Condos & Residential Buildings

Lobby and elevator screens that keep residents informed.

Property managers and building administrators publish announcements directly to lobby and elevator screens - without any design work. Announcements cycle automatically, carry urgency levels, and expire on schedule. No one has to log back in to remove them.

Urgency Levels

Every announcement gets the visual weight it deserves.

Three urgency levels let residents instantly understand how important an announcement is - no reading required.

Info

Routine notices - package deliveries, amenity hours, community events, and general updates.

Warning

Planned interruptions - elevator maintenance, scheduled water shutoffs, pest control, construction noise.

Urgent

Time-sensitive situations - emergency water shutoff, safety notices, unexpected access restrictions.

How buildings use it

A property manager posts a "Water Shutoff - Saturday 9am–2pm" notice marked Urgent. Within 30 seconds it appears on every lobby and elevator screen. After Saturday, it expires automatically.

A package room notice appears every Monday morning and auto-expires Sunday evening - set once, runs every week without anyone touching it.

A property management company with 12 buildings pushes a single portfolio-wide maintenance notice that appears on all buildings' lobby screens simultaneously.

FAQ

Common questions

How do I post an announcement to my building's lobby screen?

Log into the Atracast dashboard, go to your building, click "Add Announcement", fill in the title, urgency level, optional body and image, set an expiry date if needed, and save. The announcement appears on all lobby and elevator screens within 30 seconds.

What urgency levels are available?

Three levels: Info (blue) for routine notices, Warning (amber) for planned interruptions like maintenance or water shutoffs, and Urgent (red) for time-sensitive safety notices. Each displays with a distinct color so residents immediately understand the priority.

Do announcements expire automatically?

Yes. Set an expiry date and time when creating an announcement. When that time passes, the announcement disappears from all screens automatically - no one needs to log back in to remove it.

Can I manage multiple buildings from one account?

Yes. Each building has its own announcement board in the dashboard. A portfolio admin can post a single notice to all buildings simultaneously, or manage each building independently.

What screens and hardware does it work on?

Any display with a modern web browser - smart TVs, commercial lobby screens, Amazon Fire Sticks, Raspberry Pi, or Chrome sticks. No proprietary hardware required.
