IP Access Control Solutions for Education

School and campus security is a top priority for educational institutions. Incidences of bullying, vandalism, weapons on campus, violent acts and other emergencies, have forced educators to rethink the way they handle school security.

Educational institutions face multiple security challenges- from securing public buildings and events, to protecting network infrastructure and sensitive information. At the same time, educational institutions face tight budgets, limited management bandwidth, and growing operational costs.

IP-based Access Control Provides a Solution

IP-based access control provides a reliable, scalable, easy to manage and cost-effective access control solution for schools, educational facilities and campuses of all sizes.

Control and Restrict Access

Ensure the only people who can enter your schools are your staff and students. Manage who's allowed access to your facility, during the day and after-hours - from administrative offices and classrooms, to gyms and computer labs.

Protect Your Students and Staff

Protect students, staff and visitors with real-time alerts and remote facility lockdown capabilities during an emergency or unwanted event.

Manage Staff and Student Turnover

Manage permissions and credentials for students and staff centrally, and remotely. Changes in student or staff status can be immediately entered into the system from anywhere with an internet connection, including a smartphone, simplifying administrative management.

Eliminate Key Hardware Management Headaches

Remove the need for key hardware which can be easily lost, copied and shared. IP-based access control enables you to eliminate the need to re-key doors and enables you to remotely manage credentials.

Manage Multiple Doors and Locations

Simplify the management of multiple doors, at multiple locations, in multiple school districts with centralized administration.

Grant After-hours Building Access

Provide access for students, staff and visitors to various school resources such as computer labs and allow access during events-from sporting events, to meetings and fundraisers.

The infinias Advantage

infinias IP-based access control solutions provide a cost-effective, reliable and scalable management solution for school buildings and multi-facility campuses across school districts. By leveraging your existing IP network infrastructure, IP-based solutions substantially reduce costly cabling and overcome flexibility challenges associated with traditional panel-based access control systems.

Lowers Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

IP-based access control eliminates the need to physically re-key doors and offers additional cost-savings with lower equipment costs (no costly control panel or multiple bundles of cabling required), and reduced installation costs (network powered with significantly less cabling and shorter runs).

Scalable Solution

infinias access control solutions grow with your needs and your budget. Intelli-M Access software supports an unlimited number of doors, and the eIDC³² Ethernet-enabled integrated door controller enables you to add additional doors to your network at any time-from a single door, to hundreds.

No Client Servers or Client Software

Run infinias Intelli-M Access browser-based software from any web browser connected to the network (or from your smartphone or tablet), to manage your access control system. infinias eliminates the need for external client server hardware, and the inconvenience of installing client software and managing software updates.

Seamless Integration with Video Surveillance Systems

An infinias IP-based access control solution provides an integrated platform for access control, alarm monitoring and video surveillance-adding another layer of security to your facility. Video integration enables you to visually monitor your facility, as well as individuals entering to prevent "tailgating" and the sharing or theft of credentials.

Cell Phone Access Eliminates the Need for Card Credentials

infinias Mobile Credential provides convenient access control, allowing authorized users to unlock doors from an iPhone or Android phone from anywhere with cellular or wireless connectivity. Mobile Credential provides secure access, simplifies management and removes the need for physical access control cards-saving you time and money on administration and card replacement costs.

Features for Educational Institutions

Seamless integration with Active Directory

Convenient Scheduling and Calendar Integration

Each door controller/door supports up to 254 schedules with a Sunday-Saturday, 24-hour schedule that will repeat each week. Holiday sets allow you to create groups of days that are the exception to a schedule, allowing you to keep doors locked on holidays within a schedule.
