Jendy Physical Security Announces Strategic Partnership with Punch Rescue to Deliver the Next Generation of Emergency Response Technology

Jendy Physical Security Partners with Punch Rescue to Take Physical Security Beyond Cameras and Access Control with Verkada and other manufacturers.

Jendy Physical Security is proud to announce a new strategic partnership with Punch Rescue, bringing a powerful new layer of emergency communication, wearable panic button technology, real-time situational awareness, and intelligent emergency response to Jendy customers across the United States.

For years, Jendy Physical Security has helped organizations deploy advanced physical security technologies including Verkada security cameras, access control, alarms, intercoms, intrusion detection, visitor management, and related security infrastructure.

Our partnership with Punch Rescue takes that mission a major step further.

Modern security can no longer be focused only on recording what happened or controlling who can enter a building. High-risk organizations need technology capable of helping employees request assistance immediately, identify exactly where an emergency is occurring, provide responders with real-time information, and coordinate the systems already installed throughout the facility.

That is exactly where Punch Rescue changes the equation.

Punch Rescue has developed an emergency safety ecosystem combining wearable Rescue Cards, dedicated emergency communication infrastructure, indoor location awareness, base stations, real-time system monitoring, emergency workflows, and its new Rescue Intelligence platform. (Punch Rescue)

Combined with Jendy’s nationwide deployment capabilities and the power of the Verkada physical security platform, we believe this represents an important evolution in how organizations protect their employees, students, customers, visitors, and facilities.

What Is Punch Rescue?

Punch Rescue is much more than a traditional panic button.

The Punch Rescue platform is designed to create a reliable emergency communication infrastructure that can continue operating when traditional network connectivity becomes unreliable or unavailable.

The system’s Rescue Cards provide employees with a wearable panic button that can initiate an emergency without requiring someone to locate a wall-mounted button, unlock a smartphone, open an application, or make a telephone call.

Punch Rescue’s dedicated infrastructure includes Rescue Cards, Repeaters, Base Stations, alerting technology, indoor location capabilities, software dashboards, emergency workflows, and Rescue Intelligence. Its system uses dedicated LoRa mesh infrastructure rather than depending exclusively on an organization’s Wi-Fi or cellular network. (Punch Rescue)

For organizations where seconds matter, this creates an entirely different level of emergency preparedness.

Punch Rescue + Verkada: Turning a Security Event Into an Intelligent Response

One of the most exciting aspects of the Jendy and Punch Rescue partnership is the ability to integrate emergency response technology with the Verkada security ecosystem.

Verkada has transformed physical security by bringing video surveillance, access control, alarms, intercoms, sensors and other technologies into a cloud-managed environment. Verkada also continues to expand its APIs and third-party integration capabilities to allow physical security systems to participate in broader organizational workflows. (Verkada)

Punch Rescue’s Rescue Intelligence builds on this concept by connecting safety technologies that traditionally operate independently.

Instead of a panic button simply generating an alert, an integrated environment can begin bringing together the location of the emergency, nearby cameras, access-controlled doors, maps, responders, communications systems, and incident information.

Punch Rescue specifically identifies Verkada among the physical security platforms that Rescue Intelligence can connect with. (Punch Rescue)

Punch Rescue has also demonstrated a production workflow involving a wearable panic button and a Verkada camera system. In the demonstrated workflow, Rescue Intelligence retrieved imagery from the nearest Verkada camera, generated situational information from the camera image, and delivered that information into the emergency response workflow in approximately nine seconds. (Punch Rescue)

That is where the future of physical security becomes especially powerful.

Detect the emergency. Identify its location. Pull relevant security information. Notify the right people. Coordinate the response.

Instead of forcing staff to manually move between multiple security platforms during a crisis, technology can begin assembling the information responders need automatically.

A New Level of School Security for Jendy’s Education Clients

School security is one of the most important applications for this technology.

Jendy Physical Security works with school districts across the United States to modernize security cameras, access control, alarms, lockdown capabilities, communications, and other critical security infrastructure.

Adding Punch Rescue gives those districts another powerful option.

A teacher, administrator, counselor, office employee, maintenance worker, coach, or other authorized staff member can carry a Rescue Card throughout the school rather than relying entirely on a panic button installed at a fixed location.

During an emergency, the ability to quickly identify who requested help and where the incident is occurring can dramatically improve situational awareness.

Punch Rescue’s infrastructure is specifically designed for K-12 environments and offers room-level location awareness, device-health visibility, testing capabilities, cellular backup, dedicated mesh communications, and integration with emergency response workflows. The company also offers its platform through the TIPS cooperative purchasing contract, which can simplify procurement for eligible school districts. (Punch Rescue)

When combined with strategically placed Verkada cameras and Verkada access control, the security environment becomes significantly more intelligent.

Imagine a staff member activating a wearable emergency button and the security workflow immediately identifying the location, associating nearby cameras with the incident, notifying designated personnel, providing responders with additional context, and coordinating other building security systems.

That is a much different security strategy than simply installing more cameras.

It is about creating a connected emergency response ecosystem.

Advanced Duress Technology for Banks and Credit Unions

Banks and credit unions have relied on traditional silent alarm and hold-up buttons for decades.

The problem is that many of those systems provide relatively limited context.

An alarm may tell monitoring personnel that an emergency exists—but security personnel and first responders may still need to determine where the incident is occurring, what is happening, and which cameras they should be viewing.

Punch Rescue combined with Jendy’s Verkada expertise creates new possibilities for financial institutions.

