An alarm apparatus includes a mobile terminal, a plurality of streetlamps, a server, and a management center. The mobile terminal includes a microprocessor, a display screen, a first GPS positioning module, a battery, an emergency call button, a first GPRS communication module, a first wireless communication module, a first camera, a loudspeaker, and a microphone. The streetlamp includes a central processor, a power supply, a second camera, a mobile device, a second GPS positioning module, a second wireless communication module, and a second GPRS communication module. The caller sends a distress signal to the streetlamp. The streetlamp is automatically illuminated and the direction of the camera is adjusted to the escape direction of the suspect. All streetlamps located on the escape route of the suspect are turned on to capture the escape route of the suspect. The streetlamp sends the information to the management center by means of the server.

Disclosed are devices, systems, methods, and media for efficient emergency calling using digital devices. In some embodiments, a user is able to make an emergency call by a one-touch or dual-touch process. An authentication process may reduce inadvertent and unauthorized emergency calling. Persistent emergency buttons are also disclosed that may be used for calling emergency in different states of the device.

A system for facilitating a response to an event notifying signal is disclosed herein. The system comprises: a network monitoring module configured for monitoring signals received over a data network for a presence of one or more event notifying signals indicative of a relevant incident within a geographic area; and an assessment module configured for determining if the relevant incident could impact any persons or property of an enterprise or organization within the geographic area and identifying a first group of people of the enterprise or organization who could be impacted by the relevant incident. The system further comprising the resource response module configured for communicating a response to a computing device associated with each person of the first group of people, where the response provides indication of the relevant incident.
