Emergency alerts digital signage is something we take very seriously here at Rise Vision. Being able to communicate emergency information to a campus body, hospital staff and visitors, or any building environment can save lives as well as reduce emergency response time.
As a digital signage software provider, Rise Vision can distribute emergency information to a network of T.V.s or digital displays in any campus setting or office environment. You’ll find that setting up Rise Vision software to broadcast emergency information isn’t difficult and can be done in a matter of minutes.
Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) can be thought of as a universal adapter for alert messages. A CAP alert message sender can activate multiple alert systems with a single input. The idea is this system reduces complexity and costs for everyone that’s connected. CAP was developed to help every organization involved in improving the state of emergency notification with a simplified and standardized protocol.
As of 2019, many software, mobile, and web application providers have created solutions to solve emergency situation problems using the CAP system. Users of CAP software don’t necessarily need to know the protocol - CAP simply provides a framework for emergency software providers to utilize which allows easy integration between different applications and receiving hardware. However, if you’re looking for emergency notification solutions, be sure to look for systems that use CAP and/or integrate with other CAP-based systems.
Thousands of schools around the world are using Rise Vision and PunchAlert as an emergency notification solution. Both applications are easy to use, reduce response time and are loved by school administrators around the globe.
The first step is to set up T.V.s or digital displays around your campus in locations that are highly visible to the student body and staff. Typical locations that we recommend are usually at the end of hallways, near main entrances, in libraries and cafeterias.
The next step is to select a media player that supports digital signage software. We recommend the Rise Vision Pre-Configured Intel NUC Pentium Linux Media Player as it makes for an easier installation process.
Once the digital signage hardware has been set up, simply create or login to your Rise Vision account and select the emergency signage templates that you’d like to use.
If your school is in need of emergency notification systems, and would like to discuss how Rise Vision and PunchAlert can be implemented at your campus, please contact us here.
Rise Vision and PunchAlert are also available for colleges and university emergency notification systems. Rise Vision is currently used in universities across North America.
Rise Vision digital signage can be used in multiple buildings regardless of the size or geographical extent of the university grounds. This means emergency notifications can be broadcasted to all displays across a college or university campus simultaneously.
Areas within a university campus that we recommend installing emergency digital signage consist of the following locations:
- Lecture halls and classrooms
- Dormitories
- Student center
- Administration buildings
- Libraries
- Athletic complexes
- Central plants
Rise Vision is a preferred choice for many hospitals in North America. If your hospital is currently a Rise Vision customer and is interested in using PunchAlert and Rise Vision for your emergency notification system, please contact us here.
Locations within a hospital that we recommend for emergency digital signage:
- Lobby
- Cafeteria
- Foyers
- Elevator bays
- Basements / Lower Levels
- Parking Garages
We often think of schools and hospitals as the primary place where emergency notification systems are needed. However, companies that lease or own large office buildings, skyscrapers and even office campuses also have a responsibility to keep people safe.
It’s common to see digital signage in building lobbies, elevator bays/foyers and even in offices themselves (particularly in finance firms). All of these displays can receive emergency alerts and keep everyone on every floor safe.
