Mass Notification Solutions for Camps
Year after year, children of all ages head to camp, and the safety of every child is in the hands of camp staff. Most camps are experts at handling the bumps and bruises of outdoor activities. Still, very few are readily equipped to communicate and respond to major emergencies or incidents requiring mass communication.
The Alertus System’s design helps camp counselors and emergency staff notify the entire ground or select individuals of severe weather, fires, an active shooter, or other critical events through intelligible voice communications, preset alerts, and audible-visual notification methods.
Integrate Existing Systems to Protect Campers
Unified mass notification gives camps the power to maximize their conventional notification investments. The Alertus System leverages existing resources and fills in communication gaps to ensure that no camper or staff goes without potentially life-saving notification.
Two-Way Radio Integration
The Alertus System overrides the designated channel and uses text-to-speech technology to provide clear, spoken emergency alerts to the appropriate camp personnel, no matter where they are. Additionally, our integration supports the playback of alert tones immediately preceding the rendered speech alert to capture the recipient’s attention.
Digital Signage Override
Retrofit cafeteria and dining hall televisions with Alertus’ digital signage override software to provide zoneable alerts that can be easily read from a distance. Additionally, this software supports the playback of alert tones and voice messages on systems with audio output capabilities.
VoIP Phone Notification
Receive in-office notifications from camp counselors requesting help by transforming a simple VoIP system into a paging or emergency PA system. Send notifications to all or select VoIP desk phones in your facility for instances like intruders or medical emergencies.
Reach Everyone with Advanced Technology
Including Alertus’ various notification devices in your communication strategy also helps overcome common challenges such as scattered campers and staff, lack of cell phone coverage, large open spaces without alerting endpoints, and individuals with special needs.
