Emergency remote control communications systems and methods provide remote access to, activation of, deactivation of, monitoring of, communications with, and/or otherwise management of a Voice-Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communications device (and/or another peripheral communications device) in response to an emergency communication originating from the VoIP communications device. An emergency remote control communications software product detects an emergency communications signal, and, in response, generates an emergency remote control communications signal for communication to the VoIP communications device via a communications network.
