FAQ Frequently Asked
Questions For Omnilert Gun Detection
How do mass notification systems help save lives during an emergency?
Mass notification systems save lives by eliminating critical delays in emergency response. Omnilert’s system instantly delivers alerts to everyone who needs them while simultaneously activating your existing security infrastructure—from locking doors to sounding alarms.
The automated workflows remove human hesitation and error, executing your complete emergency response plan in seconds rather than minutes. Two-way communication capabilities also enable real-time coordination with first responders and allow people to report their safety status, helping emergency teams prioritize their response.
What is the difference between emergency notifications and mass notifications?
Emergency Notification Systems (ENS) are designed specifically for identifying and responding to imminent threats to personnel safety—like active shooters, fires, or chemical spills. These systems focus on rapid threat detection and immediate protective actions.
Mass Notification Systems are broader, flexible communication platforms that handle both emergency and non-emergency situations across your entire organization. Think facility-wide announcements, weather alerts, or operational updates.
Omnilert’s platform combines both capabilities, giving you targeted emergency response and comprehensive organizational communication in one system.
What kinds of emergencies is the system designed for?
Omnilert’s system handles virtually any crisis scenario your organization might face. This includes active shooter situations, severe weather events, fires, medical emergencies, chemical spills, bomb threats, power outages, and even global health emergencies like pandemics.
The system’s customizable workflows mean you can pre-configure responses for industry-specific threats—whether that’s lockdown procedures for schools, evacuation protocols for hospitals, or shelter-in-place procedures for manufacturing facilities.
Can I set up custom messages and workflows?
Absolutely. Omnilert’s platform is built around customization. You can create multiple message templates for different scenarios, target specific groups or individuals, and build automated workflows that execute your complete response plan with a single click.
The system allows you to pre-define everything from who gets notified to which security systems activate, what doors lock, and how first responders are contacted. These custom workflows can be as simple or sophisticated as your organization requires, and they’re easily modified as your needs change.
Is the system compatible with our existing technology?
Yes. Omnilert uses an open architecture specifically designed for broad integration with existing systems. The platform connects with video management systems, access control platforms, PA systems, digital signage, mobile devices, and most other security and communication tools you already have in place.
Rather than replacing your current technology investments, Omnilert enhances them by creating a unified, automated response system. Our technical team works with you to ensure seamless integration that preserves your existing workflows while adding powerful new capabilities.
