Abstract: A display unit for an event indicator system configured to assist occupants of a venue in response to an evacuation situation includes a housing configured to be mountable to a ceiling, the housing including a first housing portion and a second housing portion coupled to and rotatable relative to the first housing portion. A plurality of light emitting elements are affixed within the second housing portion such that the plurality of light emitting elements are rotatable with the second housing portion relative to the first housing portion such that a propagation direction of light from the plurality of light emitting elements is adjustable relative to the ceiling. A processing system is positioned within the housing and configured to communicate with the sensor to receive the signal from the sensor and control at least one of the plurality of light emitting elements in response to the signal.

Abstract: An output device of an event indicator system is mounted relative to a surface such as a wall, a ceiling, or a floor. The output device includes a housing configured to mount to the wall or the ceiling. The housing includes a cavity. A movable door is coupled to the housing and is configured to transition between an open position and a closed position. A laser is positioned within the cavity and configured to project a graphic onto the surface when the movable door is in the open position. The laser is inoperable to project the graphic onto the surface when the movable door is in the closed position.

Abstract: A system is configured to assist occupants of a building in response to an active shooter situation. A plurality of sensor units are arranged in the building to detect a gunshot and generate a signal indicative of the gunshot. A processing system determines an approximate location of the gunshot based on the signal and determines safe areas and unsafe areas in the building based on the approximate location of the gunshot. A plurality of output devices are in the building and in communication with the processing system. The output devices indicate an evacuation path within the safe areas with a first graphic and indicate the unsafe areas with a second graphic that is different from the first graphic. An indicator is arranged in a room and generates a lock down indication to notify occupants to stay in the room in response to the processing system receiving the signal.
