Welcome to the adventures of complete facility access control solutions. Enterprise security leaders and integrators face diverse mysteries here, but each can be solved with an intelligent mixture of technology, security focus and IT collaboration, seasoned with a big dose of bottom-line business benefits.
The Cobb County School District (CCSD), the second largest school system in Georgia, which serves more than 106,000 students with a total of 114 schools, upgraded access at its elementary schools with a Schlage card access control system that helps ensure security for students and staff.
With more than 600 staff members, the Spring Lake Park School District serves more than 5,100 students and their families from Blaine, Spring Lake Park and Fridley – three suburbs just north of Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minn.
While conventional credentials such as visitor passes and access devices enable physical access, the underlying issue is to verify, validate and track the individuals holding these credentials. The ability to effectively manage identities campus-wide improves security to best protect people, property and assets.
While card readers have been in use for decades, new IP-based access control systems can not only lower initial costs, but can be easier to administer and improve the level of security.
In long-term or assisted living facilities, patients often spend time in the facilities’ courtyards or gardens, and this life safety and security hardware system is designed specifically for those applications.
Thief! Intruder! Birdwatcher? Sometimes, perimeter security puts you in contact with a variety of visitors, not all of them welcome, but how does one differentiate between visitors without making a bad first impression or creating a vulnerable situation? And how does that situation change based on a facility’s location and risk profile? Three security executives weigh in on the issue.
