number of false
alarm triggers from the panic button. With this advanced functionality, a
brief button press places a call to one preconfigured number—such as the
front office—while a longer press-and-hold will call a second,
preconfigured panic number such as a security desk.
An onboard relay on the IP Panic Button enables room lockdowns by
allowing a remote party to control a powered door lock. The onboard relay
could also be used to activate a camera, strobe or another security device
while the remote caller monitors events via SIP audio.
The Carina Event Manager automatically discovers and registers any
Carina IP Intercom at startup, and all programming and configuration can
be handled individually or in bulk through the Carina Event Manager
dashboard. This greatly simplifies the installation process and makes it
easy to manage the system once installed.
