Priority Alerts

Emergency Alert Overrides

Take over every screen in seconds. Push severe weather, lockdown, evacuation, or safety instructions across a fleet, then return screens to normal scheduling when the all-clear comes.

Take over every screen in seconds

Daily content is valuable, but emergency content is the moment the screen network has to prove itself. A campus closure, severe weather warning, evacuation route, or facility lockdown cannot wait for someone to find the right CMS login. It has to preempt whatever is running and reach the right screens immediately.

TelemetryOS treats emergency alerts as priority overrides on the same fleet that runs ordinary digital signage, kiosks, dashboards, and wayfinding. A safety team can push a message to every screen, or to a targeted group of buildings, floors, or zones, and scheduled content resumes when the alert clears. The same device management layer that monitors menu boards, dashboards, kiosks, and room displays becomes the alerting surface when time matters.

Because TelemetryOS enables applications to connect to REST APIs, webhooks, MQTT, serial, and emergency alert feeds, integrators can build alert workflows around the systems an organization already uses. CAP-triggered severe weather alerts, facilities alarms, security desk overrides, and manual Studio actions can all drive the same visible screen takeover.

Emergency communication fails when every building has its own screen system. Corporate campuses, schools, hospitals, venues, transit hubs, and factories need one accountable layer that knows which screens are online and which message each audience should see.

TelemetryOS devices run locally and cache content, so an unstable network does not blank the screen at the exact moment people need instructions. Devices report health, proof of playback, and status to the console; authorized teams can also use the TelemetryOS iOS app for field commands and emergency overrides. Node Mini handles standard alert displays, Node Pro drives interactive kiosks and large displays, and Node Max adds local AI where teams want on-device summarization or vision-triggered workflows.

The result is not a separate emergency product bolted beside signage. It is one managed screen fleet that carries normal communication every day and priority instructions when the situation changes.
