Interoperability: Unifying Your Facility's Infrastructure and IT Assets
by Kat Wilkerson, Content Marketing Specialist
System integration unifies new or existing hardware, packaged and custom software, and communications under one platform. Alertus provides seamless integrations with the goal of every customer achieving a single activation point for their mass notification systems. This single activation point grants the ability to streamline, simplify, and reduce the time it takes to coordinate and initiate an emergency alert.
With our commitment to providing the best system unification available, we partner with several major vendors, integrators, and installers to make integrating your notification systems and devices effortless.
Integration Capabilities
Alertus meets alerting requirements across all vertical markets by offering facility, network, outdoor, and personal notification solutions. Through hardware and software solutions and our ability to integrate with other leaders in fire, building automation, and security, we can successfully reach all facets of a facility in the event of an incident.
Distributed Recipient Mass Notification Systems (DRMNS)
Organizations must ensure a reliable activation method and well-trained users to build a resilient crisis communication system with DRMNS technology. Building redundancy is critical because integrating mobile and PA solutions with several partners specializing in DRMNS and audible notifications allows the Alertus System to activate pre-set alerts to desktops, mobile phones, and PA Systems.
Situational Awareness
Providing situational awareness for emergencies is critical in keeping on-site and off-site personnel safe. Alertus partners with organizations such as Genetec to identify threats like active intruders or disgruntled employees or visitors and seamlessly activate emergency notifications through Alertus.
For instance, Genetec’s powerful security events and alarms combine with the Alertus System to generate and disseminate visual and audible notifications to security stakeholders' PCs or mobile devices.
Intelligent Building Solutions
The Alertus Emergency Mass Notification System integrates with and leverages existing building systems and technology, transforming them into powerful alerting devices, including fire alarm systems, door access control, and automation systems.
By integrating Alertus with access control and building automation systems, such as our partner, Databuoy’s Shotpoint, security teams can gain helpful insight into when people have entered the building and where they are to send vital, potentially life-saving information to them in an emergency. This automation grants organizations control of their facility’s system, saving time, effort, and cost while reducing manual errors.
Databuoy’s Shotpoint integration with the Alertus Server uses incident details from Shotpoint, including camera recordings, location, and the number of gunshots, to employ intelligent decisions and send targeted alerts based on the data received. This immediate activation of the Alertus System streamlines critical communication procedures and ensures the delivery of life-saving information.
Preparing for the unpredictable goes beyond having a
standard fire alarm or an emergency strobe.
With a comprehensive mass notification system, you can create a multilayered alerting process and rapidly heighten organization-wide awareness when it matters the most.
Our industry-leading integration capabilities unify your facility’s infrastructure and IT assets to streamline crisis communication and response procedures, leaving your facility and personnel notified and protected during an emergency.
