Visitor Aware Watchdog

Visitor Aware Watchdog is a companion application to provide faculty and staff the ability to manage and report on incidents in real-time through Visitor Aware.

Watchdog is designed to work with your existing Visitor Aware account to:

- Immediately alert all faculty and staff in the event that an incident or drill is activated, as well as the exact location of the incident
- Allow users to report their status, and request assistance if needed
- Monitor the status of your team in real-time

In conjunction with Visitor Aware’s incident management through the administration portal, Watchdog provides immediate transparency into critical personnel safety and reporting. Emergency management staff and first responders are able to view and manage the status of all members at the location an incident is activated in real-time including map and list views showing the status and reporting history for each Watchdog user, notification history, and critical incident metrics.

An active Visitor Aware account is required in order to use this application. To request an account, contact us: https://visitor-aware.com/getting-started/
