Duress is now the #1 Protection app in Australia. It is the worlds first protection service that notifies Police. In an emergency, Duress notifies the Police, streams live video and tracks your location all in seconds, without the need to call 000. In an emergency, such as an assault, an attack or home invasion, there is not enough time to call 000. Duress lets you notify the Police and stream video in seconds, meaning you don't need to call 000 and explain who you are, where you are, or what is happening. Duress does all of this for you. Duress has a 24/7 Operations Centre in Australia, and as soon as you declare an emergency we notify the Police for you. You tap a button, we notify Police. As soon as you declare an emergency, the Operations Centre can see who you are, what is happening, and where you are. We then connect directly to Police in seconds, notifying them of where you are and what is happening. The Operations centre can also send the live video and location data through to the Police if needed. More information - www.duress.com.
