The Situation
During a recent refurbishment, the need to upgrade the security system became apparent, it had become important to restrict access for unauthorised personnel to ensure a safe environment.
The Solution
A GuardPoint Pro system was installed by local installer Wakefield Security. The system secures 25 doors using IC1000 controllers and SP-Mini readers. Providing a safe and secure environment for the staff and pupils was imperative - ensuring no unauthorised personnel were able to enter the building during school hours. The system is designed with timed free access for the students during lunch and break times.
Highlights
The automation GuardPoint Pro has brought to the school has been a massive benefit overall - reducing staff time and involvement, particularly when opening and closing the school during break times.
The Benefits
The school now has full reporting of who has been in and out of the school building, allowing them to feel confident that there are now no unauthorised entrants in the building.
