What is the Panic Button?
Instant Emergency Communication
The ClearlyIP Panic Button is a powerful safety feature designed to provide immediate help at the press of a button. Integrated directly into ClearlyIP Phones, and available as an optional USB Panic Button that connects to ClearlyIP VoIP phones, it allows staff to discreetly trigger pre-programmed emergency alerts such as lockdowns, overhead paging, SMS, or email notifications.
Fully compatible with Clearly Cloud, ComXchange, TangoPBX®, and FreePBX® based systems, the ClearlyIP Panic Button ensures critical messages reach the right people instantly, keeping organizations prepared, compliant, and secure when it matters most.
Why Do Organizations Need the ClearlyIP Panic Button?

Peace of Mind When Help is Only a Button Press Away
This function can be used by anyone in the room that has been instructed in its use. If a faculty member is injured, or just cannot leave the room for safety reasons, this button can bring help where it is needed. Sometimes the difference in lives all comes down to time and information. Where is the threat, and how fast can help get there?
The Perfect Solution for Alyssa’s Law
“Alyssa’s Law”—named after Alyssa Alhadeff, a victim of the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas School tragedy—requires public schools, including charter schools, to have silent panic alert systems linked directly to first responders and law enforcement agencies.
Organizations That Benefit from ClearlyIP’s Panic Button
The ClearlyIP Panic Button enhances safety and awareness across a wide range of environments.

K-12 and Higher Education
The ClearlyIP Panic Button allows staff to discreetly trigger emergency alerts that instantly notify administrators, security teams, or first responders. In K-12 schools, it can support lockdowns, overhead paging, or direct alerts when a classroom is in danger. On college campuses, it helps Public Safety quickly identify the source of an emergency ensuring critical information reaches responders without delay.
Government & Municipal
Courthouses often have dozens of courtrooms, and municipalities may house many departments across large buildings. The ClearlyIP Panic Button allows staff in any location to instantly trigger alerts that notify security teams, administrators, or first responders. Alerts can be customized by room, floor, or department, ensuring the right groups are reached immediately and enabling a faster, more coordinated emergency response.
Hospitality
Hospitality properties often have hundreds of rooms and large public areas where emergencies may arise. The ClearlyIP Panic Button enables staff to quickly send alerts to specific areas or broadcast property-wide notifications, giving management and emergency services the timely information they need to coordinate an effective response and keep guests and staff safe.
Healthcare
Healthcare facilities rely on clear and rapid communication during emergencies. The Panic Button allows nurse stations, reception, and patient care areas to discreetly trigger targeted alerts or facility-wide notifications. These alerts reach administrators and first responders instantly, helping ensure patients and staff remain safe and accounted for in critical situations.
Retail
Retail stores and shopping centers often span multiple service counters, back offices, and storage areas. The ClearlyIP Panic Button allows managers and staff to instantly trigger alerts across all locations, ensuring security teams and responders are notified immediately and can act quickly to protect employees and customers.
Corporate & Industrial
Large office buildings and industrial facilities often have critical points like reception areas, HR offices, control rooms, and guard stations.

Available USB Panic Button Add-on
The USB Panic Button connects to any ClearlyIP Phone that has a USB port and is placed in an easily accessible location such as under the desk or mounted to the wall.