Potential applications include:

Teller and employee duress alerts
Wearable panic buttons for managers and staff
Emergency activation from areas without fixed buttons
Real-time identification of an incident location
Integration with nearby security camera information
Emergency notifications to designated personnel
Security workflows for robberies, threats, medical emergencies, and workplace violence
Multi-branch security standardization

For credit unions and banking organizations operating dozens or hundreds of branches, Jendy can design and deploy a standardized architecture across the enterprise.

Instead of every branch having a different security configuration, organizations can establish a repeatable national standard combining Verkada video security, access control, intrusion detection, intercoms, and Punch Rescue emergency response technology.

A Powerful Additional Layer of Casino Security

Few environments have physical security requirements as demanding as casinos.

Casinos must protect employees, guests, gaming operations, cash-handling areas, entrances, offices, parking environments, back-of-house operations, and other sensitive areas—often 24 hours a day.

Jendy Physical Security has significant experience deploying security infrastructure within gaming environments, making Punch Rescue a natural addition to the technologies we can provide.

Wearable duress and emergency response technology can offer an additional layer of protection for personnel working in areas such as:

Cash cages
Count rooms
Gaming floors
Security operations
Hotel operations
Administrative areas
Employee entrances
Parking facilities
Food and beverage operations
High-limit gaming areas

A security camera is incredibly valuable when an incident occurs.

But a camera does not replace the employee’s ability to instantly request assistance.

By combining Verkada video security with Punch Rescue emergency technology, organizations can create an environment where human-generated emergency alerts and physical security intelligence work together.

Built for High-Risk Organizations

The Jendy and Punch Rescue partnership extends well beyond schools, financial institutions, and casinos.

Organizations responsible for employees working alone, handling cash, interacting with the public, protecting vulnerable populations, or operating in elevated-risk environments can benefit from stronger emergency communication technology.

Potential applications include:

Healthcare facilities
Provide nurses, administrators, reception personnel, and other employees with accessible emergency notification capabilities.

Government and municipal facilities
Add employee duress capabilities to administrative buildings, public service counters, court facilities, and other government environments.

Corporate offices
Create emergency workflows for workplace violence, medical emergencies, suspicious individuals, or other critical situations.

Retail environments
Provide employees with another layer of protection during robberies, threats, confrontations, or medical emergencies.

Hotels and hospitality organizations
Extend emergency communication capabilities to front desk personnel, housekeeping employees, security personnel, and staff working throughout large properties.

Warehouses and distribution centers
Provide mobile workers with an emergency communication tool even when they are hundreds of feet away from a traditional phone or fixed panic button.

The common requirement across all of these environments is simple:

When someone needs help, security technology needs to respond immediately.

Real-Time Visibility Into Emergency Infrastructure

Another major advantage of Punch Rescue is its focus on the health of the emergency system itself.

Organizations should not discover during an actual emergency that a panic button is offline, a battery has failed, or a device is not communicating correctly.

Punch Rescue provides administrators with visibility into the status of the emergency infrastructure and supports device testing and monitoring from its management platform. (Punch Rescue)

For enterprise organizations, this becomes especially important.

A security director responsible for dozens or hundreds of locations needs to know more than whether equipment was installed.

They need to know:

Is the system ready right now?

That philosophy aligns directly with Jendy Physical Security’s approach to enterprise security—deploying standardized technology that can be managed, validated, supported, and scaled across multiple facilities.

Rescue Intelligence Represents the Next Evolution of Physical Security

The physical security industry has traditionally consisted of separate systems.

One platform manages cameras.

Another manages doors.

Another manages alarms.

Another manages communications.

Another handles panic buttons.

During an emergency, people are expected to assemble all of that information manually.

Rescue Intelligence is designed to change that model.

Punch Rescue describes Rescue Intelligence as an intelligent layer connecting cameras, doors, phones, sensors, panic buttons and other building systems so that emergency information can be coordinated through a common workflow while keeping human teams in control of critical decisions. (Punch Rescue)

For Jendy customers already investing in Verkada technology, this represents an especially exciting opportunity.

The next generation of security is not simply another camera with higher resolution.

It is not simply another access control reader.

And it is not simply another panic button.

The next generation of security is making those technologies work together when an emergency actually happens.

One Security Partner. One Integrated Strategy. Nationwide Deployment.

Technology alone does not create a successful security program.

It must be properly designed, installed, configured, integrated, tested, documented, and supported.

That is where Jendy Physical Security comes in.

As a national physical security integrator, Jendy can help customers evaluate their existing security infrastructure and develop a complete strategy incorporating technologies such as:

Punch Rescue wearable panic buttons
Punch Rescue emergency communication infrastructure
Rescue Intelligence
Verkada security cameras
Verkada access control
Verkada alarms
Verkada intercom systems
Emergency lockdown systems
Structured cabling
Network infrastructure
Door hardware
Emergency notification systems
Centralized enterprise security management

For organizations with multiple locations, Jendy can also develop standardized deployment models that allow the same security technology and installation methodology to be replicated across facilities throughout the United States.

The Future of Physical Security Is Proactive, Connected and Intelligent

Security systems should do more than provide evidence after an incident.

They should help organizations recognize emergencies faster, communicate faster, understand what is happening faster, and respond more effectively.

The partnership between Jendy Physical Security and Punch Rescue brings together nationwide security deployment expertise, wearable emergency technology, dedicated emergency communications infrastructure, intelligent physical-security orchestration, and integration with platforms such as Verkada.

For Jendy’s school districts, banks, credit unions, casinos, government organizations, healthcare facilities, enterprise customers, and other high-risk clients, this creates an opportunity to add an entirely new level of protection.

Cameras provide visibility.
Access control protects the perimeter.
Panic buttons give people a voice.
Intelligent integration brings everything together.

Jendy Physical Security is excited to bring Punch Rescue technology to customers nationwide and help organizations build security systems designed not simply to document emergencies—but to respond to them.
