Panic Buttons
A panic button lets staff or residents raise an alarm silently or audibly with one press during a hold-up, threat or medical emergency. This category has two Dahua models: the RC978 wired panic button and the ARD821-W2 wireless panic button.

Choosing and placing a panic button
A panic button is only useful if it can be reached quickly and is not pressed by accident.
- Wired or wireless: the RC978 connects to a 24-hour zone on a wired panel, while the ARD821-W2 pairs with a Dahua wireless hub and can be moved without cabling.
- Placement: fit buttons under cash counters, at reception, in manager cabins and beside the beds of elderly residents, within reach but out of sight.
- Silent or audible: the response is set at the panel. A silent alarm alerts the owner or guard without warning the intruder, while an audible one scares them off.
- Accidental presses: check whether the button needs a firm press, a cover or a reset key, especially in busy areas.
For Ajax systems, the Button and DoubleButton in the keypads and remotes range serve the same purpose. Any panic device needs a compatible alarm control panel.
