# What safety sensors does Argus offer?
## Argus offers a Panic/SOS Button, a Rollover Sensor and an Impact Sensor, each sending an alert to chosen recipients when triggered.
Argus offers three in-vehicle safety devices you can add to your fleet: a Panic/SOS Button, a Rollover Sensor, and an Impact Sensor. Each sends an alert to your chosen recipients when triggered, so your team is supported in a hazardous situation.
**Also known as / customers also ask:** panic button, SOS button, rollover sensor, impact sensor, crash alert, safety hardware, health and safety devices
## What does the Panic Button do?
A one-press in-vehicle button that sends an instant alert to the recipients you choose, including the exact location on a map where it was pressed. You can set different levels of assistance — Help needed, or SOS emergency — and send alerts to multiple recipients, including a 24/7 call centre where set up. The button stays installed in the vehicle, always charged and ready.
## What does the Rollover Sensor do?
It measures pitch and roll angles and sends an automatic safety alert if an asset rolls while out in the field — no action from the driver is needed. It monitors both side and front/back rollovers, is built in rugged, dustproof casing, and works across cars, utes, off-road vehicles, trucks and heavy equipment (9 to 36 volts).
## What does the Impact Sensor do?
It detects any impact greater than 4.5Gs — for example a crash, rollover, or being hit by another vehicle — and sends an emergency alert via the app or email. Black Box Records capture data at a much higher rate for a few seconds either side of the impact, so you can see more detail about what happened. This is not a crash sensor and does not replace contacting emergency services in a serious crash or medical emergency — do not rely on it as a life-saving device.
## Who uses these devices, and when?
Fleets with staff working offsite, in remote areas, or in higher-risk conditions, who want an alert path if something goes wrong. All three can help meet health and safety obligations for staff working alone or in hazardous situations.
## What do I need to use them?
The hardware is fitted to the vehicle. The Impact Sensor is often already installed and just needs remote activation — contact your account manager to check whether it's active on your account, and whether a hardware upgrade is needed. All three depend on mobile network coverage; for extended coverage beyond cellular range, they can be paired with the Argus SATRAKS solution using satellite communications.
## How do I get started?
Order Panic Button, Rollover Sensor or Impact Sensor hardware as an accessory through [Device Management](https://help.argustracking.co.nz/knowledge-base/how-do-i-order-new-gps-hardware-request-a-reinstall-or-decommission-a-unit?hsLang=en-au), or contact your account manager to check what's already installed on your vehicles.
