- Real-time classroom lockdown acknowledgment. Receive immediate feedback from classrooms when in lockdown.
Real-time classroom lockdown acknowledgment
Real-time lockdown acknowledgment from the classroom provides administration and first responders with critical life-safety information for effective response during a crisis.
- Map display of all classrooms that have acknowledged a lockdown. Highlight classrooms or areas that may be under increased threat.
- Confirmation from the classroom. The check button is backlit when pressed to confirm acknowledgment at the admin office.
