AMX announced today the release of its new AMX ResQ system for its Unified Campus Solution. AMX ResQ delivers a new approach to school safety by giving teachers a small, classroom-audio pendant – with built-in panic-button, to address the sudden conditions of a classroom threat or other emergency.

According to a press release from AMX, the solution also addresses another significant classroom problem: students’ ability to hear the teacher’s voice from any location in the room. With a teacher-worn pendant that integrates a quick-response transmitter and microphone, plus a small, ceiling-mounted infrared sensor, AMX ResQ is an insightfully designed solution that keeps kids safe and sound.

“When you analyze the circumstances a real-life threat poses for teachers, you realize they don’t have time to walk to an emergency button. They need something instant and discreet,” said Michael Peveler, AMX Vice President, Education Sales. “From any location, even outside the classroom, AMX ResQ pinpoints the location of distress and silently notifies school authorities and police.”

AMX ResQ is an optional feature of the AMX Unified Campus Solution designed specifically for schools. The campus-wide, network-based product fully integrates the control of many key campus technologies including PA/Intercom, bells, security cameras, energy management (PCs, projectors, lighting, and HVAC options), classroom technology control, classroom audio, streaming video broadcasts, digital signage and emergency alerts. It offers management of these combined technologies from a touch panel, computer, iPads, tablets and other mobile devices.
