Emergencies can happen at any time, and when they do you have to get your message out quickly and reliably. Emergency notification software products can be interfaced with third-party systems like QL, to display digital signage emergency alerts and notifications on your digital signage screens.
The QL Software Solution
Be prepared for any situation with Navori Labs’ QL Digital Signage Software. Instantly display emergency alerts and notifications on screens located anywhere in the world.
QL offers at least three methods of triggering alert content:
The first option is through a connection with a Common Alert Protocol (CAP) source. This could be a corporate office or institutional building management system. As soon as the source triggers an alert, Every QL Player triggers the corresponding content alert message on screen. The alert message can be created in QL itself or uploaded to the system. Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) is a secure and standardized data format for exchanging public warnings and emergency notices.
Navori QL digital signage software is CAP-compliant.
The second method uses the QL Server API. The device or third-party software app communicates directly with each QL Player to trigger the appropriate content. The alert will instantly appear on all affected screens.
The third method requires the creation of a middleware app that you interface with a physical device. When an emergency occurs, the device will generate a data feed. QL will use this data to trigger an alert across your screens.
The QL screen alert software is available in cloud and on-premise versions. Both are fully compatible with third-party alert systems.
How to trigger alerts and notifications across your digital signs?
When an emergency occurs, the content on your digital signage screens instantly switches from regular programming to the triggered content. This makes QL a very effective alert notification system.
Once the emergency is over, your regular programming automatically resumes without any user intervention. Setting up automated alerts is quick and easy. There is no programming or in-depth training required.
Rely on the QL alert system to keep people safe
The QL digital signage software platform supports the CAP messaging standard. Using CAP, local authorities and public emergency organizations can automatically trigger emergency messages and urgent notifications across any QL-managed display. The process is fully automated and uses QL’s rule-based conditional triggering features. Users simply define the triggering rules and select a data source to monitor. When the result is true, the corresponding content is triggered. The same method can be used to broadcast any other type of message in public and private spaces.
Trigger alerts on any screen from your smartphone
QL Mobile lets users trigger any content on any screen right from their smartphone or tablet. There is no local software to install or maintain. QL Mobile’s simple UI is delivered as a modern HTML5 app.
Simply launch it from your phone’s web browser to trigger individual content or entire playlists. When the emergency is over, switch back to previously programmed content instantly.
Target individual screens or entire screen networks from anywhere. Use QL Mobile as your own public alert and warning system on school campuses, in corporate offices or in hospitals.
Navori Labs has partnered with emergency alert notification providers from around the world to create a reliable and secure notification system. Our software has been tested and validated for any type of emergency.
