Our Story.

Founded in 2016 by Trav Heaven, Duress began with a clear mission: to leverage technology for the aid of domestic violence victims in Australia. What started as the Duress App soon gathered attention from new industries, including real estate agents and retail. Responding to the evolving needs of small businesses, the app transformed, giving rise to the Phoenix card, inspired by client feedback.

As interest expanded globally, multinational corporations and government departments sought solutions tailored to their requirements. This led to the creation of Falcon, the world's smallest body-worn camera, equipped with live video streaming capabilities.

In November 2023, Duress unveiled its latest innovation, Eagle, a game-changer in the body-worn industry. Not only does Eagle provide live incident streaming to an A1 ASIAL graded call centre, but it also boasts groundbreaking features such as AI functionality and a built-in Walkie-Talkie. The launch of Eagle in Australia and the UK has sparked demand from retailers, security firms, and major players in the fast-food industry.

With a team of over 40 dedicated developers, led by Trav Heaven, Duress remains committed to pushing boundaries. Currently, they're hard at work on additional functionalities poised to solidify their market leadership in the future.

Today, Duress proudly serves clients across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and the USA, offering innovative solutions that make a tangible difference in people's lives.
