Help, on the way sooner.
When a school notices someone needs help, the responders who serve it should know right away. VOLT turns the cameras your community already has into verified alerts with a clear picture of where to go.

Already working alongside responders.
Ashtabula County Sheriff’s Office uses VOLT at the county courthouse, and districts like Loudoun County Public Schools work with their local responders.
The same response, two sides
A school’s alert is a responder’s head start.
Schools and the agencies that serve them work from the same verified alert.
At the school
Help starts right away
- A trained person verifies what’s happening
- The right staff are alerted, following the school’s plan
- Everyone sees where help is needed
- It uses the cameras the school already has
For responders
A head start on where to go
- A verified alert, not a raw camera feed
- The location on a live 3D map
- Live location updates if a verified threat moves
- Alerts that follow the plan you agree with the school
- Optional verified 911 notification for serious emergencies
How it works
From noticing to arriving, in four steps.
A person checks every alert before anyone is notified.
- 1
VOLT notices
A person down, a fight, someone after hours or a visible weapon on connected cameras.
- 2
A trained person checks
A reviewer at VOLT’s Security Operations Center confirms it before anyone is alerted.
- 3
The right people know
School staff and SROs you choose are notified by phone, SMS or email. For verified serious emergencies, 911 can be notified automatically if your agency or school turns it on.

Everyone knows where to go
A live 3D map shows exactly where help is needed.

Accountable by design
Clear about what VOLT does, and doesn’t.
Your residents deserve plain answers. Here they are.
What VOLT does
Helps responders help people
- Notices specific situations, like a person down, a fight or a visible weapon
- Sends alerts only after a trained person has verified them
- Shows where help is needed
- Lets you choose cameras, recipients and retention
What VOLT doesn’t do
Built with firm boundaries
- Use facial recognition or biometrics
- Identify who someone is
- Give anyone access to cameras you haven’t connected
- Sell your data or share it beyond the providers that run VOLT
- Dispatch responders or replace your 911 center’s decisions
We believe AI shouldn’t drive a response without a person in the loop. Every VOLT alert has one.

Questions
What agencies and communities ask us.
Straight answers for chiefs, sheriffs, managers and residents.
Do you use facial recognition?
No. VOLT notices situations, not identities.
Can VOLT be used to follow a specific person?
VOLT doesn’t identify who anyone is. If a verified threat is detected, it can follow that person’s movement across cameras so responders know where to go.
Who reviews alerts?
A trained reviewer at VOLT’s Security Operations Center, before anyone is notified.
Is VOLT CJIS compliant?
Ask us for our current CJIS status and security documentation.
