Providing Visible Security Options on Campus
Blue Light Emergency Call Boxes Prove Essential for Campus Infrastructure
Over time, the majority of college campuses have employed emergency blue light phones as an added layer of safety. While the use of these call boxes may be minimal, their purpose is here to stay. With students, parents and faculty advocating to keep the technology on campus, it is important these towers are up-to-date and integrate seamlessly back to the security office on campus.
Emergency call boxes improve campus life and keep students, staff, and visitors safe. NEWCOM works with campus decision makers to integrate the latest call boxes, equipped with a daily “health check” function, providing peace of mind confirming the system is operational.
Is It Time for an Upgrade?
Older emergency call boxes were limited by distance and placement due to hard wired requirements. NEW technology advancements like cellular connectivity and solar power allow them to be placed almost anywhere. Upgrading these older call boxes with NEW upgrade kits allows the same and improved security features and locations.
New components and features can be installed into an older emergency call box to bring it up to date with the latest technology. This is a cost-effective way modernize existing infrastructure without having to replace the entire call box or take away know locations for help. Nearly every brand of emergency call box can be easily upgraded or retrofitted with a new faceplate as well as being converted to support wireless communication, cameras, and solar power.
