Personal safety is a priority for everyone, especially for women navigating busy streets or kids exploring new places.

As a trusted, A+ BBB-rated security provider, Security Consultant Pros brings you this innovative tool to keep you and your loved ones safe anywhere. Learn how it works and why it’s a game-changer for modern safety.

Why the Alarm.com Safety Button Matters:

Whether you’re a woman walking to your car after work, a teenager heading home from school, or anyone feeling uneasy, the Alarm.com Safety Button is your mobile lifeline. Hold the button, release it, and you have 10 seconds to cancel with a PIN. If uncanceled, trained operators receive your name, phone number, and exact GPS coordinates, reaching out via text or call. No response? Emergency services head to your location. This feature is especially valuable for women and kids, offering discreet, fast help in situations where speaking aloud might not be safe or possible.

Key Benefits:

• Empowers Women: Provides confidence for solo commutes, late-night walks, or travel with silent text alerts and precise location sharing.
• Protects Kids: Gives teens or younger children a simple way to summon help in unfamiliar or risky situations, like getting lost or feeling followed.
• Instant Access: Connects to emergency services without dialing 911, ideal for urgent moments.
• No Hardware Needed: Runs on the Alarm.com app (version 5.3.1+), making it accessible on your smartphone.

How to Set Up the Safety Button:

Activating the Safety Button is straightforward, following Alarm.com’s clear process. Security Consultant Pros ensures your account is ready. Here’s how:

1. Log into the Alarm.com app on your Android or iOS device (version 5.3.1 or later).
2. In Set up Safety Button, tap Get Started.
3. Tap Continue.
4. Enter your phone number, then tap Next.
5. Enter the 6-digit verification code sent via text, then tap Verify.
6. Input your first and last name.
7. Enable location sharing for accurate emergency response. If disabled, tap Ok, then Allow while using the App.

10. Practice pressing and holding the Hold until safe button, releasing when instructed.

How to Use the Safety Button:

When safety feels uncertain—whether a woman sensing unease on a quiet street or a kid needing help at a crowded event—the Safety Button acts fast:

1. Log into the Alarm.com app.
2. Tap Safety Button.
3. Press and hold the button.
4. If safe, enter your 4-digit PIN within 10 seconds at the Enter PIN if safe prompt to cancel.
5. If not canceled, operators receive your details and contact you via SMS or call to confirm your need.
6. Without a response or cancellation, responders are dispatched to your last known GPS location.

Cancellation: Tap I don’t need help and enter your PIN to stop the alert, or reply to the operator’s text/call if contacted.

Pricing and Subscription:

The Safety Button requires an In-App Safety Button service package add-on ($5 a month per login), with a license per user login. Contact Us and we’ll customize your plan to include this vital feature.

Enhance Your Safety:

• Safety Button Notes: Add context—like noting a late-night work shift or a kid’s after-school route—to help operators and responders. Caution: Notes are shared only during an alert and aren’t a substitute for emergency action.
• Emergency Contacts: List contacts in your profile. Verified events prompt dispatch to share them with 911 operators, though police decide on contact.

Important Details:

• Compliments 911: Offers text alerts and precise GPS, enhancing safety for women and kids in discreet scenarios, but isn’t a 911 replacement.
• U.S. Only: Functions solely within the United States.
• Signal Loss: If your phone loses signal post-alert, the last known location is sent. Cancel via app, text, or call if signal returns.
• Access Requirements: Needs Master Control, Full Control, or Custom logins with Manage Safety Button permission and available licenses.
• Device Needs: Android/iOS 5.3.1+, Always location permission, and precise location enabled.

If your security system’s feeling a little outdated—or you’ve been meaning to get one that actually works for you (or at all)—the Qolsys IQ 4 with PowerG might just be the answer. This isn’t your average alarm panel. It’s a sleek, powerful setup that brings top-notch protection and smart home perks together in one package. Here’s why switching to this system could be the best move you make for your home or business.

What’s So Special About the Qolsys IQ 4?

