SituCon: How it Works

Following up on yesterday's post, here are some of the nuts and bolts of the SituCon system.

A typical SituCon deployment consists of four components: a wireless alert button, privacy protecting cameras, management software and a wireless access point.

Each wireless Instant Alert button is registered to a specific user. Pushing the button initiates the surveillance system and sends an alert to a dispatch center.

The Instant Alert button interfaces with the SituCon Manager software application. Information including the distressed individual's name, location, photograph, telephone number and a floor plan of their area is immediately displayed at dispatch centers.

The Wireless alert also activates the SituCam privacy camera, signaling its protective cover to retract.

Finally, a SituPoint wireless access point transmits video outside of the protected building. This allows law enforcement or other first responders to view real-time video before entering a potentially dangerous area.
