BR33 Panic Button Configuration

Correctly setup New Alarms for your BR33 panic buttons

Panic buttons are discrete ways to raise an alarm in an emergency. You need to configure a response level and arm the partition containing panic buttons before they can trigger an alarm.

Configure a panic button

Configuring a panic button consists of three steps. You must configure all three steps to ensure your panic buttons always raise an alarm when pressed. Failure to configure all three steps correctly can result in panic buttons not raising alarms as expected.

Configure a response

1

In Verkada Command, go to All Products > Alarms.

2

Select the Alarm site that you want to configure.

3

On the left navigation, select Response > .

4

Select one of the following responses:

  • Notification only

  • Standard

  • Immediate Dispatch

5

Add a contact

6

Click Save.

Configure an Always Armed partition

1

Create a new partition and assign an alarm response.

2

Add all panic buttons to the partition.

3

From the Arm Method dropdown, select Always Armed.

  • Always Armed is enabled at a Partition level.

  • If an alarm is triggered from an Always Armed partition, resolving it will not disarm that partition.
