Lockdown

Intelligent Lockdown Systems
for Schools and Critical Facilities.

When a threat emerges, time matters. A lockdown must activate instantly, communicate clearly, and coordinate multiple systems in real time. Digital Provisions designs intelligent lockdown solutions that protect students, staff, and public spaces from active threats — without delay or confusion.

We help you implement full or phased lockdown strategies, integrating with your existing infrastructure and allowing your system to grow over time.

Lockdown Can Be Triggered From:

  • Wall-mounted or hardwired emergency buttons
  • Smartphones or tablets
  • IP phone hotkeys
  • Computer shortcuts or video management software
  • Wearable panic badges
  • Lockdown-enabled card readers or credential cards
  • Integrated visitor or notification systems

What a Lockdown Activates

A proper lockdown system unifies hardware and communication into a single, decisive response. Common actions include:

  • Securing the Environment

    • Locks exterior doors and restricts card access (except for first responders)
    • Wirelessly secures classroom doors when applicable
    • Monitors for doors left ajar and alerts staff instantly
    • Disables visitor intercom systems
  • Mass Notification

    • Pre-recorded messages play through PA/intercom systems, including Axis C1710 display speakers
    • Custom lockdown messages appear on desktops, IP phones, and digital signage
    • Text and email alerts are sent automatically to staff and administrators
    • Integrates with emergency notification platforms like Alertus, RAVE, and visitor systems like Raptor or Verkada Guest
  • Surveillance & Monitoring

    • Surveillance systems feed live video to administrators and first responders
    • Access events are time-stamped and logged for review

Lockdown vs. Lockout: Know the Difference

Lockdown secures individuals inside the building during an internal threat — locking doors, minimizing movement, and notifying authorities.

Lockout protects from external threats by securing the building perimeter, continuing normal activity inside while keeping the threat out.

Both are essential, and our systems support layered protocols based on your school or facility’s risk profile.
