The TWIG range of devices have been providing protection for lone workers in Europe for a number of years. The product is light, rugged, uses low power and is water proof to IP67. In the event of an alert, the device transmits its GPS co-ordinates providing a location fix of the user. For alarm verification, a two-way audio channel can be opened to the monitoring centre.
The TWIG Protector is now supported in Bold Communications’ Gemini platform. The lone worker alarm is presented in the Gemini software user interface in the same way as conventional alarms and CCTV alerts, letting the operator listen in to recorded and live audio as well as identify a user’s location. Geofence, which can be applied to users by schedule, is supported in the platform, with other features and management reporting. With BS8484 lone worker compliance support, Bold says that its Locator software, pictured, and TWIG Protector device now provide end to end monitoring for personal protection.
Bold Gemini monitoring software is used in commercial ARCs and private control rooms in the UK, Europe and the Middle East. Visit: www.boldcommunications.co.uk.
