Why choose access control
for your school?

School access control systems help schools improve safety, manage who enters the building, and reduce the risk of unauthorised access. They’re ideal for protecting students, restricting sensitive areas, and responding quickly in emergencies. Plus, they log who comes and goes and reduce the hassle of forgotten and lost keys.

How access control works
in a school environment

Access control systems are tailored to how schools operate. Staff can access different areas at different times, while students and visitors are limited to where they’re allowed. Entry points can be secured with card readers, fobs, or biometric systems, and everything is managed from a central dashboard, making it simple for admin teams to stay in control.

What our system offers

We offer a full range of school-friendly systems, from simple, basic fob-based systems to complete solutions with CCTV, fire alarms, and attendance tracking.

Fob and Card Readers

Eliminate the need for physical keys, and opt for key fobs, or ID cards for easy identification and practical access.

School Door Access Rights

Restrict by individual users or certain groups from entering specific doors, or during certain times.

School Biometrics

Secure main entrances, classrooms, offices, and restricted areas with fobs, cards, or PINs.

Energy Saving Readers

Electrical equipment is only switched on when an authorised user card is inserted into the reader and retained.

Video Door Entry

Secure main entrances, classrooms, offices, and restricted areas with fobs, cards, or PINs.

Anti Passback

Prevent users from sharing, or passing their card back to another user to gain access into the same controlled area.

Roll Call and Fire Reporting

In the event of a fire, a report of who is on site is crucial. Build custom reports to automate your reporting for your needs.
