The friendly system is also suitable for many other unique applications, such as providing network security for the gas wellhead in Pennsylvania.
But most of the systems they sell now are for schools, and their biggest market is the United States, which has experienced an alarming surge in school shootings in recent years.
"It has features that allow you to use them in an emergency, but it is also a daily tool," Hartill said . ".
For example, some high school systems have a function that allows them to monitor the doors that students should not be close.
If they are close, they can be warned by voice notification, and the camera can be turned on for officials to see what is happening.
In an emergency, special features can include the ability to activate sleep cameras in individual classrooms, or to listen in secret.
Communications such as evacuation commands can be targeted at specific rooms or areas and can be operated and monitored remotely by the system.
A CareHawk system can be set up in a school, or it can be connected to cover the entire area.
Hartill noted carefully that these systems are not fire alarms.
While CareHawks can handle almost any other conceivable emergency and can interact with the fire alarm system, these alarms are governed by different regulations.
In addition to being able to customize the system to the customer's needs, CareHawk has some other advantages.
Its small size is one of the biggest selling points.
"We can put a suitcase and that's the whole system," Hartil said . ".
The company is also able to significantly reduce the amount of cabling required for hard cableswired systems.
Hartill says its design eliminates about two
Three of the cabling needed for traditional systems, saving a lot of money on materials and labor.
Wireless technology is not Hartill's idea of the system, because it may have problems such as signal blocking or temporary network conditions that may hinder critical communication.
Founded in 2006, CareHawk was created by a group of former Dukane Canada employees after the company was closed in 2001.
Hartill and CareHawk operations manager Jeff Taylor initially started at the local Poetker communications company, which is located on the factory floor of the building communications system. U. S. -
Company headquarters in Duken
Purchased Poetker in 1989 and raised the price to $15 renamed Dukane Canada
Millions of companies with 90 employees.
However, the headquarters closed Dukane Canada in 2001 and transferred the business back to the United States.
The communications division was sold, triggering a series of transactions that led to ownership of Duken --
In the following years, the brand communication system shuttled back and forth between several different manufacturers.
Last year, current owner United Technologies approached CareHawk, which agreed that CareHawk would authorize the Dukane communications brand and take over the Dukane market for them.
CareHawk will make a new Duken
Same brand product as CareHawk system.
The two will coexist.
Looking ahead, hartil said he would like to see the CareHawk branch enter the "nurse call" system, which handles bedside communications on healthNursing facilities.
These are different from the facilities.
CareHawk has provided a wide range of life safety communication systems to several hospitals.
If the company stands firm in the market, health care will surpass the education industry, Hartill said.
"We can easily see that we are $50.
"In five years, several companies are still growing there," he said . ".
This could add 200 jobs to the local roster.
"There is a huge talent base to attract," Taylor added . ".
"The people we worked with years ago began to come back.
