Duress was designed to allow users to have 24/7 monitored protection in their pocket, and the response has been overwhelming. Monitored security systems are traditionally a costly exercise, involving CCTV cameras, servers, maintenance, and upkeep. Duress is an Australian revolution for school security, offering you thousands of virtual mobile emergency buttons, and then putting them in all of your staff and students pockets.
While students arrive at school at around 8:30am and are gone again by 3:30pm, the educational staff are not quite so lucky. Teachers are often in their classrooms well before and after hours preparing work, marking, or even holding meetings with parents. Unfortunately, as Australian Guidance note on Working Alone points out, it is often contact with other people that creates the biggest risk.
The benefits of a lone worker safety solution for students is very much a secondary effect. Teachers that are provided with Duress can instantly alert the Operations Centre with live video, audio and GPS position from their phone for emergencies for students, such as medical issues or accidents on site.
