IntelliSee + Singlewire InformaCast: Campus-Wide Alert in Seconds
When IntelliSee detects a threat, InformaCast pushes the alert to every IP phone, desktop, PA speaker, digital sign, and mobile device on campus — simultaneously. No call trees. No manual triggers. Every building notified within seconds.
The Problem
Campus Notification Still Depends on Someone Pressing a Button
Most campus mass notification systems are powerful — once activated. The bottleneck is activation itself. Someone has to witness the threat, assess the severity, locate the notification interface, select the correct zone and message, and press send. In an active threat scenario, those steps consume the minutes that matter most.
IntelliSee removes the human activation step. The AI detects the threat. InformaCast delivers the notification. The entire pipeline — from weapon on camera to campus-wide lockdown broadcast — runs without a single manual input.
Manual Activation
- Staff member sees or hears threat
- Calls security or admin office
- Admin accesses notification panel
- 3-7 minutes before campus alert
IntelliSee + InformaCast
- AI detects threat on camera
- InformaCast scenario triggered
- All channels fire simultaneously
- Under 10 seconds total
How It Works
Detection Triggers Notification Scenarios
InformaCast uses “scenarios” — pre-configured notification packages that define which channels fire, which zones receive the alert, and what message is delivered. IntelliSee maps each detection type to a specific scenario.
01
1. Camera Feed Analyzed
Existing IP cameras stream to IntelliSee’s on-premises appliance. Computer vision models process every frame for weapons, intrusions, falls, and other configured threat types in real time.
02
2. Scenario Triggered
When a detection exceeds your confidence threshold, IntelliSee fires the mapped InformaCast scenario — selecting the correct notification channels, zones, and pre-recorded messages for that specific threat type.
03
3. Campus Notified
InformaCast delivers the alert across all configured channels simultaneously: IP phones display visual alerts with audio override, PA systems broadcast voice messages, digital signs switch to emergency mode, and mobile devices receive push notifications.
Notification Channels
Every Device. Every Building. Every Person.
InformaCast reaches people through the devices they are already near — phones on desks, speakers in hallways, screens on walls, and phones in pockets. No single channel is a single point of failure.
Cisco IP Phones
Visual text alerts and audio override on every desk phone across campus.
Desktop Pop-ups
Full-screen computer alerts that override active applications.
Digital Signage
Lobby, hallway, and classroom screens switch to emergency messaging.
Overhead PA
Pre-recorded voice broadcasts to ceiling speakers and outdoor horns.
Mobile Push
InformaCast mobile app delivers instant alerts to staff smartphones.
Email & SMS
Backup channels ensure reach even for staff without IP phones.
External Sirens
Outdoor warning systems cover parking lots, courtyards, and athletic fields.
RSS Feeds
Alert data published to RSS endpoints for integration with third-party dashboards.
Detection Mapping
Each Threat Gets Its Own Response
IntelliSee maps each detection type to a specific InformaCast notification scenario. A weapon detection triggers a campus-wide lockdown broadcast. A fall detection triggers a localized medical response alert. The response matches the threat.
| Detection Type | InformaCast Scenario | Typical Zones |
|---|---|---|
| Weapon Detected | Campus-wide lockdown broadcast | All buildings, all floors |
| Unauthorized Access | Security team alert + zone notification | Affected building + security office |
| Fall Detected | Medical response alert | Nearest nurse station + floor |
| Loitering Alert | Security patrol notification | Affected perimeter zone |
| Crowd Anomaly | Crowd management alert | Event area + security command |
Deployment Note
Built for Cisco Environments — Works Beyond Them
InformaCast delivers its richest notification experience through Cisco Unified Communications infrastructure — visual alerts on IP phone screens, audio override on handsets, and Cisco-native call manager integration. But the platform extends well beyond Cisco. Desktop clients, the InformaCast mobile app, overhead PA, digital signage, email, SMS, and external sirens all function independently of Cisco hardware. If your campus runs Cisco phones, you get the full experience. If it does not, you still get multi-channel mass notification triggered by IntelliSee’s AI.
FAQ
Singlewire InformaCast Questions
What notification channels does InformaCast support with IntelliSee?
InformaCast delivers IntelliSee detection alerts through Cisco IP phones, desktop pop-ups, digital signage, overhead PA speakers, mobile push notifications, email, SMS, and external sirens. Any combination can be triggered simultaneously per detection type and zone configuration.
Does InformaCast require Cisco phones?
InformaCast works best with Cisco IP phone infrastructure but also supports non-Cisco endpoints including desktop clients, the InformaCast mobile app, email, SMS, overhead paging, and digital signage. Cisco phones provide the richest notification experience with visual alerts and audio override capabilities.
Can different detection types trigger different notification protocols?
Yes. IntelliSee maps each detection type to a specific InformaCast notification scenario. A weapon detection can trigger campus-wide lockdown messaging while a fall detection triggers a localized medical response alert to the nearest nurse station.
How does InformaCast handle multi-building campuses?
InformaCast supports zone-based notification across unlimited buildings and floors. IntelliSee’s camera-to-zone mapping ensures alerts reach the correct zones first, with configurable escalation to campus-wide broadcast based on threat severity and detection type.
Does the integration require cloud connectivity?
The core IntelliSee-to-InformaCast pipeline operates on your local network. InformaCast’s mobile and SMS channels require external connectivity for those specific delivery methods, but on-premises channels like IP phones, PA, and desktop alerts function without internet access.
