Education

Common issues associated with educational facilities, which are often multi-site, include vandalism and disruptive behaviour, incursion from unwanted visitors and managing access levels. Not only are the typical security measures of surveillance and access control necessary for the protection of the student population, but also broad area real-time notification to student and faculty of an immediate danger is required. Special types of access controls for Student Housing and Special Events are common. Student ID’s that also serve as access control credentials. Data integration with student databases and use of mobile card readers at school events have also become commonplace. All of these issues and more can be addressed using integrated solutions customised to suit your needs.

Integrated Access Control and Video Surveillance

Security Access Control and Video products can provide complete integrated solutions for synchronizing Alarm Monitoring and Video surveillance. Using mobile alarm monitoring stations, staff can respond while viewing real-time video of an emergency situation. Access Control systems can lock down campus and only allow entry to personnel in a crisis. Alarm messages can be broadcast over multiple annunciation technologies such as text messages, graphic displays, and even over existing fire alarm voice annunciation panels. Any unauthorised access attempts or movements in predefined fields of view will trigger an alarm that will be captured by cameras and then recorded onto the Digital Video Management System. Even non-door devices such as podiums with electronic equipment inside, can be controlled by cards to restrict access and protect assets. There are technologies available that allows faculty members to unlock and disarm classrooms on command without keypads or alarm panels. This is totally dependent on the solution that our client requires. Such as using our partner’s wireless mobile card reading solution, student and faculty ID’s can be checked for authorised entry to sporting and other events at different locations. The card record database can be automatically updated by the master database.
