Lockdown / Emergency / Weather

IP backbone / retrofit lockdown-emergency-weather systems are a combination of analog speakers and cabling connected IP network audio gateways on existing or new network infrastructures. This type system allows use of existing analog infrastructure / speakers, and provides the advantage of migration to IP control. IP backbone system deployment is much faster than analog and offers the benefit of using software to make changes such as volume levels, zoning, alerts, weather monitoring, and lockdown activation modes. Access to activate alerts can be stand alone phones, as well as FXO, FXS, IP Interactive Consoles, and SIP. Communication/Notification browser based software is easily programmed based on your specific needs and types of weather or emergency alerts. IP backbone systems also provide the ability to connect IP speaker/horn endpoints that broadcast simultaneously with the analog speakers. This type system is often used for larger buildings, multiple buildings, or large areas of coverage and is typically 1 to 200 zones. IP backbone retrofit systems can be linked together for enterprise customers and controlled from a central location.

Full IP lockdown-emergency-weather systems are modern, flexible, easy to install, and utilize new or existing network infrastructures. Each endpoint including speakers, speakers with text/flashers, and horns simply plug into a PoE network switch. All communications and power is provided with this single PoE port which makes installations fast and simple. Set-up and programming is 100% software controlled and managed. Making changes is simple and done with the click of a mouse including speaker volume levels, zoning, alerts, weather monitoring, and lockdown activation modes. Access to activate alerts can be stand alone phones, as well as FXO, FXS, IP Interactive Consoles, and SIP. Communication/Notification browser based software is easily programmed based on your specific needs and types of weather or emergency alerts. A full IP system has no limits on zones and can be expanded without the need to purchase new headend equipment. This type system is used in all type applications including small buildings, large buildings, multi-buildings, multi-site, and multi-campus with hundreds or thousands of zones. Full IP systems can be linked together for enterprise customers and controlled from a central location.
