School Access Control Saves Lives
With over 288 school shootings in the last 12 years, protecting the learning environment has become an ever-increasing topic of importance.
While it used to be an issue facing primarily high schools, college campuses, and universities, it has recently spread to our elementary schools and we now realize that no educational facility is immune to the dangers. The buildings are home to our most precious and most vulnerable population, and they need to be protected! Access Control systems help restrict access from the people who shouldn’t have it, and increase school security.
Secure Access
Access control systems in a school offer many benefits to the administration, the parents, the teachers, and most of all, the students! With the proper system in place your school can create a welcoming and secure environment. You can make your buildings seem welcoming throughout the campus, after access is granted to the main areas. Schools and universities can also easily provide temporary access to students, parents, and volunteers without having to give out keys to everyone who needs access.
Events and Games
Big game coming up? Schedule doors to be open for events and special programs while ensuring school security, and having access to real-time access point reporting data, and then make sure that you take the user-error out of it by scheduling the doors to lock at a specific time!
Eye in the Sky
Think about the benefits of keeping an eye on the facilities while not on campus? This is such a great asset of your system. With integrated video surveillance you will be able to deter and detect vandals and mischief before it happens.
Emergency Lockdown
The purpose of a lockdown is to provide protection to faculty, staff, students and visitors of the school facilities at the time of an emergency involving an active shooter, dangerous intruders or other incidents that may result in harm to persons inside or outside the school building. A proper system will allow you to quickly secure your facility in an emergency situation with a range of activation options, including any remote device. Keep students safe from today’s threats with a solution that supports a variety of lockdown plans and instant alert capabilities at no additional cost. Be prepared for emergencies.
Attendance Tracking
Smart systems seamlessly integrate to track and ensure only students, faculty, and guests are coming through the doors. In addition, our parent authentication for childcare pick-up is seamless and secure. Visitor Tracking is also a helpful tool - campuses are always hosting parents, guest readers, party assistants, and more. Control the access and seamlessly track who is on site with visitor management tools.
Unfortunately and unfairly, in 2022, the burden falls on the school administrators and proper planning to keep students safe from violence and illness. These challenges are not easily addressed. The proper access control system can help with both of these, those we cannot solve all of the problems that face the kids of the world today, we can take the first steps to helping keep them safe on campus.
