Increasing Campus Safety Concerns Drive AVI-SPL to Focus on Mass Notification Solutions

TAMPA, Fla., Dec. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- With the increased demand for security across college campuses, AVI-SPL's Control Room Group (CRG) is now heavily investing in delivering mass notification systems and a variety of physical security solutions.

When a disaster strikes, campus officials must be able to quickly and efficiently send out alerts with pertinent information in order to avert injury, panic, property damage or death. A properly designed mass notification system will allow for managed and zoned transmission of real time information to all building occupants during an emergency situation.

"Most college campuses didn't have solid security infrastructures in place until recent years," explains David Garner, market manager, CRG Physical Security. "And they mostly relied on email alerts to notify students and staff during an emergency. And the Internet wasn't at the same level as it is today and smart phones weren't common."

CRG Physical Security has taken steps to invest heavily into providing strong physical security solutions which includes becoming a certified dealer of the Bosch Praesideo. CRG Physical Security's customized mass notification systems are built around an open interface, allowing for easy functionality. For example, users can add a PC for advanced control through a graphic interface, or integrate a touch screen to make managing the system more intuitive for a wider range of users. Users can also integrate alarm based visualization software allowing for seamless, organized and timely responses to events.  

"The open interface removes many restrictions, so the integration possibilities are virtually unlimited," said Michael Spiessbach, market manager, CRG Physical Security. 

CRG Physical Security has a fully equipped Security Solution Lab which showcases the Bosch Praesideo mass notification solution, visualization solution, Access Control and PSIM. The CRG Security Solution Lab will open for executive briefing and security training in spring 2012. Contact a CRG Physical Security representative today to schedule an appointment. Call (813) 884-7168 ext. 2563.
