ReACT! FAQ's

Find answers to frequently asked questions about ReACT!’s features and functionalities.
How fast do the signs show the alert message from the time an alert is activated?

This depends on your local server speed; however, in the majority of cases messages are communicated within 1 second. With an ACT-ONE Controller, activation time is less than 1 second.

How fast does ReACT! lockdown a door?

A lockdown can be preprogrammed to activate as soon as an alert is issued. For example, if there is a shooting, ReACT! can show the alert message and lock the door at the same time.

What happens if there is a power failure?

An on-board backup battery powers the ReACT! in cases of power failures. The backup battery will power the ReACT! for 48 Hours on standby mode and 2 hours on Alert Mode.

Can it be powered by power over ethernet (POE)?
