How VOLT works

From “someone may need help” to “help is here.”

Four steps, a real person at the center, and the cameras you already have.

The four steps

One calm, clear response.

Every alert follows the same path, so your team knows what happens next.

  1. 1

    VOLT notices

    VOLT looks for a defined set of moments that may need help on the cameras you connect.

    Moments, not people

    Falls, fights, crowds forming, after-hours access, theft and visible weapons. Never who someone is.

    Works on your existing cameras

    200+ camera brands via RTSP, with no new hardware on your walls.

    A trained person checks

    Before anyone is alerted, a reviewer at VOLT’s Security Operations Center confirms what’s happening.

    Human-verified alerts

    Every alert is reviewed before it reaches your staff.

    Fewer distractions

    Your team responds to what matters, not every movement on a screen.

    The right people know

    Verified alerts reach the staff you choose, on their phones, following the escalation plan you set.

    Your escalation plan

    Choose who hears first, who hears next, and when.

    Phone, SMS or email

    Alerts reach staff wherever they are on campus.

  4. 4

    Everyone knows where to go

    A live 3D map shows exactly where help is needed, so less time is spent searching.

    See the location floor by floor, and share it with responders.

    Verified 911 notification

    For verified serious emergencies, VOLT can notify 911 automatically if your school turns it on.

    Live location updates

    If a reviewer verifies a threat, VOLT follows its movement across cameras and updates the map for responders. It never identifies who anyone is.

What VOLT notices

Specific moments, clearly defined.

VOLT looks for a defined set of situations, so alerts stay meaningful and your community knows exactly what the system does.

Medical emergencies

A student who collapses or can’t catch their breath, noticed quickly so the nurse knows where to go.

Fights & conflicts

Scuffles noticed as they start, so staff can step in early and turn a hard moment into a teachable one.

After-hours access

Someone in a closed building or a restricted area, flagged so staff can check early.

Theft & vandalism

Damage or missing equipment flagged early, instead of discovered on Monday morning.

Crowds forming

Unusual gatherings at arrival, dismissal or events, so staff can check in calmly and early.

Weapon alerts, verified by people

If a weapon appears in view, a trained person confirms it and your team knows exactly where to go.

The alert, up close

Plain language, not alarms.

Every alert says what may be happening, exactly where, and that a trained person has already checked it.

Works with what you have

Use the cameras you have. No rip and replace.

VOLT connects to the cameras and video systems you already run, and works alongside the CENTEGIX Safety Platform for coordinated response.

Genetec Axis Hanwha 200+ RTSP camera brands CENTEGIX Safety Platform

Cloud or on-premises

Choose the deployment that fits your network and IT policies.

Single sign-on

SAML single sign-on so staff use the accounts they already have.

Video archiving

Everyday footage is kept for a few hours by default. Keep incident footage longer, up to 10 years, if you choose.

Questions

Common questions, plain answers.

Do we need to buy new cameras?

Usually not. VOLT works with most IP cameras you already have, including 200+ brands that support RTSP, and integrates with video systems like Genetec.

Who reviews alerts?

Before anyone is alerted, a reviewer at VOLT’s Security Operations Center confirms what’s happening. Every alert is reviewed before it reaches your staff.

Meet the people behind every alert
What does VOLT not do?

VOLT doesn’t use facial recognition or identify anyone by name or face. It looks for moments, not people, and your staff decide what happens next.
