Alertus System Features & Capabilities
Monitor incidents and activate alerts from a single, powerful platform
The Alertus Mass Notification System is built on the power of the Alertus Server, and is managed through our intuitive user interface. The Alertus System is designed from the ground up to be fully flexible in its configuration of recipient groups, preset messages, user controls, restrictions, and many other points of customization. It can be built to meet your organization’s specific needs, from emergency alerting to routine enterprise communication.
Whether you’re looking to facilitate incident reporting for your staff, or full-system activation for your emergency dispatchers, Alertus has the tools to deliver immediate alerts when and where you need it most.
One-Touch Activation
No matter the number of devices or systems in your notification portfolio, being able to instantly notify all, or select individuals is crucial to effective emergency notification. Alertus’ one-touch activation provides just that. With numerous activation methods, including panic buttons, desktop activator, VoIP phones and more, you can customize your organization’s system activation to fit your specific needs. Whichever you choose, your alerts are just one-touch away.
Targeted Alerting
Ensuring the right people get the right message is critical during an emergency. Alertus offers many ways to segment message audiences, including:
Geo-targeted alerts on the fly with interactive map interface
Pre-configured alerting groups in alignment with your communication plans
User-based alerting with active directory or LDAP integration
Subscribed lists for mobile app
Grouping by buildings or functional areas
Pre-set Alerts
Easily build pre-set alerts, alerting groups, and devices to simplify the alerting process. Access to preset alerts can be based on User Roles, and alerts can be tailored to an endless variety of notification scenarios, including:
Active shooter
Tornado/severe weather
Infant abduction
Routine announcements
“Being able to setup pre-scripted alerts to fire off with one button press or one click during a crisis can really help save lives during an emergency.”
Comprehensive Reporting
The notification and monitoring component of the Alertus Server substantially increases the manageability, reliability, and visibility of the system while decreasing system testing and maintenance time.

Automated Alerting
Alertus' open API allows for easy and seamless integration with a variety of legacy mass notification technologies. This allows Alertus to unify disparate systems under one, powerful yet easy-to-use system with an intuitive user interface that offers both pre-set and on-the-fly activations that can be deployed with a single click of a button.
Automated: Active Directory integration - keep Alertus Desktop clients updated automatically and automatically monitor inbound alert feeds: CAP/IPAWS RSS/NOA/Accuweather/social media
Immediate: Physical activation buttons or software options with the Alertus Desktop Activator, and via the Alertus Activator App.
Safe, secure, Supervised
The Alertus Server is offered as an on-site solution (cloud hosting available) which offers increased reliability and security since it is dedicated exclusively to your organization and does not depend on external Internet connectivity. Additionally, data is retained on site, and leveraging existing infrastructure can often reduce costs. Notification points check in with the server periodically to determine whether an alert has been initiated and devices are active or disabled.
