​BellMinder is a fully automatic school bell system that is used to solve the common daily problem of ringing a bell on time every time and only when required. Unlike other School Bell Systems on the market, BellMinder is a custom developed School Bell System specifically designed for automating school bells, from the most basic schedules to the most complex. A full year time schedule can be implemented in minutes and schedule changes in seconds. BellMinder has a unique School Bell Program that's based around a clear, easy to follow year planner format. It enables you to assign multiple reusable schedules, using your office PC, by days, weeks or months. Whether your school operates a manual system, audio based, industrial electronic timer or is controlled by your Alarm company, BellMinder beats them all with accuracy, functionality, ease of setup, flexibility and running costs. You can even activate our 'School Lockdown' feature to respond to emergency incidents that can occur in modern schools.

Why Switch To BellMinder - When I have my own Bell Ringing Solution? Below is a list of common solutions and their associated problems that BellMinder WILL solve

{Your Current Solution} "We ring the bell manually and it costs us nothing:"

• {Problem} Although on the surface this would seem like a very economical 
  solution - calculations have proven that by the time you calculate the lost productivity and time associated with the continual tie of ringing a bell, BellMinder will pay for itself in a matter of months!
• {Problem} Despite the best efforts of staff/students ringing the bell - it doesn't ring on time for a large percentage of rings.

{Your Current Solution} "We have an electronic timer already."

• {Problem}Most are seven day timers that are not Daylight Saving or Leap year aware.
• {Problem} Techenz believe that we have the ONLY bell ringer in the market that can handle all required scenarios. Most School Bell Timers or Software do not handle Snow Days or Rain days (or a multitude of other ring scenarios) or being able to schedule ahead 14 months. 14 Months may sound like an unusual number but once again this is based on industry investigation. Most schools schedule the year in advance and don't want to have to worry about the bell during the end of year holiday period - BellMinder lets you ignore the bell during the busy start-up period right thru to the end of February.
• {Problem} Programming a traditional timer is quite a time consuming and frustrating process - we can schedule an entire year in only a few minutes.

{Your Current Solution} "We have a PC based Solution"

• {Problem} A PC based solution has inherent reliability issues. Everyone who uses a PC knows the associated reliability issues - a single reboot/crash could/will cause havoc on a ring schedule.
• {Problem}The PC is usually dedicated to the task, so to save money the oldest PC is used, which is a high point of failure. Then no-one wants to touch it.
• {Problem} During power cuts the schedule loses reliability. Someone needs to remember to switch it back on.
• {Problem}Audio based solutions are the most expensive to implement and less effective than Bells. Playing sounds or voice from outside is usually distorted from within a classroom of noisy students. This makes it a low ROI.

Think of how useful some of these features will be:

• With BellMinder you are no longer limited to just daily timetable schedules. Now you can configure in sports day activations, exam schedules and parent teacher interviews. In fact any event that you can think of can be programmed in seconds.
• With BellMinder you can implement alternative schedules that run in the background and can be called into service at the press of a button.
• These are especially useful if you run Snow Day timetable or a wet day time table. No need to remember to switch back to the main schedule for the next day - BellMinder automatically takes care of that for you, BellMinder has an emergency situation alert feature.
• Automatically daylight savings and Leap Year aware You can even print hardcopies for school and staff notice boards.
• This School Bell Timer can operate independently of the PC once programmed.
• BellMinder can maintain schedules for many days during a power loss.
