Supplied as part of the company’s SoloProtect package, a fully managed solution for lone workers, Connexion2’s Identicom with man-down detection also includes SIM, airtime, 24/7 monitoring, training and customer support.
“We have had instances of burglary and car and cycle theft on campus,” said head porter, Simon Orr. “Therefore we felt it was important that our porters had back up in case they have to approach intruders.
“Identicom is providing the college a cost-effective solution and is ensuring that we fulfil a duty of care to our employees who feel much safer knowing that they can open up a connection to the monitoring centre for escalation involving the police if necessary, or that if incapacitated for any reason the identicom will automatically raise an alarm for them.”
Identicom is designed to enable easy wear and discreet use to open audio-calls if required through opening a ‘red alert’. The unit also has an ‘amber alert’ voice message function which is used as part of the process of assessing risks dynamically. Users leave messages regularly to give a context of where they are and what they are doing for use only if their device goes into a subsequent red alert.
