Active Defender

## What is Active Defender?

Active Defender empowers users to send multiple threat-specific notifications, like active shooter, viewable on their floor-plan, campus map. In less than 10 seconds, all campus personnel, local first responders and 911 services are notified instantly of all critical details—regardless of their device’s “Do Not Disturb” status which the app overrides. Virtual Panic Buttons, Dynamic Chat, Photo Documentation and Multi-Campus Monitoring enhance the campus’ situational awareness and communications.