Picture this: a crisp 7-inch touchscreen that’s as easy on the eyes as it is to use, paired with PowerG wireless tech that’s tough to beat. The IQ 4 isn’t just about keeping intruders out—it’s about giving you control and confidence. With a built-in camera, QuadSound speakers, and a brain that ties everything together, it’s like having a security guard and a smart home assistant rolled into one. And with PowerG? It takes perimeter protection to another level:

• • Reach That Goes the Distance: PowerG sensors stretch up to 4,000 feet—way beyond what most systems can handle. Got a big yard or a detached garage? No problem, it’s all covered.
  • Locked-Down Security: With two-way encryption that’s practically unbreakable, your system stays safe from meddling, whether it’s hackers or signal glitches.
  • Long-Lasting Power: These sensors sip battery life instead of guzzling it, so you’re not constantly scrambling for replacements.
  • Sound That Packs a Punch: Four speakers mean alerts you can’t miss—and you can even play your favorite tunes through Bluetooth.

Toss in cellular primary connection with Wi-Fi backup, plus the magic of Alarm.com integration, and you’ve got a system that’s as dependable as it is clever. Both paired with an award-winning 5 Diamond Monitoring Company, UCC Monitoring. UCC has one of the FASTEST response times in the industry.

Still wondering if it’s worth the upgrade? Here’s why you should make the switch to the Qolsys IQ 4:

It’s Built for What’s Next
Old systems can feel like relics—spotty connections, no app access, constant headaches. The IQ 4 is ready for today’s challenges and tomorrow’s surprises, with updates that keep it sharp and PowerG tech that’s ahead of the pack.

Works With What You’ve Got
Already have sensors from brands like DSC or Honeywell? The IQ 4 comes in flavors that play nice with them, letting you ease into PowerG without starting from scratch. If you are already hardwired, you can use a PowerG Takeover Module to utilize existing working non-lifesafety sensors.

No Mess, No Fuss
Forget tearing up walls for wires. PowerG gives you hardwired reliability with a wireless setup that’s clean and quick—perfect whether you’re sprucing up an older place or settling into a new one.

Your Life, Your Control—with Alarm.com
The IQ 4 hooks up with Alarm.com, putting you in the driver’s seat no matter where you are. Arm it on your way out with a tap on your phone, peek at the built-in camera while you’re grabbing coffee, or tweak the thermostat from bed. Forgot to lock up? Alarm.com’s got your back with instant alerts and the power to fix it remotely. Add an extra touchscreen with the IQ Remote PowerG, and you’ve got control right where you need it—at home, away, or in multiple rooms.

Peace of Mind That Feels Real
Alarm.com lets you see who’s there and chat through the app. Pair that with PowerG’s rock-solid sensors, and you’ve got coverage that doesn’t quit—even in those hard-to-reach spots. Oh, and those smart notifications? They’ll ping you the second something’s up, so you’re never left wondering.

Who Needs This in Their Life?

• • Anyone With an Aging System: If your current setup’s stuck in the past—think false alarms or no smartphone tie-in—it’s time for a refresh. The IQ 4 makes security feel effortless.
  • Big Property Owners: That 4,000-foot range means nothing’s out of reach, from your front porch to the back shed.
  • Smart Home Fans: Love gadgets? With Alarm.com, you can sync your lights, locks, thermostat, and more into one smooth system. Imagine dimming the lights, locking the doors, and setting the alarm—all with one command from your couch or across town.

Why Alarm.com Takes It Up a Notch

The Alarm.com connection isn’t just a bonus—it’s a game-changer. It’s like having eyes and ears on your place 24/7. You’ll get real-time updates if a door’s opened, a window’s messed with, or even if the kids sneak in late. Plus, it ties your IQ 4 into a whole smart home ecosystem—think unlocking the door for a delivery guy while you’re at work, or setting “away” scenes that make it look like you’re home when you’re not. It’s security that doesn’t just sit there—it works with you.
