What is the Lynx Mass Notification System?
Lynx is a dynamic mass notification system that seamlessly integrates into existing infrastructures, offering a wide range of functionalities designed to enhance safety. The system has been widely adopted across the United States, with over half a million panic buttons deployed, including in Veterans Affairs medical centers, schools, government agencies, and commercial properties.
Unlock Advantages with a Lynx Mass Notification System
Versatility and Integration
One of the standout features of Lynx is its ability to convert any Windows computer into a silent panic button. This functionality can be activated discreetly, even if the computer is logged off, enabling staff to alert security and other personnel in case of an emergency. Moreover, Lynx supports the addition of wireless buttons and can be integrated with existing alarm points, making it adaptable to various organizational needs.
Comprehensive Notification Features
The system ensures that alerts are sent out efficiently and discreetly through a variety of devices, including mobile phones, computers, and radios. Whether it’s a workplace violence situation or a severe weather alert, Lynx allows organizations to communicate effectively, even providing real-time updates as situations evolve.
Ensuring Operational Readiness
To maintain a high level of preparedness, Lynx includes features for regular testing and supervision of alarms. Scheduled prompts ensure that all devices are operational and that staff members are familiar with the system’s use. This functionality not only enhances safety but also builds confidence among employees that their security measures are reliable.
Advanced Integration Capabilities
The integration of Lynx with other technologies, such as Halo Sense, further bolsters its effectiveness. For instance, Halo can detect environmental changes like vapors or respond to specific code words, triggering Lynx alerts to appropriate personnel. This level of integration ensures a comprehensive approach to organizational safety.
Deployment Options: Cloud vs. On-Premise
Organizations can choose between cloud-based or on-premise deployment of the Lynx system. Cloud deployment simplifies the process by eliminating the need for physical servers, while on-premise solutions can meet specific organizational requirements, such as those in government or healthcare settings. Both options offer robust support from ProTech Security’s tech team, ensuring smooth operation and ongoing training.
Customizable Alerts and Responses
Lynx provides customizable alert systems, allowing organizations to tailor notifications based on the nature of the emergency. Whether it’s sending a lockdown alert to one building while notifying others to shelter in place or integrating live video feeds for security personnel, Lynx ensures that the right messages reach the right people.
