Polygon Warning System
Polygon Warning System

With CommanderOne®, you can seamlessly activate sirens and other emergency alerts, such as text message notifications, specifically within the warned polygon. This intelligent automation ensures that warnings are tailored to the affected areas, eliminating unnecessary alerts in regions unaffected by the severe weather. This feature works with all brands of sirens. Additionally, CommanderOne® offers the ability to auto-activate for various emergencies, including tornadoes, severe weather, and flooding, providing a comprehensive and efficient warning system.

Intelligent Automations
Intelligent Automations

Improve the functionality of your siren system by integrating NWS severe thunderstorm threat categories. CommanderOne® is designed to respond effectively when severe thunderstorm warnings exceed defined parameters, such as 1.75-inch diameter hail (golf ball-sized) and/or 70 mph thunderstorm winds for a “CONSIDERABLE” threat, or 2.75-inch diameter hail (baseball-sized) and/or 80 mph thunderstorm winds for a “DESTRUCTIVE” threat. Flooding automations are also available, with NWS warnings or connectivity with our customized flood sensors.

Dynamic Zoning
Dynamic Zoning

With CommanderOne®, you can easily send alerts to specific people, groups, or everyone in certain areas. Make things adaptable and flexible by creating zones on the spot, making quick adjustments as situations change. Use condition-based groups to accurately reach your targets, ensuring that alerts match specific criteria and are delivered precisely. This feature not only makes communication smoother but also offers a flexible and dynamic way to handle alerts based on changing circumstances.

Lightning Warning System
Lightning Warning System

CommanderOne® offers enhanced lightning detection and weather monitoring capabilities, enabling users to set lightning alert points and customize alert methods for each point radius. When lightning is detected within a radius, users have the option to activate audible notifications, such as our lightning speakers or choose to send text based notifications instead. Users have the flexibility to personalize “do not disturb” hours and snooze intervals for activations, preventing over-warning or sounding alarms during the night hours.

Exclusive National Weather Service Technology

Powered by cutting-edge NWS polygon technology, CommanderOne® lets you respond swiftly in critical situations. Its integrated interface enables you to send quick notifications to your team when extreme weather watches are issued in nearby counties or trigger sirens when the National Weather Service declares a tornado warning. CommanderOne® offers both automatic and manual siren activations based on local weather conditions, using a straightforward “if this, then that” approach.

Dispatch Freedom
