Need a man-down alarm?

Is a man-down alarm the right solution for me?

A man-down alarm can provide a solution in many situations. For example, consider employees who regularly work alone. Employees who work alone are at (greater) risk of an industrial accident. In an emergency, there are no colleagues nearby who can help. They must therefore be able to raise the alarm and an automatic alarm must be sent if the employee is no longer able to do so himself. (man down). In many sectors, employees regularly work alone. Consider, for example: laboratory technicians who work alone in a laboratory with hazardous substances; healthcare workers who work in institutions or on an outpatient basis; in the event of breakdowns and maintenance where employees are on picket or breakdown shifts; in industry where shift work is practiced; guards or security guards; cleaners and window cleaners; bailiffs; shopkeepers; overtime; homework.

I only want man-down where or when necessary, is that possible?

X-Guard only sends an automatic man-down alarm call where necessary.
We can ensure that your man-down protection (the Risk button) is automatically activated at locations and times where and when you are not allowed to work alone: ​​all you have to do is carry the Alarm app with you - we will do the rest. False alarms are also prevented by this method of automatic man-down. We think it is important that our solution offers comfort as well as safety.

How do I enable man-down in the Alarm app?

Via the Risk button on the home screen. When your own security is set to “Risk”, the app activates the motion sensor of the mobile phone. This acts as a kind of pedometer. If there has been insufficient movement for two minutes (this time period can be adjusted), the app automatically creates a pre-alarm for 30 seconds. A message will appear on the screen and the device will vibrate and beep. The pre-alarm is canceled by moving the device briefly. If the pre-alarm is not canceled in time, an alarm call is automatically sent.

Help is often closer than you think.

X-Guard relies on the power of your own network. When you raise an alarm, your colleague is often closer than a national emergency service. In many cases, rapid intervention from a colleague or trained emergency response officer is more desirable than escalation to a national emergency service, purely because they can arrive on the scene faster.

Depending on your situation, help can be with you within seconds.

Can the man-down alarm switch automatically based on location?

You can also determine and activate yourself where you need (extra) security. You can do this using the "Automatic switching" function in the Alarm app. By adding certain addresses to the app, you can indicate per address whether your “Own security” in the app should be ''Off'', ''On'' or 'Risk''. The moment you approach and leave the added address, the app will automatically switch to the correct mode.
