“Our desire for a better way to protect the students, staff and visitors at schools was the initial impetus for the development of the Silvershield system,” said Robin Baker, CTO, Silvershield. “Now we are expanding our focus to offer our unique solution to a wider audience, including medical-related facilities and businesses of all types.”

Designed to expedite emergency security procedures, the Silvershield Visitor Management System enables manned or unmanned visitor screening at all types of facilities. Users can check visitors’ credentials against watchlists, and the national sex offender database, in near-real-time. If there is a threat identified at any entrance, the system allows silent alerts to be sent immediately to designated stakeholders.

You can also use the Silvershield system to create temporary ID badges, identify any known VIPs upon arrival, notify your staff of VIP or other visitor arrivals, and maintain a database of visitor history. When integrated with the Silvershield ID Badge System, the system can also generate permanent ID badging for staff, students, volunteers and vendors.

The Silvershield Virtual Lockdown System alerts designated stakeholders via an audible siren sent to all users’ computers or mobile devices in case of an emergency. This siren, audible even if the users are wearing earbuds or have other applications running on their devices, instantly prompts users to take immediate action to initiate their lockdown procedures.

Other Silvershield modules include the Silvershield Incident Management System; the Silvershield Event Management System; the Silvershield Virtual Academy; the in-app Silvershield HR & Safety Resource Center which connects schools and businesses with local, highly-trained security professionals and the Silvershield Kiosk System that empowers visitors to register themselves.
