Quick Tip: What is a Duress PIN?
Posted May 11th, 2011 by MelinaA Duress PIN is a four-digit code that sends a covert “distress signal” to our alarm monitoring center. Whenever you enter your secret “Duress PIN” into your keypad, the system quietly sends your SOS signal to our monitoring center. We won't call your home, as we usually would to verify an alarm. Instead immediately dispatch the police straight to your home. You can enter this code into your keypad anytime to alert us of danger or use it if an intruder is forcing you to turn off your alarm.
