1. Features & Benefits

 

ComTekk SafAlert makes use of the computer sound card and software DSP (Digital Signal Processing) techniques to listen for specific audio tones, such as a fire dispatch single or two-tone paging sequence followed by voice instructions. These dispatch signals, commonly referred to as "alarms", "alerts" or "tone-outs" are typically used to alert fire and EMS personnel via 2-way radio. SafAlert users are alerted by audio/visual signals on the computer, as well as email [MMS] and text message [SMS].
