Is Your School Prepared?

Many campuses are not prepared to respond to a disruptive event and do not have systems in place to automatically alert stakeholders of a situation in progress. Typically, inefficient manual processes are used to alert staff, students and parents. ICON Signals improves the monitoring and
alerting process by unifying existing systems and new monitoring technology into an automated alerting platform that quickly notifies security, police, fire, teachers and staff, students, guests and others both on and off-site of emergency events.

Open Architecture

​Most schools and campuses have multiple monitoring and communications systems already in place. These systems include phone systems, access control systems, clock systems, alarm panels, etc. These systems typically operate independently. Leveraging an open architecture, ICON Signals integrates all of these systems into a centralized monitoring and alerting platform. When an event such as intrusion, weather event or fire alarm occurs, alerts are sent to multiple endpoints inclusive of mobile phones, text messages, audible alerts and more.
