Inovonics has introduced the EN2242 Duress Card, a new wireless panic device aimed at enhancing life safety and security applications.
The Duress Card is designed to be both discreet and comfortable for users, incorporating a range of enhanced features alongside Inovonics' established wireless technology.
Features and functionality
The Duress Card is applicable in diverse settings, including education, healthcare, corporate, industrial, retail, and hospitality environments.
It enables users to quickly alert responders during incidents of potential harm through its advanced notification capabilities. Users can trigger up to three distinct alarm states, ensuring that responders can assess and address situations promptly and effectively.
User-centric design
The Duress Card offers location-tracking capabilities via cloud-based Advanced Location services
The compact design includes LED indicators and haptic feedback to notify wearers silently when an alarm is activated. This ensures users receive confirmation without alerting others.
Furthermore, Inovonics EchoStream® technology underpins the device's performance, ensuring reliable multi-channel wireless transmission over long distances within complex construction environments.
Advanced location services
When integrated with compatible security systems, the Duress Card offers location-tracking capabilities via cloud-based Advanced Location services.
This integration allows first responders to accurately locate where an event is unfolding. Additionally, the device's waterproof casing and long-life sealed battery enhance its suitability for various environments, ensuring durability and reliability.
Availability and deployment
Available for both new installations and upgrades to existing systems, the Duress Card is provided in packs of five, facilitating efficient distribution in settings such as schools, corporate sectors, or other large facilities.
Glenn Longley, Chief Product Officer at Inovonics, commented, "Our new Duress Card provides the best in wireless technology and user comfort, moving beyond bulky panic buttons to provide a sleek, lightweight solution that provides higher levels of performance. It’s a wearable panic solution that users across all vertical applications will be comfortable wearing throughout the entire course of their workday."
