Nevada college adds Knightscope Blue Light Towers for student safety
Knightscope, Inc., an innovator in robotics and artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies focused on public safety, today announces a new contract from a college in Nevada for 8 of its K1 Blue Light Towers. Each of the devices will be powered by integrated solar panels enabling completely wireless operation, with mass notification speakers and faceplate cameras. To maximize the performance and capabilities of the system, the client also subscribed to a full-service maintenance plan and the Knightscope Emergency Management System (“KEMS”) software that will monitor the status and activity of the Towers across the campus.
College campus safety is a top priority that ensures a secure and enjoyable environment for students, faculty and visitors. Emergency communications play a vital role in that mission by providing an extra layer of protection with reliable, one-touch access to services such as police, fire and EMS. Those on campus are encouraged to use the new Blue Light Tower without hesitation in times of danger, personal crisis, medical emergencies, to report suspicious behavior or activities, or for accidents.
The familiar blue illuminated towers are a very reassuring sight when emergency services are needed. They work day and night in all weather and even when communications are most congested. Blue light emergency phone systems also always report one’s precise location reliably, ensuring the expedited arrival of the appropriate type of help.
KEMS sends out immediate text/email notifications whenever a help button is pressed for an added measure of safety. The cloud-based application also provides system owners automated daily email reports on the operational status of their system rather than having to manually test each device in person as required by competitive products. Alerts concerning issues, real-time error detection/diagnostics, and system performance statistics are delivered to the client to maximize system operation and usability.
