  • Panic switches are generic. Something like this is what I use. They are like a lockable 'light switch' - on and off positions, nothing fancy. You have a key to reset the switch [still have to enter the code in alarm if activated]. Pay no more than a fiver.

    Just google 'burglar alarm switch' - they are white with red button.

    Simple to fit for an alarm/electrician. Single cable taken from panel to switch. I have one in my bedroom and my panel is a Veritas.

    My advice would be to pop into a local electrical supplies shop and ask if they sell them and if they can recommend anyone.

    Couple hours max to route cable and wire up I would imagine.

    Good luck.
