With one simple Alert Button, ConnectProtect℠ gives Hampton University students, faculty and administration can instantly contact campus law enforcement to speak with them and simultaneously provide their exact GPS-tagged location, enabling Hampton University law enforcement to better respond to their needs.

PirateProtect℠ also provides “Activation upon Release” fail-safe technology for use when walking to/from locations – particularly at night when it isn’t practical to affirmatively activate an alert.

PirateProtect℠ provides powerful, instant, 2-way, GEO-tagged communications between students and Hampton University law enforcement.

Placing General Alerts

The user PRESSES the Red Button Alert and then releases it within 2 seconds. If you do not cancel within the 5-second countdown, a 911 call will commence and your exact GPS location will be provided to campus police.

Walking to/from a Campus Location

The user HOLDS down the Red Alert Button continuously until they safely reach their location, then they release the button and cancel within 5 seconds. If you are disabled and cannot CANCEL within 5 seconds, a 911 call will immediately commence and your EXACT GPS location will be transmitted to Hampton University police.

Continued use of GPS running in the background can decrease battery life.
