Our story

Where it all began.

Founded by Trav Heaven, Duress began with a clear mission: to use technology to support domestic violence victims in Australia through the launch of the Duress App.

Expanded into new industries.

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 Duress App transformed, giving rise to the Duress Phoenix card, inspired by client feedback.

Global demand takes off.

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

Not your typical body-worn camera.

Duress Eagle, a game-changer in body-worn technology. Eagle offers live incident streaming to an A1 ASIAL-graded call centre, along with AI functionality and Push-to-Talk communication. Its release in Australia and the UK has driven demand from retailers, security firms, and major fast-food chains.
