Frequently Asked Questions
How do you handle privacy for employees who don't want to be tracked?
Our system includes an option to "locate only on alert condition." This means that location is known only when a person requires assistance, ensuring privacy.
Unless specifically requested, the tags are not equipped with GPS capability or a wide-area network connection and are designed to operate solely within the designated buildings.
Discrete tags offer significantly more privacy than security cameras, providing essential monitoring without invasive surveillance.
Remind employees that the primary purpose of the system is to enhance their safety by offering a straightforward and quick method to summon assistance when needed.
What does it cost?
For a 25,000 square foot floor, the estimated cost is around $6,000. This price is significantly lower than the typical $70,000 to $110,000 required for competitive systems, which often necessitate complex equipment and extensive cabling construction.
Do you have an API?
Yes, we provide two types of APIs:
REST Allows you to access data entities. You can retrieve, update, and manage your data using standard HTTP methods such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE.
MQTT Supports real-time streaming of alerts. This protocol is designed for fast, real-time communication and is ideal for scenarios requiring instant updates.
What is the actual battery life for the Mesh system?
A conservative estimate places the battery life of Mesh devices at three years for basic RTLS and around two years for devices with extended functionality.
Battery duration varies based on the frequency of data transmission and button usage. More precise estimates can be provided for specific scenarios.
Additionally, our system includes at-a-glance battery status reports and alerts when batteries reach a predefined threshold.
Can we monitor additional parameters like IR movement, door status, temperature, and air quality?
Yes, there are affordable Mesh sensors available for all these use cases and more. Our platform acts as a central hub, seamlessly integrating various sensor data into a single application.
