Why IT Pros love Pinpoint

Technology that stops workplace violence

The traditional technology used to combat workplace violence is to install panic buttons. Unfortunately, panic buttons do not reduce the number or severity of workplace violence incidents. Pinpoint’s de-escalation technology℠ adds functionality that empowers your staff to stop workplace violence by providing them with a way to get help BEFORE an aggressive individual becomes violent.

FAQs by IT Pros

Does your system rely on our network infrastructure?

No, our system is a standalone system that will function independently of your network. However certain features like mobile alerting and incident logging will require network connectivity.

Will your system always send responders to the correct location?

Yes, our system is extremely accurate because we use technology that:

  • doesn’t bleed through walls
  • doesn’t rely on Wi-fi triangulation
What do you need if anything from the IT department?

We need a designated multicast VLAN with internet access.

How reliable is your system?

Our system is reliable because it is designed as a life safety system, like a commercial fire alarm system. All system infrastructure is hardwired.

How does your solution integrate with other security technology?

We can control other technology via Pinpoint’s Relay.

What happens if we lose power?

We have redundant power sources. We have a backup battery in addition to being powered by your emergency power source.

Is the system scalable?

Yes, the system can work in a standalone environment with as few as ten monitored areas and can be expanded to work across multibuilding facilities with thousands of monitored areas.

What level of ongoing maintenance is required?

Very little maintenance is required. The ID badge holders require battery changes every few years, depending on usage.

What level of end user training is required?

The end users will get trained to use the badge during the implementation. We also have training videos available on how to use the badge. 

How will this solution impact the workload on our IT staff?

After initial set up there is no impact, there is no IT support required.

What technical support is provided?

24/7 tech support is available.

Will medical equipment or construction materials used in our facility interfere with your technology?

No, our system will work reliably in all healthcare environments.
