What is included in the solution?

• Wireless Panic Buttons

• Mobile App and Web Dashboard (For admin use, not required for staff to install)

How many beacons are required per property?

This depends exclusively on the total amount of areas/rooms the building has.

How do we get location accuracy from the system?

Battery operated beacons simply adhere to each area that is defined as a specific location. For example, they can be placed in rooms, by elevators, emergency exits, common areas, etc. The customer defines all the locations they want to include in their deployment. The beacon location is then configured in our system with the room/area assignment during installation.
