Smart Button + Safe Alone App

Click for Safety

A single press checks you in. A press and hold triggers an emergency alarm to ProTELEC's 24/7 monitoring centre. The CheckMate Smart Button pairs with the Safe Alone app via Bluetooth — no phone interaction needed.

When reaching for a phone isn't an option.

Workers in healthcare, construction, and field service can't always stop to use a phone. Gloved hands, high-risk environments, and fast-paced situations make phone-based check-ins impractical and dangerous.

9,000+workers already on CheckMate
Workers in PPE can't use touchscreens
Phone check-ins require multiple taps and attention
High-risk moments demand hands-free safety

One button. Two actions. Zero phone interaction.

Single press completes a safety check-in. Press and hold triggers an emergency alarm with GPS coordinates — sent directly to ProTELEC's 24/7 monitoring centre through the Safe Alone app via Bluetooth.

Not a Call Centre. Not an Answering Service.

Every Smart Button emergency alarm goes directly to ProTELEC's Emergency Monitoring Centre in Winnipeg — the first facility in Canada to earn the Five Diamond designation from The Monitoring Association.

Five Diamond ULC-Certified
The highest standard in the industry
Fewer than 130 of 2,700+ monitoring stations in North America earn Five Diamond status. It requires annual re-qualification — not a one-time achievement. Every operator is individually certified by TMA and must recertify every 3 years.
Trained operators
100% operator certification — no exceptions
Every operator demonstrates proficiency in alarm confirmation, emergency communications with 911 centres, and knowledge of UL/FM codes and standards. The same team that handles commercial security and fire alarms for thousands of Canadian businesses.
24/7/365
Staffed every hour of every day since 1968
Family-owned, Winnipeg-based, never outsourced. In 2019, ProTELEC sold its entire residential security division to go all-in on lone worker and workplace safety. This is all they do.
Inspected annually
ULC-listed with mandatory annual audits
Underwriters Laboratories of Canada inspects the facility every year — verifying physical security, emergency power systems, computer infrastructure, and operator training standards. Random inspections by nationally recognized testing labs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Smart Button connect?

The Smart Button connects to the CheckMate Safe Alone app on your phone via Bluetooth. Once paired, the button communicates through the app — so you never need to take your phone out or interact with the screen.

What happens when I press the button?

A single press completes a safety check-in, confirming you're safe and resetting the check-in timer. Press and hold triggers an emergency alarm — your GPS coordinates are sent to ProTELEC's 24/7 monitoring centre and a trained operator responds immediately.

How long does the battery last?

The Smart Button is designed for up to three years of battery life with no charging required. When the battery runs low, simply replace it — no special tools or technician needed.

Do I still need the Safe Alone app?

Yes. The Smart Button is a companion device that pairs with the Safe Alone app via Bluetooth. The app handles the cellular connection, GPS transmission, and communication with the monitoring centre. The button gives you a hands-free way to interact with the app.

Can I wear it or mount it to a workstation?

Both. The Smart Button is small and discreet — clip it to your clothing, lanyard, vest, or hard hat. It can also be mounted to a workstation, vehicle, or fixed location. It works wherever you need hands-free access to safety check-ins and emergency alarms.

Is the Smart Button waterproof?
