Talked with a customer today about designing an emergency push button for

multiple offices. They want to be ably to push a button and send a help signal to

a building across the street. The building are not connected in anyway. I was

thinking I could use the security panel to be able to accomplish this? Any

suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
 
Wire the pushbuttons up to one of these on the roof. Should attract some attention from across the street.:cool:

Are you talking burg alarm? If so then why not use a central station account and then they would call the call list.

Is the security panel located in the building across the street?
What's the current security system configuration/arrangement?
Are the buildings connected?

It is located in the same building. I will look into how the security system is configured. I havent visited the site yet, just talked over the phone but I want to have some ideas when I show up. The buildings are not connected in anyway.
 
If you're going to look at burg panels try NAPCO. They have wireless panic buttons that can work at 1000'. You can use the panic buttons or just wire a contact type button to a wireless transmitter. I have lots of these wireless working at 800+ feet without mounting the receivers on outside walls.
The burg panels will even show the installer signal strength so you can position the receivers in the best location.
 
Also -

Ge/Interlogix own their own robust patented wireless system with available "repeaters" to extend the wireless operating range well beyond most systems.
 
Add each panic as a input. You can buy small panic switches.
There are radios you can get to link the systems together, or if they are close enought each panic can be on a wireless TX/RX.

Sorry if I misunderstand but are you talking 3rd party radio like garage door receivers?
My only concern with using a wireless panic pendant would be that some are unsupervised. If they are unsupervised the user may not know that there maybe a problem with one of the pendants until they need it. It would depend on the diligence of the customer. Some people ignore testing such devices for years and are surprised when they do not function.

I have seen Linear wireless receivers used for panics where the output of the relay is sent to a zone input on an alarm panel but there is no supervision of battery voltage and whether they are still on site.

Can anyone recommend a good auto dialer brand? I have been searching around and there are plenty to choose from. This is for a commercial application.

Google [usp security dialer] they make different types and we use them all the time - the standard in dialers...
