Teachers and lecturers are often the first line of defense in ensuring student safety, whether during class, on-campus activities, or during field trips. They need a reliable and quick way to summon help when dealing with emergencies such as medical incidents, behavioral problems, or threats to personal safety.
Instant Access to Security Teams or Department Heads: Traditional communication systems like VoIP or messaging apps can be slow in critical moments. With SOS Live, teachers and lecturers can alert campus security or department heads with the push of a button, ensuring rapid response without the need to fumble with phones or other devices. Whether it's an intruder in the building or a student in distress, help is on its way within seconds.
Customizable Alerts Based on Campus Needs: SOS Live can be fully customized to suit the layout and operational needs of any educational institution. Alerts can be directed to specific departments—such as security, administration, or local authorities—depending on the nature of the incident. For example, an alert from a classroom might go directly to campus security, while a request for medical assistance during a sports event could be routed to the campus nurse or external emergency services.
Discreet and Non-Intrusive Reporting: Teachers and lecturers often face situations where they need to call for help without alarming students or escalating the situation. SOS Live’s discreet SOS button allows staff to notify the appropriate teams without causing disruption in the classroom or during lectures.
Students, particularly those in higher education, face various safety and security concerns, from late-night walks across campus to medical emergencies and personal safety threats. While many universities have panic alert apps, their uptake is low due to privacy concerns, as students may not want to share their location data or other personal information.
Privacy-Focused Safety Solution: SOS Live provides students with a standalone device that allows them to alert security or emergency services without needing to use their personal smartphones. This ensures that students retain full control over when and how their location is shared, alleviating concerns over data privacy.
Safety for International Students: International students, especially those new to the country, often feel vulnerable in unfamiliar surroundings. SOS Live provides an extra layer of security, offering them a quick way to call for help if they feel unsafe or are unsure of their environment. Whether they’re dealing with language barriers, unfamiliar social situations, or cultural differences, SOS Live helps them stay protected.
Easy-to-Use and Non-Intrusive Device: Unlike apps that require downloading, setup, and constant smartphone usage, SOS Live is a simple, standalone device. It requires minimal setup, making it accessible even for students who are not tech-savvy. Its portability also means that students can keep it with them during night-time study sessions, walks across campus, or outings, knowing that help is just a button away.
Campus security teams are responsible for the safety of thousands of students and staff, often across large and complex sites. With numerous entry points, public areas, and academic buildings, managing incidents and responding to threats in real-time is a challenging task.
Rapid Response to Security Threats: SOS Live enables security teams to receive instant notifications about potential security threats, ensuring a faster response. Whether it's an unauthorized person entering the campus, a student in distress, or a fire alarm, security personnel can respond immediately with the information they need to take action.
Customized Security Protocols: Every educational institution has its own security protocols based on campus layout, student population, and local risks. SOS Live can be programmed to align with these protocols, ensuring that the right teams are notified for different types of incidents. For example, alerts related to building access issues can go directly to facilities management, while urgent safety threats are routed to the on-campus security team or local police.
Coordinated Evacuations and Emergency Drills: In the case of larger emergencies, such as fires, intruders, or natural disasters, SOS Live can be used to coordinate evacuation efforts and emergency drills. The system allows for real-time communication between security personnel, administrators, and teachers, ensuring that all parts of the campus are evacuated safely and efficiently.
Educational institutions must balance providing a safe environment with maintaining a positive learning atmosphere. SOS Live provides administration with the tools to ensure both security and peace of mind for staff, students, and parents.
Incident Reporting and Documentation: SOS Live automatically logs all incident alerts, creating a comprehensive record of when and where emergencies occurred, how they were handled, and the outcome. This data can be used for internal audits, safety reports, and to ensure compliance with local regulations or accreditation requirements.
Tailored Web Software and Mobile App: The SOS Live system includes customizable web-based software and mobile apps that can be branded to match the institution’s identity. This allows campus security and administrative teams to monitor incidents, manage alerts, and customize responses—all within an intuitive, easy-to-use platform that integrates seamlessly with existing systems.
Improved Parent and Community Confidence: In today’s climate, safety is a top concern for parents when selecting an educational institution for their children. By implementing SOS Live, schools and universities can provide an added layer of safety, enhancing the confidence of parents and the broader community that the institution takes student and staff security seriously.
Beyond day-to-day operations, campuses often host special events such as open days, conferences, sports tournaments, and other large gatherings that can increase the risk of security or medical incidents. SOS Live ensures that these events are managed smoothly, providing real-time communication for security teams, event organizers, and emergency responders.
On-Demand Security for Large Gatherings: Special events often bring non-students onto campus, increasing the risk of security incidents. SOS Live provides a quick and easy way for staff to notify security of any suspicious behavior, crowd control issues, or emergencies, ensuring that incidents are handled discreetly and efficiently.
Emergency Response for Off-Campus Activities: Whether it's a field trip, student group outing, or study abroad program, SOS Live can be used to ensure student and staff safety off-campus. The devices can be programmed to alert local authorities or campus security, even if the incident occurs away from school grounds, ensuring that help is available wherever it’s needed.
SOS Live transforms safety and security in education, ensuring that both staff and students are protected while maintaining the institution’s focus on learning and community.
