K-12 EDUCATION

School administrators today must be thoughtful and strategic in how they allocate school safety and security resources. They also realize that there is a thin line between making a school safer and turning it into a fortress. Administrators looking for an ideal solution to this complex challenge should consider Campus Shield.

School administrators choose Campus Shield for a variety of reasons:

        • Unlike cell phones and Wi-Fi networks, it works all the time.
        • Under duress, it is simple and easy to activate. One button, one press.
        • Campus Shield integrates with camera systems, allowing districts to extract more value from those investments.

    WHAT IS CAMPUS SHIELD and how does it work?

     Campus Shield is a radio-frequency (RF) panic button system that allows users to instantly and discreetly alert first responders of an emergency anywhere on campus. The key-fob sized panic button called a PAL (Personal Alarm Locator) travels with individuals on a lanyard or in a pocket. The system can cover indoor and outdoor spaces. There are no dead zones, and it provides accurate location information whether the person in distress is in a basement or a third floor bathroom.

     

    The system is activated by pressing a small, handheld device called a PAL. PAL activation is simple and discrete. Each PAL is assigned to a specific user, allowing first responders to identify the individual in distress.

    Once a PAL is pressed, encrypted RF travels through our independent network to provide location and voice data. The system integrates with the existing camera network to provide instant eyes on the scene. Additionally email and text alerts are sent out to a predetermined list of key contacts.

     

    Alert stations in key locations (e.g., main office, SRO office, police dispatch) display a picture of the PAL holder, profile information, as well as the location of the emergency on an interactive map. If the PAL holder moves during activation, their location updates automatically.

     

    Campus Shield is the fastest and most reliable way to connect users and critical data to first responders to speed up response times to emergencies.
