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.  In an emergency, Signals will quickly notify security, police, fire, teachers, staff, students, guests and others both on and off-site. 

Silent Alarms

Alyssa's Law

Alyssa’s Law is critical legislation aimed at addressing the issue of law enforcement response time when a life-threatening emergency occurs. The law calls for the installation of silent panic alarms that are directly linked to law enforcement, so in case of any emergency they will arrive at the scene as quickly as possible, take down a threat and triage any victims.

Signals™ empowers teachers and staff to summon help wherever they are on campus with ICON's integrated mobile panic button solutions.  Activated using either a wireless pendant or smart phone app, response time is expedited by providing the appropriate personnel and first responders with detailed, situation-specific alerts that include location information.  Details on the legislation and an up to date list of each state that has enacted the law or has pending legislation can be reviewed on the “make our schools safe” website:  ​https://makeourschoolssafe.org/alyssas-law/

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.
