3 Reasons Why Your School Needs an Access System

When it comes to keeping a school building safe, some administrators only turn to surveillance cameras to ensure the safety of the perimeter. While this is certainly an important part of any security system, you should never overlook other security devices, such as an access system. By integrating a high-end access control system, you can effortlessly manage who can enter which spaces and ensure the safety of your students, teachers, and staff.

In this blog, we will explore a few benefits of adding an access control system to your Austin, TX, school building —take a look!

Deter Intruders from Entering Your Spaces

The safety of your students and personnel should always be a priority when investing in a new security system. An access control system is one of the best ways to protect your school perimeter from intruders, as it allows you to effortlessly manage entrance and exit activity. In addition, our system notifies you whenever someone tries to access the campus after hours, helping you provide or deny access with the simple press of a button. 

Are you having a dangerous event inside your school already? Our access control technology is a great tool to help you contain the situation while law enforcement arrives, ensuring threats stay limited to certain areas. 

Prevent Vandalism and Theft

Not all the security challenges a school faces involve violent crime, but an access control system is a great way to tackle them regardless. Our technology allows you to limit access to certain areas to authorized members, minimizing the risk of theft. For example, you can let your science teachers enter the school’s lab during the day and block access to everyone once the school day ends. Ensuring your spaces and the school’s assets are secure has never been easier! 

Keep Private Records Safe

The privacy of your students and staff should be protected at all costs, and an access control system is the perfect way to ensure this happens. With an access system, you can provide entry only to a few members of the staff, such as yourself, the school’s counselor, or the principal to rooms with sensitive information. We have a wide range of access control solutions you can choose from, such as pins, keycards, and biometrics. Our team of experts can work with you to decide which works best for your unique needs so that you can rest assured every area on your campus is always protected.
