PC Based Panic Alarm

How does the button work? What does it do?

A complete talk-through of the Little Green Button in action


The Little Green Button lives on your computer screen, floating over your other programs. The button can be moved and re-sized to suit your display preferences.

To request assistance, simply double click on the Little Green Button (this request can be cancelled by a second double click).

Once the alarm is activated, all computers on the network (with the Little Green Button running) display an alert. This message tells everybody the location of the problem. When someone clicks 'respond' the alarm message changes to include the location of the responding user.

Usually the first responder is the person next door, they are often the most relevant to deal with the situation.

The Little Green Button software has many advantages over traditional hard-wired panic alarm systems:

  • It is far cheaper - utilizing your computers and network

  • Easy and quick to install - the software is downloaded from our website

  • Little Green Button is unique in its subtlety. The alarm can be raised without an assailant realising it.

  • An alert is instantly available on all computers generating a very rapid initial response.

  • A rapid response prevents the escalation of the incident.

  • Changing room layout or use is simple, just move the PC. (it moves with your computers)

  • Where a mouse click is inappropriate, physical push buttons and panic strips are available to compliment our software.
