Thanks to Rescu, when you find yourself in an emergency, you can now just tap 2 buttons in an app to have police, fire, or emergency medical help sent your way. To meet the needs of everyone across the country, Rescu offers 2 versions of their emergency response app: Rescu and Rescu Prime.
Here’s a close look at what Rescu is and how the 2 versions of the app differ from each other:
What is Rescu?
Rescu is a personal safety app that provides protection for you, your family, and your home by offering the quickest way to get help in an emergency. With just two taps on your mobile device, your mobile app can call police, fire, or medical emergency response help to your pre-set address (like your home) without even having to talk.
Because of Rescu:
- The deaf or hard of hearing have an efficient emergency response solution
- Those with a medical condition can live more independently
- People with home security systems can send help to their houses when a threat is detected
- You can send firemen to your home when your smoke alarm detects a fire through the fire alert function of the app
- Families can rest easy knowing they can request help quickly in an unexpected situation
Since Rescu uses a UL-certified, 5-Diamond rated monitoring center that communicates directly with the emergency services that have jurisdiction in your specific address location, it bypasses the need to speak with a 9-1-1 operator.
No matter which version of Rescu emergency medical, police and fire app you choose to download, you will always receive the fastest emergency response, but there are more safety features that come with a Rescu Prime subscription.
Rescu vs Rescu Prime
As of October 2019, there are 2 versions of Rescu available for download, Rescu and Rescu Prime. Rescu is the basic or standard option while Rescu Prime is the upgrade that offers improved safety features. Understand how they differ from each other to determine which one is best for you!
Rescu
Rescu allows you to signal for an ambulance with two taps on your device. Your signal will be sent directly to emergency services providing you with the fastest help possible. When downloading Rescu, you’ll be prompted to input one dispatch address and an unlimited number of contacts that will be automatically notified in the event of an emergency, so that you don’t have to.
Features of Rescu include:
- The ability to dispatch medical help (ambulance)
- Storage of 1 dispatch address (like your home)
- Input of emergency contacts, who are also notified when dispatch is requested
- A test mode feature that allows users to test the emergency medical app safely before actually using it in live mode
- Valuable personal and family safety information provided by Rescu and our partners via blogs, emails, and more
Rescu Prime
In comparison to Rescu, Rescu Prime is an upgraded version of the emergency medical app that includes additional safety features. It was developed for enhanced protection and offers a subscription that includes police and fire dispatch in addition to ambulance service for a reasonable cost ($60/year).
Since Rescu Prime can be used to request fire and police help, it is an excellent complement to smart home security systems! For example, if you’re away from home and receive an alert from your security system (whether it’s an intruder or a fire) you can quickly get the help you need by using Rescu to immediately dispatch police or firemen to your address.
Rescu Prime provides a blanket of protection for you and your home by offering these great features:
- The ability to dispatch all 3 emergency services: Medical (ambulance), Police, and Fire help
- Storage of up to 4 dispatch addresses
- Homeowner’s insurance certificates, upon request (for possible discounts)
- Input of emergency contacts, who are also notified when dispatch is requested
- A test mode feature that allows users to test the app safely before actually using it in live mode
- Valuable personal and family safety information provided by Rescu and our partners via blogs, emails, and more
- Immediate access to the newest Rescu Prime features as they roll out
