Respons time will allways differ as to location and situation, but a sillent alarm is a safety guard no matter what for employes and the company, it's pretty much the same with a fire alarm, they don't spawn firemens allover immediately, it does take time for them to react.

Well, i have worked as a hotel technician for small 10 years and my job among other was to make sure the sillent alarms allways worked and was testet.
They never saved lifes for two reasons, 1: they are not specificly intended to 2: no life were in imediate danger.
What they did though was making sure that 3 out 5 robberies were obstructed and the offender was caught in the act or escape.
The respons time from law inforcement was snap spot on or within 3 to 5 min. usually from a patrol car in the vicinity.

Then that's called "false sense of security". Maybe that should be fixed?

So is a lifewest in an airplane but still very usefull and lifesaving in the right situation.
So basically any situation that could take longer than 5 minutes plus response time, so... Hostage taker?
Silent alarm, implies threat is present and knows people are there.
BTW what happen to leaving yet another gun thread?
Or are you in the habit of making false statements to prove a superficial point?
