Advancing education with integrated technology
Access control
Schools are being made safer with access control video intercoms at main entrances and intrusion detection such as door position switches, motion detection, and glass break sensors. Monitoring common areas with video analytics allows for unusual activity alerts from throughout the whole campus, day and night. School resource officers can better track direction and volume of traffic flow, crowd management, and audit trails with unified interfacing between CCTV, access control, and intrusion systems. Student ID cards with access control credentials, combined with video analytics, keep track of students on campus and ensure a match between the card issued and identity of the user. Surveillance in parking lots and outside of buildings also ensure a high level of safety and policy enforcement.Interactive Learning
As educational research advances, new focus on active learning is replacing the old, passive style of lectures to large groups. All ages benefit from hands-on engagement with the materials at hand, either physically or virtually. Interactive flat panels both wall-mounted in classrooms and mounted on mobile carts allow students to engage in both large and small groups. Wireless infrastructure and unified communications allow for a more collaborative atmosphere among students.Informational Alerts
Scheduling software and digital displays combine to keep students informed and on time. Further integrations with paging systems share critical and educational messaging with the student body and support direct communication to administrators across the entire facility. Alert systems allow for audible and visual notifications, informational broadcasts, or directions during emergency situations.
