BUILDING LOCKDOWN SYSTEM
A building lockdown system for a building with multiple rooms with doors providing access to the rooms, the system including smart light fixtures positioned inside and outside at least some of the rooms, at least some of the smart light fixtures configured to be selectively illuminated in each of a plurality of colors, and room lockdown components provided in the plurality of rooms, the room lockdown components adapted to block or secure the doors of the rooms against opening in a deployed condition of the lockdown components. The smart light fixtures and the room lockdown components are equipped with BLE sensors defining a BLE mesh network. The room lockdown components are adapted to communicate, via the BLE mesh network, whether they are in the deployed condition thereof, and are further adapted to provide audio and/or visual signals. At least one primary communication and control (PCC) device is disposed in the building and in communication with at least some of the smart light fixtures via the BLE mesh network. The PCC device receives information via the BLE mesh network as to whether the room lockdown components are in the deployed condition thereof. The PCC device is operative to initiate a lockdown of all or part of the building by effecting a change in the color of at least some of the smart light fixtures via the BLE mesh network and/or effecting the activation of audio and/or visual signals from the room lockdown components.
