About this app

Better cooperation and alarming of emergency response officers (ERO)

StandBy combines various functions relating to emergency response , safety and security in one system with a smartphone app. This saves investment in various sub-solutions such as a beeper, walkie-talkie and access detection or registration systems. ERO are important in organisations and this module provides a complete solution for the alerting and communication of EROs among themselves.

Presence of aid workers and employees

StandBy, using the StandBy app, monitors the presence of EROs and other safety personnel, such as first aiders and security agents. This can be used to keep track of whether a sufficient number of personnel are accounted for. The present safety personnel are displayed on a screen, for example at the reception, which prevents manual error. It is also possible to determine which EROs are located in the property. In case of an emergency, the nearest member of safety staff can be alerted. In order for this to be achieved, the StandBy app makes use of background location and continuously tracks users position in the map.

Alarms on the smartphone

StandBy alerts EROs (and other safety staff) on their smartphone through the StandBy app, even when the phone is in silent mode. Alarms can easily be sent to the EROs that are present. This can be done through the app and desktop web application for the reception, reporting room or headphone / security.

Communication through the “Walkie Talkie functionality”

StandBy gives the option to EROs and other users to communicate by voice . EROs can communicate directly through StandBy with one another on one channel to properly coordinate evacuation.

Benefits:

• Saves costs (no need for separate solutions)
• Pay per use

Available for Android, iOS and Windows Phone.
