Keep your people protected with easily accessible panic buttons.
With our InformaCast software, your existing devices can transform into powerful panic buttons. Take your desk phones, computers, wearables, mounted devices, or mobile phones, and enable your people to discreetly send alerts directly to specific security teams or throughout a facility for rapid response. Whether it’s a medical emergency, violent intruder, or any other incident, these one-touch solutions ensure the right people are notified instantly so the issue can be resolved as soon as possible.
Convenient panic buttons for requesting help with one click.
InformaCast App
System administrators can create mobile panic buttons within the InformaCast app web interface. These buttons then appear within the InformaCast app on designated end-users’ phones. When a user activates a button, they receive instructions and are able to connect with safety teams via a phone call directly from the app.
Administrators are notified when someone activates the button and can see the user’s location through the app and send follow-up messages. The event is tracked so information can be relayed to first responders, so they know the situation, where to go, and who is involved.
Keyboard Shortcut Panic Buttons
Turn desktop computers into easily accessible panic buttons. Download the InformaCast app to Windows computers to configure keyboard shortcuts that serve as panic buttons. This short combination of keys will initiate a preconfigured message to send an alert. The desktop app can also be used to receive messages and initiate alerts that can be sent throughout your organization.
Desk Phone Soft Keys
Make panic buttons as accessible as possible by configuring soft keys on desk phones. These pre-configured buttons can launch lockdowns, evacuations, or signal that someone is in danger. This way, people can quickly activate alerts and get to safety without drawing attention to themselves. Send text and prerecorded audio to specific security personnel or throughout your organization.
Physical Device Integration
Physical devices such as Power over Ethernet (PoE) panic buttons help minimize the risk of the button accidentally being pressed. Mount these devices under a desk or in a discreet location. When a button is pressed, text and audio can be automatically sent throughout a building or to a specific group of responders.
Wearable Panic Buttons and Devices
Prioritize employee well-being by offering personalized protection. InformaCast integrates with wearable badges, such as personal ID badges, which have discreet buttons that can be pushed to request help during an emergency. When the button is pressed, a message is sent to internal security teams with the name of the person who activated the button and their location.
Alyssa’s Law Compliance
States across the country are passing or proposing Alyssa’s Law, which requires schools to implement silent panic buttons that alert people within a building and reach local Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) to notify them of an issue. InformaCast-enabled panic buttons can send alerts to computers, digital signage, desk phones, scrolling displays, mobile devices, and the PSAP with location information to help facilitate an effective response during an emergency.
Contact our team to learn more about how your school can leverage InformaCast to meet Alyssa’s Law requirements.
