Sometimes incidents happen. Staff need to send an alarm discreetly. That’s why we offer LynxKeyPro, a keyboard panic button duress alarm that operates when a computer is logged on, logged off, or locked, is supervised, and is easily tested.

A computer can have up to 3 different key combinations – F9-F11 can be duress/panic. F1-F12 De-escalation or Assistance needed – discreetly notifying everyone accept the person who sent it.

Leading the Industry in Supervised, Easily Tested Panic Button Solutions

Whether employees use a keyboard-based panic button alarm, LynxUSB panic button, hardwired PoE, or wireless buttons, any of those inputs can communicate with any Lynx Output. Lynx can communicate through various existing devices using LynxMessenger.

This includes computer pop-ups, emails, text messages, and text-to-speech announcements to radios and PA systems with embedded REAL-TIME live video feeds. For emergency notification, the software can easily be installed on thousands of computers and is easy to manage, with customizable messages that will populate messages visually or verbally.

LynxKey & LynxKeyPro: The Customizable Keyboard Panic Button

LynxKey and LynxKeyPro can send customizable silent alarms throughout a work campus with one or several two-key combinations panic button (F9/F11 — or any designated combination) that works when logged on, logged off, or locked.

Supervision and rapid emergency mass notification are critical for large organizations. Lynx’s panic button alarms are supervised and can check in with the system to ensure that they are online and operational. For added resiliency, our built-in test feature prompts an employee at a desktop computer to functionally test their panic button alarm — with application logging when an alert was activated, who was notified, what the message was, when it was received, and when it was successfully sent out through speakers, radios or other output devices.

Build a Custom Panic Alarm System For Your Business

With Lynx, silent panic button alarms can directly notify personnel who need to know and can provide user location and embed live video feeds. Not only can employees send an alert that there is an issue, but they also can receive verification their alert has reached its destination.

Situations may not arise to the point where a security response is required. Perhaps employees only need to notify their own staff in their department, a manager, or a de-escalation team. Multiple key combinations can allow for different responses, synchronizing Lynx and employees to make the right calls at the right time with our dynamic panic button solutions.

Lynx Saves Money With Efficient Testing and Automation

System administrators need to know if a computer based panic button cannot send out an alarm, and they need to know about it instantly to resolve it. Supervision allows admins to know that hundreds or thousands of panic button alarms are operational and be instantly notified with pop-ups, emails or text messages when an alarm is offline and where it is — with full reporting in the background of everything that has happened.

Manually testing panic button alarms can be a huge expense for an organization. Lynx saves resources by putting the power of testing in the hands of administrators who can define the frequency of tests and alert every employee with a keyboard panic button to regularly and functionally test it — with automated reports showing they have been tested. Employees also become trained on the alarm, how to use it, and that it is operational, which makes employees safer and constantly aware they have it.
