Quickly Alert for Better Security

ALARM INTEGRATIONS Bridge communications between fire panels and other system alarms/alerts and EverAlert. When an alarm is activated for a fire, lockdown, or other switch-activated event, your predefined custom message appears on EverAlert displays for instant communication throughout a building. Location-specific weather alerts and alarms that are initiated by the National Weather Service (NWS) are automatically displayed according to user preference. Weather alerts can be customized to show specific information on how to respond, and can display as full-screen alarms or informational banners, or even disabled entirely.

EverAlert Integrator, PN: EAIV3

“When we practice our fire, tornado or lockdown drills and the alarm is activated, EverAlert’s corresponding visual display helps clearly identify the alarm type so teachers and students can react more quickly.”

Emergency notification screens can be customized to your specific needs and can be accompanied by prerecorded audio. From the color of the message banner to the title and instructions provided, giving you ultimate control to follow your standard response protocol.
