Global and domestic terrorism is a huge problem, and companies are looking for ways to actively respond. Many companies are buying security products online and out of security magazines. Corporate management teams purchase metal detectors, buzz-in systems, surveillance\u00a0cameras, and all these great safety products that become a hindrance to daily operations. Therefore, security initiatives are often then taken away. These efforts become a nuisance to day-to-day functions. Finding solutions to a security problem should be cultivated and embraced by your facility.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is the Difference Between a Traditional and an Active Shooter Notification App?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There\u00a0is a significant problem with traditional panic button device.\u00a0This type of 911 panic button is a blanket product that usually requires a construction crew to install which interrupts daily office activities. For instance, many conventional 911 alert devices are offered through local alarm companies. The alarm company hardwires the panic devices in through your phone system to be able to send out alerts. The problem with that is, you do not know how long it takes to contact responders or if it is even working. CRS tested some old-fashioned panic systems a few years ago. We are still waiting for the confirmation to go through that the alert was received. The old school 911 alert device defaulted, and no one knew. Imagine a situation where you think the signal went through to responders and it did not. What do you guess is going to happen?<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6642  aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/TeamAlert_v2.00_00_41_19.Still015-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"380\" height=\"214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/TeamAlert_v2.00_00_41_19.Still015-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/TeamAlert_v2.00_00_41_19.Still015-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/TeamAlert_v2.00_00_41_19.Still015-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/TeamAlert_v2.00_00_41_19.Still015.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>An\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/communityresponsesystems.com\/\">active shooter notification app<\/a>\u00a0offers\u00a0security initiatives in a panic button for your company that is technology based.\u00a0There are systems in today\u2019s market that integrate internal and external notification alerts to\u00a0multiple people, using various channels ALL at the push of a button.
