I installed a panic button system for a contractor with several panic buttons in key locations near surveillance camera monitors covering all doors, parking lots and hall ways ..all of the management staff have small remotes they can use to trigger alarm and 100dB klaxon ...we test it every two months...all UHF... The controller can be wired and used for a lot more applications. I don't think I would trust WiFi based system...but I am open to learning about them.
