Immediate and effective communication can mean the difference between safety and tragedy in emergencies. While audile alarms are important, Visual Events/Notifications such as LED Signs, flashers and strobe lights can add urgency and comprehensibility and strengthen emergency response. These tools are great for ensuring safety in areas with higher sound levels, such as industrial facilities, gymnasiums, warehouses, woodshops or large open areas and for individuals who are hearing impaired. These attention-grabbing devices like the LED screens or flashers will ensure the emergency notification are noticed in a timely manner.
G2’s DIA Device and LCD Screen IP Speaker offer more than alerts, daily announcements and scrolling text; they can provide actionable instructions. Visual Events on the DIA can display visual messages such as Lockout, Lockdown or Evacuate to give an idea of the situation that is going on. While the LCD IP Speaker can have scrolling text and flashers. Both of these devices can help minimize confusion and panic. These devices can be installed in the interior locations such as classrooms, gyms, offices, departments and more.
G2’s Visual Events software can be added to many devices, ranging from PC, MAC, Chromebook, Interactive Flat Panels and DIA. This software can bring Visual Events that virtually take over your device in times of emergencies. These Visual Events are a great addition for enhancing visual communication quickly throughout your facility. Initiating an event through G2 Communicator that has a Visual paired with it is quick and easy and can disseminate the information throughout the building and beyond (on the devices that the software is loaded on to).
From providing guidance and ensuring the hearing impaired have accessibility to be able to see these devices, visual notification devices bridge the critical communication gaps that audible systems cannot address. These tools enhance safety, security and ensure everyone receives the information they need to stay safe in a crisis.
