In plain language
What VOLT does, and doesn’t do.
VOLT helps school staff notice when a student needs help. It is not about watching who your child is.
What VOLT does
Helps when a student needs it
- Notices moments like a fall, a fight or someone on campus after hours
- Has a trained person check every alert first
- Tells school staff where help is needed
- Uses the cameras your school already has
What VOLT doesn’t do
Never tries to know who your child is
- Use facial recognition
- Identify students by name or face
- Decide consequences for students. Your staff and policies do.
- Add new cameras to your child’s school
A moment of need
Alone in a hallway. Help within 15 seconds.
At Prescott High School in Arizona, VOLT noticed a student having an asthma attack in a hallway with no staff nearby and alerted staff right away. Nurse response was available within 15 seconds.
This is the first time where I really have been able to be out ahead of things that are happening.

Straight answers for parents and caregivers.
If you have a question we haven’t answered, your school is the best place to start.
Does VOLT use facial recognition?
No. VOLT looks for situations, like a student who has fallen, not for who someone is.
Where are the cameras?
VOLT uses the cameras your school already has, and your school decides the rules.
Who sees alerts?
A trained reviewer at VOLT’s 24/7 Security Operations Center confirms what’s happening. Then school staff are told where help is needed.
How do I raise a concern?
Your school is the best place to start. You can also email info@volt.ai.
