Campus safety, reimagined

Safety that works everywhere. Even offline.

Beacon puts your entire campus on one live safety network — students report incidents in seconds, safety teams respond from a real-time command center, and every map keeps working when the signal doesn't.

Features

Everything a safer campus needs.

From the first report to the final all-clear — Beacon covers the entire life of an incident, online or off.

Maps that never go dark

Beacon caches your full campus map — tiles, safety pins, and photos — directly on every phone. Basements, stairwells, dead zones: students still see exactly where help is, with zero signal.

Two-way SOS with live GPS

One tap opens a secure live chat with your response team — sharing the student's exact location, battery level, and medical profile in real time. Responders see the full picture before they arrive.

Medical & allergy response

Students can trigger a medical alert that notifies nearby registered responders — EpiPen carriers, first-aiders — who accept and navigate to the exact location. No dispatcher needed.

A real command center

Duty rosters, response-time analytics, live session monitoring, escalation rules, and a full data-erasure workflow — all from one dashboard. Your safety ops team has everything it needs.

Personal safety tools

Safety check-in timers that auto-escalate if a student doesn't check in. Virtual escort requests monitored by an officer in real time. Flashlight, siren, and whistle always one tap away.

Targeted campus alerts

Push announcements to all users, a specific campus, individual students, or a named building or zone. Track read receipts so you know exactly who received and opened each message.

Smart campus boundaries

Auto-detect your campus shape or draw it by hand. Beacon sizes the offline map to cover every corner and flags anything reported outside the boundary.

Find the nearest help

One tap points students to the closest emergency phone, first-aid station, or safe room — ranked by real walking distance.

Photo evidence, preserved

Every report can carry photos, stored securely and cached offline so responders see the scene before they arrive.

Role-based access & GDPR ready

Students report. Officers respond. Admins manage. Super admins oversee all campuses. Built-in data-erasure workflows and audit logs keep you compliant with GDPR and institutional policies.

How it works

From incident to all-clear in three steps.

01

Map your campus

Auto-detect your campus shape or trace it yourself. Beacon places safety pins, sizes the offline map to cover every corner, and pushes it to every phone — setup takes minutes, not weeks.

02

Anyone reports, instantly

A student sees something — they drop a pin, choose a category, snap a photo, and send. The report lands in your command center in real time, flagged for review.

03

Your team responds as one

Officers see the incident on the live map. Admins verify it, alert the whole campus if needed, and mark it resolved. Every step is tracked, every device stays in sync.

The platform

Two apps. One heartbeat.

A mobile app in every student's pocket, a command center on every safety desk — always showing the same live picture of your campus.

Security & compliance

Built to satisfy procurement, legal, and IT.

Beacon doesn't just clear the security checklist — it's designed from the ground up so the answers are already yes before anyone asks.

GDPR compliant by design

Built-in data erasure workflows let administrators wipe a user's sessions, location history, chat logs, and profile in one action. Every deletion is timestamped and logged to an immutable audit record.

Role-based access control

Four tiers — student, officer, campus admin, super admin — with zero privilege creep. Each role sees and can do only what its job requires, enforced server-side on every request.

Immutable audit trail

Every admin action — pin edits, boundary changes, announcement sends, account deletions — is logged with a timestamp and operator identity. Nothing can be quietly undone or erased.

Encrypted in transit

SOS chats, location streams, and push payloads travel over TLS. Credentials never touch your network — Firebase Auth handles the full token lifecycle, including revocation and MFA.

Offline-isolated map data

Cached map tiles and safety pins live entirely on-device. When offline, the app makes zero outbound calls — no telemetry, no third-party requests, nothing leaves the phone.

Enterprise-grade infrastructure

Beacon runs on Google Firebase — the same infrastructure behind Google Workspace, with 99.99% uptime SLA, automatic horizontal scaling, and global CDN delivery for push notifications.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Yes. Beacon caches your full campus map — tiles, safety pins, and photos — on every device. Students in basements, stairwells, or network dead zones still see the complete safety map. When the connection returns, everything refreshes automatically and only downloads what actually changed.
