How Does Lynx Create a Safer Campus?

Higher Education facilities must now have a mass notification system. Every classroom can be easily equipped with a duress button using a computer keyboard that quietly notifies emergency personnel. Using an existing computer keyboard is a very cost-effective way to solve the installation and ease of use issues.

Lynx integrates with campus safety radios. This is huge step in adding a critical extra layer of protection. Lynx has the ability to communicate alerts to local law enforcement quickly. You can also simplify multi-level lockdowns when you have many buildings across a campus. Alerts can be sent to every PC, or a selection of computers in different buildings in seconds.

Benefits of Lynx for School Campus’:

  • Discrete panic buttons that work on any computer workstation
  • Mobile duress options for staff moving through campus
  • Multi-channel emergency notifications for code alerts
  • Integration with existing security and communication systems
  • Automated reporting for compliance requirements
  • Scalable deployment options for any campus size
