Every way to trigger an emergency, and exactly what happens next

SafX can raise an alarm from the SOS button, from shaking the phone, from a detected car crash, or from a paired watch. All four run through the same countdown and the same delivery path.

• The four ways to raise an emergency — Button, shake, crash detection, or a paired smartwatch.
• The countdown, and how to cancel — Nothing is sent immediately. You get between 5 and 30 seconds to stop an accidental trigger.
• What happens the moment the countdown ends — Guardians are notified, live location starts flowing, evidence capture begins, and a report is opened.
• Tuning shake detection so it fires when you mean it — Three sliders decide sensitivity: shake count, intensity and window.
• Testing your trigger without sending anything — A 2-minute test mode that disables real shake emergencies while it runs.
• Crash detection — Automatic while driving, using accelerometer data together with GPS speed.
• Evidence capture during an emergency — Audio can start automatically; camera and microphone can be pre-armed so they open without delay.
• Cancelling versus resolving — Cancel stops an alert before it is sent. Resolve closes one that has already gone out.
• Monthly alert limits on the free plan — The free plan allows 3 emergency alerts per calendar month.
• Common problems and fixes — When the trigger does not behave the way you expect.
