How does the Cordware bestinformed® Alarm Edition work?
On the occurance of a hazardous situation, the affected employee presses a key or a key-combination on the PC's keyboard and immediately initiates a full-screen emergency alert. Instantly, the alert is displayed on every computer of the targeted recipient-group, for example the surrounding offices and the guard service. If desired, the alert can contain an acoustic alarm as well.
Discrete Alarm-Initiation
From the perspective of the initiator, the alarm is silent, meaning that the alarm is triggered imperceptible for other persons in the room.
Instant Acknowledgement of Receipt
Instantly after the alarm is triggered, a status-window is shown to the initiator, displaying the number of recipients and the number of confirmations. This way, the initiator can rest assured that the alert was recognized and that help is on its way. The instant acknowldegement of receipt supports the initiator to remain calm and to psychologically master the situation.
All-Clear notification per keytroke
In case the hazardous situation is resolved, the initiator of the alarm can post an all-clear message. This all-clear message can be displayed as a banner instead of a full-screen message.
