Identicom
Product Information
Deliberately designed to look and feel like a normal identity (ID) cardholder, the Identicom is always with the worker and within
immediate reach:
How it works
- Pressing the “Red Alert” button generates an immediate call for assistance to the monitoring centre
- Activation is very easy and very discreet, ensuring the worker does not inflame a difficult situation
- A built in microphone in the Identicom allows sound to be recorded by the monitoring centre, so any verbal threats can be captured and used as evidence.
- To ensure discreet operation, Identicom has no speaker, and uses vibration to indicate activation to the Lone Worker
- Pressing the “Amber Alert�? button allows users to pre-record useful information, such as the address or location being visited, before the visit is made.
- An Amber Alert can be configured to start a timer. Failure to cancel or extend the timer within a set period will initiate an alarm.
- A unique ‘stop and check’ function ensures the worker verifies their ability to raise an alarm before entering a potentially hazardous situation
- A built in ‘rip alarm’ ensures that the device enters an alert status if it is forcibly removed from the wearer.
- ID cards of standard size can be accommodated, which simply slide in and out from the Identicom.
- Identicom can be configured to make calls, send texts or both, allowing the flexible handling of alarm calls
Identicom uses mobile phone technology but unlike a phone can be activated in a covert fashion thereby ensuring no suspicion is raised. Trying to use a
mobile phone to raise an alarm can often exacerbate an already difficult situation and may even be the spark that creates a flashpoint. Once activated Identicom can open a voice call to a dedicated and responsible third party point where the incident can be managed, recorded, listened to and if necessary escalated with an immediate response. Identicom can also trigger text messages to automatically be sent to colleagues directly.
Like ID, Identicom is worn either in landscape or portrait mode on a lanyard or by using a label clip. This ensures that irrespective of whether a worker has removed their coat or jacket and put their bag down, Identicom is still with them at all times. The lanyard hides a clever ‘rip alarm’, should Identicom be forcibly removed from the wearer then an alarm is automatically triggered.
Identicom will accept any industry sized ID card and can therefore be easily introduced into an organisation. If staff are already accustomed to carrying an ID card for proof of identity or for access around their working environment then Identicom causes no concerns and is unlikely to be forgotten.
There are three Identicom variants:
Bluetooth Identicom i350
The Bluetooth Identicom i350 works in conjunction with a user’s Bluetooth enabled mobile phone to provide all of the critical safety functions of Identicom without the need for a second phone contract.
Fully Integrated Identicom i750
The award winning Identicom i750 integrates all of the security functionality and communications into a single unit creating the simplest and safest solution
Identicom i770 with Man-Down
