Marie Van Brittan Brown
(October 30, 1922 – February 2, 1999)
Marie knew this would only help them know who was at the door or attempting to enter the home but would not improve the emergency response time.
Knowing that the police or security response was slow she decided that there must be a quicker way for them to alert the authorities.
To do so she invented a system that contacted police and emergency responders with just the tap of a button.
She and her husband cited other inventors in their patent, such as Edward D. Phiney[5] and Thomas J. Reardon. Even now, over fifty years later, her invention is still being used by smaller businesses and living facilities.[4]
