Emergencies don’t wait – neither should your response system.
Traditional 911 calls rely on manual voice descriptions and third-party relays. RapidSOS, installed and managed by Sentry Security, eliminates this delay by sending life-saving, situational data directly to 911 responders in real-time.
For Illinois property owners, this isn’t just a tech upgrade—it’s a liability reducer, a compliance enhancer, and a life-safety imperative.
What Is RapidSOS and How It Changes 911 Forever
RapidSOS is a secure, nationwide data platform that sends critical emergency data—location, medical info, building layout, and more—directly into 911 centers, bypassing traditional call-only limitations.
Traditional 911 Process:
- Caller describes emergency
- Dispatcher verifies info
- Time lost in verbal-only exchange
RapidSOS Process:
- Emergency triggers data signal
- Instant transmission to 911 centers across Illinois
- First responders receive real-time visual + contextual intel
Sentry Security is a certified integrator of RapidSOS in Illinois for residential, commercial, and government applications.
