Your team is alone more than you think.
Leasing agents tour vacant units with people they've just met. Maintenance walks the property after dark. Someone is always the last one on site. In those moments, the nearest help is whatever they can reach in the few seconds they have.
It only takes one incident to change how safe your team feels coming to work — and whether they stay.
"Can't they just use their phone?"
In an emergency, a phone is the slowest thing in the room. It has to be found, unlocked, opened to the dialer, and dialed — and it's the first thing an attacker reaches for. By the FCC's count, roughly one in three robberies nationwide involves the theft of a phone. It also gets left at the front desk, runs down its battery, or stays in a pocket because pulling it out feels like an overreaction.
PanicTap does one thing. One press connects to 911 in seconds — no screen, no app, no number to dial. It rides on the keychain, so it's already in hand on every tour and every walk. And because it looks like a key fob, reaching for it never feels like making a scene.

What happens when you press it
One press does two things at once — PanicTap calls 911 and texts your entire on-site team in the same moment. Every alert carries the device's live location, so help comes from the outside and from the people right down the hall.

"We've used Apartment Guardian for a couple of years now. You hope no one ever has to use the device, but we had an instance where it was utilized — it worked as designed and local emergency personnel responded."
"Our staff is now equipped with Apartment Guardian. Thank you! I hope we never need it though."

Reach out with any questions
Questions we get asked
The practical details — battery, rollout, contracts, and what happens if someone presses it by mistake.
How long does the battery last?
Two to three weeks on a single charge.
What is the installation process?
There isn’t one. The device arrives ready to use — nothing to wire, mount, or configure at the property. The only upkeep is charging it every two to three weeks.
Can we move the device between people or properties?
Yes. The device isn’t tied to any physical location, so it goes wherever your employee goes — between buildings, between properties, or to a new team member.
What if someone activates it by accident?
Accidental activations are rare, because the button has to be held down rather than tapped. If it does happen, just tell the 911 dispatcher it was an accident.
How do I know the device is working?
You can schedule a live test with our customer support team at any time. It’s worth doing whenever a new team member starts carrying one.
Is there a warranty?
If a device stops working for any reason, we replace it free of charge for the lifetime of your account. Lost or damaged devices carry a $100 replacement fee.
How long is a contract?
Contracts typically run one year, then continue month to month after the term ends. Individual properties can be cancelled with no penalty if the property is sold.
How can I pay?
Payment can be handled property by property or consolidated at the corporate level. We’re set up on all the major invoicing and vendor compliance platforms.
