Emergency Communications & Nurse Call Systems

Summon Aid When You Need It Most.

In the event of an emergency, being able to call for aid quickly makes all the difference. At Point Monitor, our team installs emergency communication systems in facilities across a variety of industries.

Our nurse call systems are installed in hospitals, ambulatory care facilities, and assisted living facilities across the Pacific Northwest. Our basic call systems include local pull-cord/dome light, audible and graphical annunciation, and paging. Patients' ability to communicate with nurses easily can be an issue of life and death. Our systems give peace of mind to patients and nurses so they can remain connected even when the nurse is away from the room.

Recent innovations allow adding VoIP clear communication, team-based rounding and reminders, automated room turnover, and real-time alerting and voice prompts as options with your nurse call systems. We are happy to provide guidance if you need more information on how these options can improve communication and efficiency for your medical teams.

In keeping with safety standards, new buildings often require a two-way communication system to be installed on every elevator landing above or below the ground floor. Emergency phones call a centralized master station where in-house emergency help can be reached. Should a timely response not occur, the emergency phones will contact a 24-hour monitoring facility or 911 directly.

Outside emergency phones provide an extra security layer, whether in a parking lot, college campus, or public swimming pool. Our emergency phones can be set up to contact on-site emergency help or 911.

Mass notification systems can alert thousands of people to an incident in seconds. Our mass notification systems adhere to the most rigorous specs under UL2572.

In an emergency, ensure your staff and building are connected and safe. Explore all your options with Point Monitor today!

Area of refuge / Area of rescue assistance / Two-way communication systems.

Most new buildings require a two-way communication system to be installed on every elevator landing above or below the ground floor. These emergency phones exist to allow disabled individuals to summon aid in an emergency event where they are unable to take the elevators or use the stairs. These emergency phones call to a centralized master station where responding personnel will likely be located. If a timely response does not occur, the emergency phones can be programmed to roll over to a 24-hour monitoring facility or directly to an emergency number such as 911.

Emergency Communication Systems

Emergency phones.

Whether it be a parking lot, college campus, or public swimming pool, our emergency phones can dial 911 directly or the number or extension of local responding personnel.

Mass notification systems.

What’s the quickest way to alert thousands of people to an incident in seconds? During an emergency, every second matters, and the more informed people are, the more capable they will be of making decisions to keep themselves and others safe. Our mass notification systems are listed to the most rigorous specs under UL2572. Best of all, each one is tailored to meet your specific emergency response plan.

Kaya Camilla Apt

Casey with point monitor is an amazing technician! He is very quick and knowledgeable and not only provided excellent service but also took the time to explain to me what was going on with our system. Technicians like Casey are the reason our building continues to choose Point Monitor. Thank you so much Casey!!

Максим Литвинец

Anthony Ryan

I am the Maintenance Supervisor here at The Gossamer and just wanted to take some time to share thanks with Jeremiah T. over at Point Monitor. He has helped us tremendously with getting an open circuit issue fixed after months of it giving us trouble. He is very professional and knowledgeable with what he does. I would highly recommend his services.

Grant Abel

I had reached out, as Point Monitor is a company I'm familiar with and have utilized at past communities. However, despite not being able to assist due to the equipment I had, they did point me in the direction of three qualified vendors. Can't ask for much more.

Tom Rue

Thank you Ben Breit from Point Monitor for your time today. Your company, both field and office has been the shining star of service and professionalism for nearly 2 decades. Proud to have Point Monitor as one of our subcontractors. From myself and all of Joseph Hughes Construction, thank you for taking care of our needs Ben.

Thomas Swisher

I honestly can't say enough good things about Point Monitor. This team for Point Monitor included Brook, Jon, Tawnia, and Francis. I recently worked on a new project for the New Installation of a Fire Alarm System. They were absolutely outstanding. This was for a National Account of mine, and was a rush job from the get go, with a timeframe of 4 weeks from bid proposal to commissioning the system with AHJ. The TOP-NOTCH communication, readiness for the unforeseen issues that came up, quick design and submittal process, overtime on nearly no notice, and knowledge of codes and standards were all the reasons why this project was so successful. I can't thank them enough for this. With that said, I will be using Point Monitor for any future work I get in the area. I highly highly recommend Point Monitor to anyone looking for Life Safety related system in the area.

Dorian Martin

Excellent service and professional techs. Clean, quick, and efficient!

Victor Moser

Great people, excelent service!

phillip king

Point Monitor helped me at my facility to update my fire alarm and response system. We have had an issue with some false positives sending the alarm off randomly as well as inaccurate descriptors making it difficult to locate the "emergency". The point team stayed in constant communication via phone, email, and even text whenever was needed at all hours of the day. The field team was a positive team also and were able to answer questions I asked and provide information and assistance when I would point out changes I wanted to see. I have not worked with any other companies in this field but I would not hesitate to work with Lucus at Point Monitor again. Thanks,

Corey Walker

Point Monitor has been very professional in the work they do. Answer any questions I have, and are quick to respond

John Walker

Fantastic company to work with. Very knowledgeable, efficient, and hard working crew. Couldn’t ask to work with better people.

Peter Kozarez

We have worked with Point Monitor on many jobs. Tawnia, Brook and the rest of the team are amazing. They are professional, knowledgeable, respectful and are always quick to respond. Point Monitor has done large apartment complexes and a very custom commercial building for us. They are well known by local jurisdictions as a company that is experienced and will do the job right. I highly recommend them.

Jeff Johnson

We use Point Monitor for many systems including our video surveillance systems, security, cabling and others. They are always very responsive to our request and help us implement state of the art solutions that fit our needs. The Sales staff and Techs are knowledgeable and easy to work with.

Mark Craig

I have worked with Point Monitor for close to 17 years. Through the years they have taken over the maintenance and monitoring of systems they inherited, or as we grew, they put in new panels. Their technicians are solid and there have been many occasions where they helped me out on a Saturday and were able to get my panel operational, so I didn’t need to pay for a fire watch (24/7 security guard). We communicate well and we are well taken care of. I wouldn’t work with them if we weren’t

David Slack

Point Monitor is far and away one of the most qualified fire alarm/security/ and CCTV contractors in the state. I contract or have contracted with a vast majority of the specialized low-voltage contractors in the area and Point Monitor's expertise is second to none. They are responsive, courteous, and always willing to help problem solve. I highly recommend contacting Point Monitor!

Site Manager

I hired Point Monitor to fix our security camera feed, it was blacking out on our resident floors. Spoke with Michael Beecher a real expert in his field. He sent one of his best men out to fix the problem. They did an amazing job and completely fixed the problem and cleaned up the wires. I would recommend their services to anyone.

DeLorenzo Scott

We contract with Point Monitor for many systems and have been very responsive to our needs for our Fire Panel system and door security. They are very professional and highly recommend them to anyone needing their services

Marcus Luce

I have to appreciate this company for their professionalism and the quality of work that they do, on budget. We almost were bankrupted by City Inspectors making up their own codes and having us redo our entire fire system without documentation to back up what they were requiring. We could not possibly have afforded the new system had it not been for Point Monitor coming and doing the system for a very fair price way below several other bids. We had no choice but to go with Point Monitor or go bankrupt. However, the job they did was far above expectations and we have been with them over 8 years now. The system they installed was state of the art and we always get compliments from inspectors and the Fire Marshalls. Our experience is that the technicians are very professional and knowledgable and respect our requests. I see the other reviewer talking about parking where they were not supposed to, I think it is unfair to ascribe perhaps some bad apples to an entire upstanding company that has many professional and respectful employees. I think this company represents a high value on reasonable cost compared with high integrity and quality of work.
