eDispatches Display Boards are designed to project various types of information onto a monitor.  We have designed these display features to be used at a station, dispatch position or anywhere you want your information to be readily viewed.  Our newest version Display Boards have the customizable options to display the following:

  • Audio Alerts (with or without audio)
  • CAD Alerts with all of the details
  • Responses
  • Availability
  • Weather Conditions
  • Weather Radar
  • Google Calendar Import
  • Maps with Hydrants & POIs

Customizing Modes

There are two types of modes: Normal and Emergency. Each mode can be customized for your department's needs. 

Normal Mode

The Normal mode will operate when there is no current alert.

Emergency Mode

The Emergency mode will operate during a current alert. You can customize each mode to display in various sizes and positions.

NOTE: Emergency mode will displayed for the same time period that your "Response Event Time" is currently configured.  This setting is located in the portal: Account > Response> Event Expires After.

 

To begin customizing select the icon in the top right side of the display boards.
