When something happens, the screens in your building are the fastest way to reach everyone at once. Press the red Emergency alert button, choose a message and the screens, and every chosen screen shows it full screen within seconds, over whatever was playing. No playlist, no upload, no approval.
Premium feature, included in the Pro and Business plans. Free plan, no credit card required. Paid plans from €5/month.
Evacuate, Fire, Temporarily closed and Disruption, with the title and text already written in your language.
Pick an icon and a colour, or your own colour; the text turns dark on a light colour so it stays readable.
All screens, per location, per tag or screen by screen. Team members limited to a location can only reach theirs.
The player draws the message itself, over content, video walls and banners, so nothing can hide it.
With Turn TVs on, a Raspberry Pi switches a TV in standby on to show the message.
After 15 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours or 24 hours, also on a screen that lost its internet. Extend or stop it any time.
A slow pulse of the background draws the eye from across a room, without a strobe that could hurt people with epilepsy.
A bar on every dashboard page shows on how many screens the message is visible right now; admins get an email.
The red button sits at the top of the dashboard sidebar, on every page.
Pick a ready-made message or your own, adjust the text, choose the screens and how long it shows.
Every chosen screen shows the message within seconds. Stop or extend it from the red bar.
An alert only reaches screens of your own account, and only people with editor rights or higher can start one. Team members limited to certain locations can only choose screens in those locations. Owners and admins get an email when an alert starts or stops, and every alert is listed in the team activity.
TVpilot turns the hardware you have into a managed screen: an Amazon Signage Stick with the TVpilot app, a Raspberry Pi with one command, a Fire TV Stick or Android TV, or simply the browser of a smart TV. One player URL per screen, managed from the dashboard.
This is a Premium feature: it comes with the Pro and Business plans. Start free with your first screen and upgrade when you need it.
Start on the free plan and stay there as long as you like. No credit card, no trial clock.
Within seconds on every screen that is online. A screen that comes back online picks up a running alert at once.
No. The approval workflow is skipped on purpose: in an emergency there is no time for a second pair of eyes. The message is drawn by the player itself, so it needs no playlist or upload either.
A screen that already shows the alert keeps showing it and still ends it at the chosen time, also without a connection.
Editors, admins and owners. Team members limited to certain locations can only choose screens in those locations.
The emergency alert is a Premium feature, included in the Pro and Business plans. On other plans the button shows how it works, with a link to upgrade.
Put an evacuation, fire, closure or own message on all your screens or a chosen few within seconds, over whatever is playing. It ends by itself, also offline.
