The ESI Silent Alarm Call Button™ solution provides precisely that — an integrated, VoIP-powered silent emergency alerting system designed to accelerate response times and protect students, teachers, and staff. For districts working to meet Alyssa’s Law requirements, ESI delivers a compliant silent alarm button that can directly notify law enforcement, activate silent monitoring, and escalate incidents instantly. These alarms may operate with one-way monitoring, or completely silent operation depending on state specifications.
Key Solution Benefits
Silent Protection: Discreet notifications prevent escalation during critical incidents.
Alyssa’s Law–Ready: Supports Silent Panic Alert Technology (SPAT) requirements.
Cloud-Based & Scalable: Easily deployed across single buildings or multi-campus environments.
Accurate Location Delivery: Enhanced 911 ensures responders know exactly where help is needed.
Why Schools Need This Technology Now
School emergencies unfold in seconds, not minutes. Alyssa’s Law mandates the installation of Silent Panic Alert Technology (SPAT) to ensure schools can immediately and discreetly notify 911 or designated authorities in a crisis. The silent alert must not be audible within the school, allowing officers to listen in without alerting the threat. Many states have already passed Alyssa’s Law, and while requirements vary from state to state, it is essential for districts to implement flexible, compliant solutions that integrate cleanly with their existing emergency action plans. ESI’s Cloud solution supports virtually all SIP alerting devices, enabling districts to deploy a scalable, future-proof safety framework.
When a silent alarm button is pressed, the ESI eCloud PBX™ solution can simultaneously trigger:
Direct Emergency Alerts to Law Enforcement: Silent alarms immediately contact 911 or designated security teams, meeting Alyssa’s Law requirements. Depending on configuration, emergency personnel can listen in to the situation without creating audible alerts inside the school.
Real-Time Call Notifications to Safety Teams: Designated administrators, School Resource Officers (SROs), or other emergency teams can automatically receive an audio or video call as soon as an alert is triggered, giving them immediate situational awareness.
Seamless Compliance with E911, Kari’s Law, and Ray Baum’s Act: All emergency calls automatically transmit precise location details to ensure responders know exactly where to go.
A Smarter Way to Protect Your School Community
The ESI Silent Alarm Call Button solution empowers schools with fast, silent, and reliable emergency communication, helping districts meet compliance requirements and improve real-world outcomes during critical incidents. Whether your goal is Alyssa’s Law compliance, grant-aligned improvements under the Safer Schools Act, or simply a stronger, safer campus, ESI provides the tools and support to protect what matters most.
Beyond K-12: Safety for Any High-Risk Public Environment
While the ESI Silent Alarm Call Button solution is purpose-built to support K-12 safety initiatives and Alyssa’s Law compliance, its value extends well beyond schools. Financial institutions, houses of worship, healthcare clinics, and other public-facing organizations face similar risks and response-time challenges. In environments such as banks and churches, the ability to discreetly summon help without escalating a situation is critical. The Silent Alarm Button delivers silent or monitored alerts, instant notification to local authorities, and coordinated on-site responses — without drawing attention or creating panic. Built on flexible SIP-based VoIP technology, the solution adapts easily to different layouts, staffing models, and security policies, making it an ideal safety platform wherever rapid, reliable emergency communication is essential.
