Wearable Panic Button, 150m range

ZYCOO IPS-K-BT1 BLE Wearable Panic Button

The ZYCOO IPS-K-BT1 is a neck-worn Bluetooth Low Energy button for staff duress and panic alerts. A staff member presses the large red button and the alert is sent to compatible BLE-enabled equipment, such as the ZYCOO IPS-M1-D1W multi-info speaker, which responds with audio, a message on screen and a strobe. It is IP66 rated, comes with a lanyard, and has a card slot so it can double as an ID badge holder.

It suits schools, hospitals and nursing homes, offices and events, where staff need a way to call for help without finding a phone or reaching a wall button.

A panic button people will actually wear

Staff duress devices only work if they are on the person when something happens. The IPS-K-BT1 is a flat 8.5mm badge on a lanyard, and it holds a standard CR80 ID card, so it can replace the badge a person already wears. The button is a single soft rubber button, large enough to find by feel and press under stress. A red LED and a buzzer confirm that the button has been pressed.

Range and battery

• BLE 5.0: transmission range up to 150m in open areas.
• Battery: 800mAh Li-Mn cell with a typical life of 3 years on default settings.
• Real-world range: walls, metal and other radio traffic reduce range, and volume settings and usage affect battery life. Test coverage on site before relying on it.

Card holder, NFC and access

The side slot takes a standard CR80 card. The button also supports NFC, which can be used to pass data to access control systems. That means one device can serve as ID badge, access credential and panic button. For schools and offices it can also support attendance, visitor flow management and temporary ID badges for events.

Built for harsh conditions

The polycarbonate case is IP66 rated against dust and water jets, and operates from -20°C to +60°C. It suits kitchens, wards, workshops and outdoor duties where a standard badge holder would not last. The housing is white with a red button.

Works with ZYCOO speakers

The IPS-M1-D1W multi-info speaker supports wearable BLE smart buttons. When the button is pressed, the speaker can respond with coordinated audio and visual alerts. The alert can also be tied into the wider system, for example with ONVIF-linked cameras or the ZYCOO IP Audio Center.
