Safety Simplified: A Look at BluePoint Alert Solutions (3:08 min)
BluePoint Alert Systems operate in any environment and location.
BluePoint mobilizes a patented technology solution to enable faster responses in emergency situations, providing security in any building. Education – Safety in schools has become an exceedingly prominent and sensitive topic. Government – Publicly accessible buildings while needing to protect the staff and public. Commercial – Per FBI data, nearly 50% of all armed intruder events occur in commercial spaces. Corporate – Businesses want to ensure a safe working environment for their employees. Places of Worship – In the last 6 years, hate crimes at a place of worship have increased by 40%. Medical Settings – Hospitals invest heavily in their facilities through security staff, cameras, access control, etc.
Police Alert
The familiar, intuitive, simple solution for Rapid Emergency Response Systems. BluePoint does for law enforcement what a fire alarm does for the fire department. BluePoint’s solution is unique because of the true life safety approach. The technical requirements that make the fire alarm the most reliable system in a building have been replicated in our emergency response solutions, making our communications platform compliant with FEMA’s recommendation for Incident Command Structure and Multi-Hazard Communications. BluePoint Police Alert Manual Pull Station – Strategically located pull stations provide simple alert coverage throughout your facility including parking lots, outdoor play areas, and all campus buildings. BluePoint Police Alert Wearable Mobile Devices – Wearable mobile devices act as a portable panic button police solution can be worn by your organization’s staff and building occupants depending upon the location. Be ready to act wherever you may be. BluePoint Police Alert Strobe & Audio Messaging – BluePoint notifies all occupants of a building to take precautions through strobe lights and audio messaging that reduces panic and confusion. Command&Control Portal – Once activated, the Command&Control Incident Management platform provides two-way communication through familiar mobile communication. Additional System Integrations – We met with emergency responders throughout the country and asked: What tools would be most beneficial to improving response? We learned what was truly valuable and what wasn’t, forming the creation of a highly useful solution based on actual needs. Silent Alert – Designed for protecting people at the front desk, the receptionist can remain engaged in conversation while discreetly alerting others in the facility – and police if necessary – to an escalating situation. Two-Stage Response – If desired, internal first responders are notified first. If the situation is beyond their capabilities, they initiate second-stage notification to external first responders and personnel. Sound Detection Integration – Both gunshot and breaking glass sound detection systems can be seamlessly integrated with the BluePoint Solution to provide even faster response times. Access Control/Fire Door Activation – Integration is easily accomplished through our control panel. Lock, unlock, and close doors at your discretion and direction of local law enforcement.

Unlimited number of contacts and groups
Two-factor authentication
Encrypted contacts
Opt-in Ability-if desired, individuals can choose to opt-in for notifications
Social Media-if desired, make broader announcements through Facebook, Twitter, etc.
Safeguards
The system is fully Supervised; it is continually monitoring itself and reporting deficiencies in real time.
The entire system has constant Battery Back-Up; a loss of power does not disable the system.
Redundant lines of communication; if one line is inactive, the deficiency is reported and the other line is available.
The system can only be taken off-line at the control panel; it cannot be disabled remotely.
How It Works
Once activated with a BluePoint Alert Solutions device:
Police are contacted in less time than a 911 call.
Building occupants are alerted by:
PA or phone system message
Blue strobe lights–both interior and exterior to the building.
Text, e-mail, and voice alerts are automatically sent to designated groups–employees, leadership team, etc.-with location information including a Visual Point Identification (VPI) diagram.
The command group receives a text or e-mail with a secure link to the Command & Control portal–no credentials required. In the portal, the command group can:
See the VPI diagram with all occurrences of device activations
See incoming replies to text and e-mail from the alerted groups, sorted for commonalities
View live security camera feeds from pertinent cameras
Send follow-up instructions to designated groups via text or e-mail
Distribute emergency documents manually or automatically
Medical Alert
The BluePoint medical alarm pull station was created to both complement our police alert systems and be used as a stand-alone solution.
Designed to save lives by reducing response time for both internal and external emergency responders, the solution equips responders with critical data to expedite their decision-making and ensure prompt and accurate medical assistance.
Placed in areas with higher risk of medical emergencies – lunch areas, manufacturing production areas, gyms, nurse offices, etc. – these devices alert a group of people in the building of the location of a problem as well as communicate automatically to designated medical first responders such as local paramedics.
The alert provides the precise location of the incident, allowing for quicker response time, while ensuring all those who need to be involved are notified.
Automatically contacts first responders with minimal human action – faster than a 911 call
Immediately alerts key internal individuals to medical emergency – quickly initiate protocol
Reduces medical first responders response time – address emergencies faster
Direct first responders to location with VPI diagrams and strobes
Initiates the command & control Incident Management System – Improve communications
How it’s Different
Unlike our Police Alert system, BluePoint Medical Alert:
Strobes and audio messaging are not activated
Operations continue unhindered
Texts and emails are only sent to predetermined medical responders
Notifications only go to the appropriate medical responders, not law enforcement
Where It’s Needed
Medical emergencies are a common threat and fact of life in everyday situations. Be prepared in every situation.
Eating Areas
Gym/Workout Spaces
Any Facility with AED Devices
Medical first responders need to direct their attention to the injured person-not calling 911 and giving information.
Manufacturing Facilities
Medical first responders receive a single building address. BluePoint Medical Alert provides a visual indication (strobe light) outside the entrance closest to the medical emergency.
Corporate Facilities
Clear, intuitive direction helps employees act swiftly in a medical emergency, reducing the need for training.
Large Public Spaces-Malls, Arenas, Museums, etc.
Whether or not a two-stage response is needed, BluePoint Medical Alert allows any incident witness to rapidly contact first responders with accurate location information-both the building location and incident location within the building.
How It Works
Once activated with a BluePoint Medical Alert device:
First responders are contacted in less time than a 911 call.
Provides a two-stage response. If desired, internal first responders are notified first. If the situation is beyond their capabilities, they initiate second-stage notification to external first responders.
A strobe light at the exterior door nearest the incident directs first responders.
Key individuals are automatically notified of a medical situation through text and e-mail:
Employees trained in first aid
Managers
HR department
Leadership team
A dynamic Visual Point Identification (VPI) diagram graphically shows the location of the incident within the building.
What’s Included
Pull Stations – Strategically located pull stations provide simple alert coverage throughout your facility including eating areas, gyms, or corporate offices. First responders are contacted in less time than a 911 call.
