FAQs
What is a Carehawk system and does my school need one?
1
Carehawk is a leading life safety and mass notification system designed specifically for K-12 schools. It provides instant all-call capability, lockdown alerts, and integration with 911 and security systems. Ohio schools are increasingly adopting Carehawk to meet evolving safety requirements.
How long does a school paging system integration take?
2
Integration time depends on the scope of the project. For systems using existing infrastructure and speakers, most integrations take 3 to 7 days. For projects involving new cabling runs and speaker installation throughout a building, expect 2 to 3 weeks. We schedule all work during summer breaks, evenings, or weekends to minimize disruption and provide a detailed timeline before any work begins.
Can you replace our existing intercom without rewiring the whole building?
3
In many cases yes. Modern IP-based systems can often use existing network infrastructure. We assess your current wiring before recommending an approach.
How much does a school paging system cost?
4
A basic single-building paging upgrade typically runs $15,000 to $40,000. A full IP-based system with Carehawk mass notification for a multi-building district ranges from $50,000 to $150,000+. We provide detailed quotes at no charge.
