Fire and intruder alarms will automatically alert the appropriate responders allowing them to check the situation before making decisions about containment or evacuation. Doors and gates can be locked remotely by the system and critical alarms are set to require an acknowledgment or cancellation.
Security privileges can be set for each individual, granting or restricting access to student information and nominating personnel as immediate responders for designated issues. Most importantly, the system is configured in such a way that it cannot be hacked so information will always remain strictly on a need to know basis.
All of the above is included in a bolt on system by BlueSky Wireless that takes into account existing hardware and software and works to ensure they talk to each other in a user friendly manner. This helps to keep costs down as there is no need to buy additional expensive hardware.
