Be emergency ready: secure your education facility in seconds

It goes without saying that education facilities, must guarantee a safe and secure environment for students and teaching staff. Be that as it may, achieving a high security standard is not as straightforward as it may seem. The challenge is achieving a combination of adequate high security level in an education facility, while maintaining a sense of open and welcoming space without visible, cumbersome access restricting devices.

In today's world, education facilities face many threats that include entry of unauthorized guests or even perpetrators seeking to inflict harm on the students and staff.   

By implementing an access control system, schools are able to verify and confirm the identities of individuals entering their facilities. Access permissions can be setup to monitor and restrict access to specific areas by identifying staff, pupils, and contractors. In the event that school access control systems are breached by those without access rights, the school may be locked down, depending on the perceived level of threat, instantaneously securing the facility, allowing the security staff to evaluate the situation.

Our SMARTair access control system now offers an additional, brand new LOCKDOWN functionality, designed for schools, colleges, universities, as well as hospitals, clinics, laboratories and high traffic office buildings, for an instant security boost in case of an imminent threat of fire, intruder, or a terrorist attack.

      

With LOCKDOWN initialized, you can choose one of three options: Emergency Open, Close or Block every access in response to the emergency, helping to keep everyone at the facility safe, whilst allowing the security staff to deal with the emergency.

Lockdown can be activated in a number of ways:

  •          Software TS1000
  •          Web Manager
  •          Emergency Button or Signals from fire/alarm system

Predefining safe areas ahead of time allows you to make quick, accurate, tailor-made decisions in an emergency.

When choosing SMARTair Wireless Online management system, Lockdown is easy and cost-effective to install, no cables or wires needed.
