Using Your BadgeR+
Learn how to use your BadgeR+ wearable panic button to discreetly request assistance. This video covers how to activate an alert, how you know an alert was successfully sent, what happens after activating an alert, and how to ensure the device is always ready when you need it.
Key Features
Activating a Panic Alert
The BadgeR+ offers three ways to activate it: single click for Medical Assistance, double click for a Disturbance/Suspicious Person, or press-and-hold for Weapons/Active Shooter. This means that an alert triggered by a single click will notify different individuals and send different content compared to alerts triggered by double click or press-and-hold.
Haptic Feedback
When you press the BadgeR+ panic button, you’ll feel a gentle vibration that confirms your alert has been sent successfully. This built-in features gives you peace of mind, confirming help is on the way.
Location Tracking
When you activate the BadgeR+, your location is shared with emergency responders, with up-to-floor and room number level accuracy, using your facility’s WiFi access points and BLE beacons. This information helps responders locate you quickly and deliver assistance without unnecessary delays. Location tracking stops as soon as the incident is resolved.
Rechargable Battery
BadgeR+ features a rechargeable battery that lasts about six months on a single charge, with a USB-C port for easy charging. To check the battery level, press the Battery Button and look at the three lights beside it: all three lights indicate the device is 75%-100% charged, two lights mean 50%-74%, one light means 15%-49%, a flashing light indicates below 15% and requires immediate charging, and no lights mean the battery is fully drained.

Emergency Notification System
The Emergency Notification System helps keep you informed and safe by sending important alerts and clear instructions through various channels during emergencies or critical events. These messages are integrated with our other safety tools and software. For instance, depending on your system setup, alerts may show up as push notifications from CampusShield rather than completely taking over your screen.
Get to Know Your Emergency Notification System
What to Expect
All staff members are automatically enrolled in notifications from our Emergency Notification System. No action is required. We will primarily share alerts via email, text messages, screen takeovers, and push notifications.
Key Features
Get Critical Updates Instantly
During an emergency, you’ll receive critical alerts by text, voice call, or email with information about what’s happening and how to stay safe. Messages are sent to a select group or thousands of recipients across your entire facility within minutes, making sure everyone stays informed.
Screen Takeover Alerts
Receive urgent desktop notifications about incidents. This feature lets administrators send important messages directly to your screen so you never miss critical updates. The alert will appear as a large pop up window that can be dismissed once you have read the alert.
Are you SAFE?
During an emergency, administrators can send a prompt to all CampusShield Apps, Computer Panic Buttons, and Emergency Notification subscribers, asking, ‘Are you safe?’ You’ll be able to respond by selecting ‘Yes’ or ‘No,’ helping your safety team understand where people are safe and identify areas that may need immediate attention.
Weather Alerts
If severe weather is approaching, you may receive alerts through text, voice call, or email with important updates and instructions, such as inclement weather warnings, shelter-in-place notices, or school closures. These alerts are sent through the Emergency Notification System to help keep everyone in your facility informed and prepared to act accordingly.
