We recognise the major security concerns within the Education sector and provide tailored solutions to meet your specific site requirements. Our solutions are installed across many campuses internationally providing a more secure environment for staff and students.
Ranging from simple access control systems, through to fully integrated security solutions that can control and monitor numerous remote sites and campuses. Our Symmetry Security Management Solutions are fully scalable – from one school or University to an entire campus with remote buildings. The Symmetry System can evolve as your requirements develop and be extended or upgraded in line with your needs with minimal disruption to daily life.
What’s Your Greatest Security Concern?
Secure area access control
Where access to buildings or departments are limited or controlled, the Symmetry Security Management System can use biometric fingerprint readers which will add an extra layer of security, by ensuring it is definitely the right person entering. Alternatively using the partition feature, allows individual departments to assign specific access rights for students and staff.
Anti-social behaviour
The Symmetry solution addresses the issues of anti-social behaviour with a comprehensive feature-set dedicated to the needs of the campus environment. Using cutting edge video technology ensures anti-social behaviour is captured and in some cases pre-empts the crime actually taking place.
Universities have adopted simple card colouring schemes to identity students who persistently misbehave. They are immediately identifiable by the specific colour coding on a system easily employed using the Symmetry Security Management System.
Theft prevention
Complex campus environments and weak perimeters ensure theft is prevalent. Symmetry Security Management System reduces the risk by making sure non-authorised staff and visitors are unable to access key areas. Where theft does occur, camera views can quickly be studied in real time or as part of an investigation.
Foreign student legislation
To address the recent UK Border Agency legislation, the Symmetry Security Management System has a number of reporting features to monitor foreign students. e.g. obtain a print off of student cards that have not been used in the previous month.
Student & staff safety
The Symmetry Security Management System takes the safety of the students and staff as priority and with the tightly integrated access control and video solution, any situation can be monitored before an incident occurs to reduce staff injury and property damage.
Visitor & contractor monitoring
Symmetry Visitor Management enables staff to enroll visitors, capture their photograph, issue an ID badge, assign to responsible employees and monitor their movements throughout the campus. Quick transfer data rates ensure processing new visitors is exceptionally fast.
Protection of facilities
The Alarm Management feature within the Symmetry Security Management Solution enables security staff and other personnel to quickly view, acknowledge and respond as a result of an alarm within the tightly integrated security system being triggered.
Terrorism
The Symmtery Threat Level Manager feature can help to monitor potential terrorist threat situations, which is especially relevant in protecting London based universities. Budget
