Man Down Alarm

With cutbacks in many social services prisons, hospital emergency rooms and long-term care facilities have to cope with the mentally ill population and often with fewer security personnel.  With an increase in attacks and often outdated monitoring systems the man down alarm has become a critical element for protecting guards and other personnel in a prison security system and in hospitals.



Prison Security System



The man down alarm must be effective and reliable. The Securalert ultrasound technology is able to find the exact location of the emergency instantaneously with 100% accuracy. When personnel security and system reliability matter most, ultrasound technology is best.  After pressing on your ultrasound panic button, inaudible ultrasound waves are spread throughout room and will reach the ultrasound receiver no matter the position. No calculation, no tracking from one event to the next, just the right room at the right moment. Your panic button does not have to be in a line of view with the receiver; the inaudible ultrasound waves will do the job no matter what and find the receiver in the room where you are at the exact moment. Ultrasound waves stay in the room and travel like sound, no obstacles will stop your voice, you can be face down or face to the wall and somebody will hear the Securalert man down alarm.    

Securalert Prison Security System

Ultrasound technology is the most effective system to detect non movement or man down. How can you have a fast and reliable emergency response system? We add a communication system between the central receiver and the warning devices. An ultrasound man down alarm takes about 5 seconds from the time you press your panic button to the time the central receiver gets the alarm. The next step is to send this alarm instantly to the people that can help as soon as possible (colleagues, intervention team or security personnel). The emergency response system must be on track all the time and be flexible and able to send the alarm simultaneously and instantaneously by cell phone, portable radio, display panel, computer with buzzer or by public or private pagers. We are talking about an emergency response system with ultrasound technology and an effective communication system.  The Securalert Hybrid System offers the best solution when a dangerous situation occurs and in less than 5 seconds.

A prison security system must also be flexible and reliable when it comes to the installation. It may be cost prohibitive to install a hardwired system in an old institution. In this case, wireless receivers provide a great solution for a prison security system. When you combine ultrasound technology with wireless receivers you get all the flexibility and reliability you need to design the best system. With ultrasound technology, the receivers can be hidden to avoid detection and our technology is energy efficient powered by a C battery with a five year life.  

With the Securalert Hybrid System you can choose between a wireless or hardwired installation. The wireless Securalert Hybrid System will regularly monitor the level of the communication signal between each component, the battery charge and the status of each device.
