Whether it’s a lockdown or weather-related event, Conductor can trigger alarms, lock doors, display evacuation maps, and broadcast clear instructions instantly. With a single command, schools can issue alerts across all networked devices, ensuring quick, coordinated responses both on and off campus. This comprehensive system empowers schools to maintain safety and security in any situation.

With its user-friendly design and robust communication features, ezRoom Voice & Alert with ELEVATE enhances both classroom learning and school safety.
