The Numerous Advantages Of Protecting Children With Secure Access

By Jason Gottschalk

Protecting children with secure access has become a primary concern for educators and parents over the last few years. As more violence has impacted our society, the need to find ways to keep our children save and secure in their educational environments has often created an under-current of fear that permeates both the academics and freedom of the students and educators.

There have been many attempts made to protect children and educators in academic environments. Some education centers have metal detectors that are set up at the major entrances of the school. Other schools have police officers that monitor students and adults who come and go on the campus.

However, these extreme measures are fallible. It is physically impossible for individuals to monitor the comings and goings of up to seven thousand students without an unauthorized entry or the need to be relieved at some point during the day. To meet the need for constant monitoring in a manner that is least intrusive for students, technology was incorporated to create a new system.

When the Secure Access system is installed on a campus, it may be place on one door or networked to all of the doors and entryways of the campus. The systems are small boxes that look like garage remote control devices. They do not emit a sound or intimate users in any way. However, they perform a vital function.

There are many advantages for facilities that employ this system. It can be customized to meet the specific needs of a school. The doors can open and close on a timed schedule. The system is designed to scan fingerprints or special key fobs that contain the information required to allow the door to be opened.

The small box is not intrusive or invasive. Students and educators are able to be enrolled in the centralized control system one time and are then able to gain access to areas they have authorization to enter. There is a permanent record of all entry into the area that is managed by the system.

Protecting children with Secure Access as well educators, and parents. When a campus is spread over several buildings, the secure access system can be networked so that all entries are recorded and a report can be printed on command when there is some question about access to an area on the campus. - 30527
