IQ Onsite™ integrates SmartPhones with Campus Security to create proximity-based security App, Campus Ping

LAS VEGAS, June 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- IQ Onsite™ has developed the next level for students, faculty and campus security departments to communicate through a proprietary three-way communication SmartPhone App called Campus Ping.  

Campus Ping, one of the many divisions of IQ Onsite™, enables its network subscribers to initiate and receive targeted security alerts when deploying its proprietary software program that features wireless Gimbal Beacon transmitters (https://www.Gimbal.com). IQ Onsite will debut Campus Ping this week at the Campus Safety National Forum in Washington DC, June 25-26.

"We've created a custom App solution that provides a 'silent alarm' based on proximate GPS coordinates utilizing beacon technologies," said James Woodrow, spokesperson for IQ Onsite™. "While there are many Apps in the marketplace that offer one-way communication between a university and its students," he continued, "this new infrastructure provides a multi-tier platform for instant security alerts to be communicated to or from students and faculty immediately."

Campus Ping's Beacon and Hub network also improves the level of location identification, in particular when used inside of buildings where GPS only systems have limitations for accuracy that can delay response times. 

Here is a sampling of push notifications available through Campus Ping:  

• Faculty can press a "silent alarm" button to alert security should there be an immediate threat within a specific classroom or area.
• Campus security can disseminate a targeted alert to students and/or faculty in any area of campus. The interaction can alert users on a wide range of safety concerns including assaults, thefts, suspicious activity, other crimes or immediate danger. In addition, the system allows security to manage non-emergency requests with increased efficiency.
• Students can have direct, immediate access to security should they feel threatened, allowing the ability to report crimes or other disturbances in action, on or off-campus.
• Administration can utilize the system's direct messaging capabilities to include service announcements, evaluations, special events and other marketing messaging, making Campus Ping a daily solution for all school communication needs.   

"Campus Security is a multi billion dollar industry," said Woodrow. "IQ Onsite is poised to be an early leader in SmartPhone security and communication systems. We are making students and faculty 'security ambassadors' allowing everyone to be the 'eyes and ears' on campus," said Woodrow. 

Campus Ping will be available for Apple and Android SmartPhone users at participating colleges, universities and school districts on iTunes or Google Play. Cost to the user, whether free or fee-based, is subject to the individual terms of each participating school.
