Door Access Control and Visitor/Staff Sign In

[Zoom7000]

I'm looking to replace our existing staff and visitor sign in system with a new centralised sign in and door access control system across our MAT.

 

Currently at Site A we have an SG World VisIT-Ed ID card scanner (which is terribly clunky, really poor support and a nightmare to actually scan cards) and a set of Paxton proximity door access control mag locks on key fobs. (http://www.paxton-access.com/Image%20registry/Image%20web/013194.jpg) Both systems are completely independent to each other and very difficult and expensive to support.

 

At Site B, we have an electronic version of the VisIT-ED system with a touch screen and it takes a photo and then prints the visitors badge. Staff sign in using a separate Stanley based system, which also has door access control around the school.

 

Site A doesn't use proximity intelligent ID cards and the cards are merely cheap plastic with a barcode printed.

 

Site B uses RFID proximity cards for the Stanley system.

 

Ideally, I want one solution for the MAT which supports reprogrammable proximity RFID cards for staff that can support door access control and also the follow me printing setup I am currently looking at. At the moment it's looking like Uniflow with Canon as we have a multi year contract.

 

The system will also need to support access control points on different networks as currently we have 2 separate networks, but they are both accessible via IP Address through the LGfL firewalls.

 

Finally, a visitor sign in system similar to what I currently have, but with much better support than the terrible SG World!

 

Any ideas?

We recommend and offer CEM Systems, the main system AC2000 forms the centre of all your security and operational needs; with applications including central alarm and event management, integrated command & control, sophisticated ID badging, visitor management, database partitioning, standard system link, web reports and much more.

 

Along with this it is a fully integrated access control system for all types of doors and can offer a simple but effective time and attendance system in tandem, they also partner with Aperio for wireless handles which is a much more cost effective option for hard to reach doors requiring control.

 

If you would like a chat please get in touch and I will be pleased to offer assistance. Alternative, if you're down at BETT we will have all the above up and running

What MIS do you use? Most of our schools use Inventry which works really well and the support company are very good as well. Deffo worth a look.

Salto door locks (uses mifare card), and inventory for visitor, staff sign in/out, and pupil sign out (prints badge, to say pupil not truanting). The inventory system can read the staff door lock / ID cards
