Desktop Panic Button → Gallagher
A small, well-behaved Windows agent that bridges desktop or USB panic hardware into Command Centre alarms. Quietly running at thousands of desks for years.
Button Client is a long-standing integration deployed across courthouse, social-services, and government-office environments. It listens for a button event (USB, IP, or keyboard combo), authenticates against Gallagher Command Centre, and raises the configured alarm. MSI-packaged for endpoint management, with per-user mapping and tamper logging.
