Duress Alarm FAQs
While MePACS duress alarms use GPS technology, we do not track workers.
The GPS is only used to help identify the user's location once the alarm has been activated, or if there is genuine concern for a worker’s safety.
MePACS duress alarms are designed to provide protection across Australia, wherever there is reliable mobile network coverage.
As with all mobile devices, functionality may be affected in areas with limited mobile reception, such as some underground car parks or remote locations.
The duress alarms use GPS technology to help identify the user's location after the alarm is activated. In some densely populated areas, such as apartment blocks, caravan parks or large building complexes, GPS accuracy may be reduced. For added peace of mind, we recommend activating the alarm before entering to advise the MePACS team of your exact location, ensuring we have the most accurate information available if you need help.
Yes, team members can share MePACS duress alarm devices.
The way it works is simple:
At the start of a shift, the team member using the device just needs to check in — Activate the alarm, wait for MePACS to respond and provide your name and contact details.
And that's it.
No need to check out at the end of the shift. The next team member can simply check in when their shift begins.
