All recipients are notified simultaneously to improve coordination.
Installation & Setup
Is RapidAlert difficult to install?
No. RapidAlert is designed for simple, do-it-yourself installation. Most units can be installed in under 30 minutes using basic tools, with no wiring or integrator required.
Does a licensed electrician need to be involved?
No. The system operates on low voltage, so a licensed electrician is not required. Simply plug the unit into a standard electrical outlet.
Where should RapidAlert devices be placed?
Devices should be installed in high-visibility, high-risk areas, such as:
- Near AEDs or first aid stations
- Production floors
- Warehouse aisles
- Break rooms
- Entry/exit points
- Eye-wash stations
Placement should ensure employees can quickly access the device during an emergency.
Can it be installed outdoors?
No. RapidAlert systems are designed for indoor use only and are not weatherproof.
Technical & Connectivity
Does RapidAlert require internet or network connectivity?
RapidAlert uses reliable communication methods including cellular backup to ensure alerts are delivered. Specific connectivity options may vary, but the system is designed to provide dependable alerting even in challenging environments.
How is RapidAlert powered?
RapidAlert includes primary power and battery backup, ensuring it remains operational during power interruptions.
Can RapidAlert integrate with other systems?
RapidAlert operates on BluePoint’s Command & Control (C2) platform, which can support integration with other systems for enhanced visibility and coordination when needed.
What happens if my internet goes down?
RapidAlert systems communicate via a cellular radio with dual SIM cards, connecting to both Verizon and AT&T networks. This ensures uninterrupted service even if your internet goes down. While the units can also be connected to a wired internet source, cellular communication remains the primary and reliable connection.
