Title

Modular design

Each NODE is modular - the active electronics are in the upper section with the emergency lighting and sensors, while the EXIT can be used separately. A larger battery can be fitted in the bottom section for even longer emergency lighting time, such as 12- 24 hours.

Networked Emergency Systems

OUr system envelopes your buildings in an immersive network that immediately responds to emergencies.

A self-healing network with predictive intelligence

Our fundamental product is a NODE. It's a small electronics package containing a computer, flash memory, video camera, microphone, speaker, and a choice of sensors powered by a high-tech recyclable battery. It sees, hears, talks, senses dangerous gasses as well as heat and movement, runs when the power is out, and lights up the local area and tells you how to get out of harm’s way. It is as smart as your cell phone and it talks to other NODEs, swaps video and audio, and keeps records – an audit trail. It also contains data for special users, things like building plans, plumbing, wiring, space drawings - whatever is of value to someone trying to save lives and save the building. In a specific way, NES ponders its place in the building’s “world;” it’s always alert for change in its space, and even small changes get its attention.By using a smart phone or tablet (or any web browser) we bring all the NODE’s sensory data to a user.  In total safety we virtually extend the user to the NODE’s “reality” in the your building. We embed our NODE into an appliance that the law says has to be at every exit point in a building – the emergency lights. This is an appliance the owner of every building must have. He has to provide power, has to have inspected, and he has to pay for it. On the back of this mandatory investment we inject our NODE; a tremendous additional value for an incremental cost.

As a self-healing MESH network, the NODEs share data and images, everything is distributed throughout our system. If, during a disaster, you loose 1, 2, 3, or even 28+ nodes, the others adapt and continue their work. The NODEs see the building as a whole body and present it to the user as a single graphic for easy and intuitive understanding by people who are quite busy when they need to have the information NOW. Our NODE system can spot threats very early, assess them, compare them, and pre-alert based on what it sees trending. In addition, the network is connected to the web, backed up and monitored in the Cloud​.

In Practice

One example: a Fire Chief can look at a fire before he gets to the building. Checking our data, they can look at the past to see how it got there, look at the floor plan, plan the building defense, start directing occupant’s escapes - all on the way to fire. Management can check on, see and listen and talk to, everything going on at the access points​. The NODE system is a special kind of machine commune. Each NODE knows what to do given its location in an emergency and will adjust to best assure the survival of the system if damaged, and the ability for users to get alternative web access and outside communications​.
