Safety & Security
Door Barricades & Prop Detection
Bolo Stick
Issue: Most interior doors are not fully secured with any type of secondary door locking mechanism or system.
Need: Impenetrable classrooms and offices during times of crisis.
Easy Solution: Bolo Sticks are small, steel rods that slip into the base of a door and then into a round hole in the floor. This device is simple (even a small child or a nervous teacher can operate it) AND effective (requiring over 4 tons of force to break through or pry open the door).
PropStop
Issue: Exterior doors are prone to being propped open and unmonitored causing security concerns.
Need: A fool-proof device to ensure exterior doors remain shut/locked.
Easy Solution: PropStop can mount to any door. Information on the door position is sent to the StaffAlerter Dashboard to display the status. A customizable time value is set to determine when the alert should be sent. Upon a detected door prop condition, notifications including overhead pages, emails, and/or texts are sent to pre-determined staff.
Visitor Management Kiosk
schoolSAFEid
Issue: Clipboard sign-ins just don't cut it anymore. It is crucial to know who is entering, why, and for how long.
Need: A quick and comprehensive tool for tracking visitors and student/staff attendance that significantly improves school safety.
Easy Solution: SchoolSAFEid is a kiosk with 4 components.
A) Online check-in with the touch-screen device.
B) Scan of faces and IDs with the camera.
C) Printed badges worn during visit.
D) Detailed reports produced to simplify data collection.
Non-Lethal Defense Device
Threat Extinguisher
Issue: Your personnel in the front office are sitting ducks. They are not sufficiently prepared to be your first line of defense.
Need: Provide staff with a non-lethal device that they can use from a distance to deter active aggressors.
Easy Solution: Threat Extinguisher emits non-lethal spray which temporarily disables intruders. It functions much like a fire extinguisher, containing industrial-strength pepper spray gel and reaching a distance of 25ft. When removed from its base, it sets off alarms and notifies pre-identified local authorities.
Whole Campus Alerts
Alertus
Issue: During emergencies or outages, the tools we typically use for communication are ineffective or inefficient.
Need: A notification system that can rapidly alert across numerous devices and can stretch to every corner of your facilities.
Easy Solution: Alertus is a hardwired system that leverages your existing infrastructure to quickly broadcast notifications to all computers, tablets, phones, TVs, speakers, marquees, and fire alarms.
StaffAlerter
Issue: Notifications to staff, emergency personnel, students, and/or parents are ineffective.
Need: A notification system that can rapidly alert across numerous device-types and audiences.
Easy Solution: StaffAlerter is a cloud-based, wireless system that provides a layered approach to building safety. With a variety of options for alerts and alarms, this system can control building access, sense facility environmental changes, send notifications, offers 24/7/365 monitoring, and equips staff with Personal Alert Devices.
Dismissal Safety & Pickup
smartDISMISSal
Issue: The after-school pickup line is hectic and unsafe.
Need: A process that facilitates a safer, more organized, and less demanding dismissal process.
Easy Solution: The smartDISMISSal technology replaces the need for outdated walkie talkies, bullhorns, and clip boards. School staff enters a student’s ID number from a wireless device which is then relayed inside the school. The student's name appears on a screen which corresponds with their guardian’s vehicle number. This process minimizes the number of staff involved and creates a safer environment - the correct students leaving with the correct adults.
Vape Detection
HALO
Issue: The use of vaping devices, eCigs, and THC is a daily health and safety concern and there is no perfect way to monitor it.
Need: Sensors set-up in strategic places to detect vaping and the use of other smoke-producing products.
Easy Solution: HALO SmartSensors and their cloud-based system allow you to manage devices across the campus, receive real-time Health Index and Air Quality alerts via text/email, as well as view historical data to document your building’s trouble spots.
ThinkLite Air
Issue: The quality of your indoor air is affecting the health of everyone in your facility, 24/7/365. Currently you have no way of knowing what’s lurking and how to fix it.
Need: A simple and effective way to continuously test and monitor the air.
Easy Solution: The Flair IAQ Monitor captures data down to a .1-.3 micron size and measures a myriad of harmful pathogens and pollutants including mold, allergens, pollens, ozone, CO, CO2, NO2, smoke, vape, and viruses. Enabling the custom alerts feature will allow you to track metrics and alert your facility leaders when issues arise.
Metal Detection
Metrasens
Issue: Safety concerns abound at both public events and day-to-day school entry.
Need: An effective, versatile screening device that can be used in a variety of environments, is touch-free, and causes minimal disruptions.
Easy Solution: Metrasens Ultra is an advanced detection system to prevent weapons and other threat items. Metrasens offers flexible and non-intimidating detection that integrates seamlessly into your existing environments. Strike the balance between accurate, precise screening and keeping people moving.
Active Threat Alarm
‘The Threat Horn’
Issue: Current alarms and sounds can cause confusion about what the emergency actually is (ex. fire alarm is pulled for active shooter).
Need: A single, standard sound that is recognized as the alert for acts of violence and lockdowns.
Easy Solution: The Active Threat Alarm was created to become the world’s single-sound for active threats. Similar to a train horn, it has the ability to send a clear message about the crisis situation and the actions to take. Law enforcement is immediately notified and the reduction in confusion saves lives.
Window Films
3M Safety & Security Films
Issue: Your glass windows and doors increase vulnerability for the dangers of intruders, theft, and active shooter situations.
Need: Improve overall window security, prevent shatters, add weather protections, and decrease the impacts of heat/UV.
Easy Solution: The 3M Series include various thicknesses Ultra (6 or 8 mill) and Safety (4, 7, 8, and 14 mill). Check off the following: active shooter interception, crime, bomb blast, and weather protection, graffiti management, and shatter-less breakage.
