Wireless Panic Button Recommendations
Does anybody know of a relatively low cost pushbutton wireless transmitter/reciever that can be used in conjunction with the auxilliary input on a camera to implement a panic button function?

I've used Seco-Larm's RF wireless for remote door releases in the past, and it should work for this. It's about $15 for a pendant/keychain, and $25 for the receiver.
My only concern about Seco-Larm is that it's not supervised, which would be preferable for a panic button, so you get low battery and status indications. In that case, I've used Linear's DXS wireless, but it's pricier, about $25 for a pendant, and about $60-70 for the receiver.

I sometimes forget about Inovonics. At my last job we did a wireless panic system for a nursing home with their transmitters and receivers, interfaced to the nursecall system. From what I remember, it worked quite simply and well.
They also have fixed buttons and billtraps if those are preferred to mobile.
