Our Solutions
- Access Control
- Video Surveillance
- Intrusion
- Unified Platform
Access Control
Johnson Controls’ access control solutions monitor the entire school grounds - from entrances and exits, to doors and hallways throughout the school. Use different methods for readers and credentials, such as wireless locks to forgo the need for physical keys.
Video Surveillance
Robust video security solutions are vital to keeping students, faculty and staff safe. With on-the-edge AI and analytics providing advanced insights, our video surveillance solutions ensure there is high visibility into activities occurring on school grounds.
Intrusion
For schools, identifying potential physical threats at the earliest point is integral. With technology such as perimeter radar detection, monitor school premises from untoward incidents before they happen. Our intrusion detection offers real-time alerts, enabling a faster response to mitigate risk.
Unified Platform
With our integrated solution, schools can consolidate their physical security solution to one platform. Unified security delivers enhanced visibility along with streamlined management and information reporting. This allows schools to take a more comprehensive approach and leverage greater customization in its security needs.
K-12 Education Challenges
Lack of Visibility into Daily School Occurrences
A school is an active environment with many events occurring simultaneously, creating the need to keep track of visitors, students, and faculty on campus. With Johnson Controls’ AI/ Analytics and investigative approach to security, schools can better track specific student behavior (such as vaping or bullying) across school grounds.
Investment
Due to the complexity of schools’ security systems, the investment is often costly and complicated. Johnson Controls provides solutions with lower total cost of ownership through built-in features and integration with older hardware.
Diverse Architecture and Infrastructure
In the K-12 sector, schools often operate in more than one building, ranging from the typical classroom to sport facilities, and auditoriums – most of which are accompanied by parking lots. With such disparate buildings, it’s critical to provide customizable security solutions. Johnson Controls provides a broad range of video surveillance, access control, and intrusion solutions to secure areas across school grounds.
Cybersecurity and Protection of Data
Johnson Controls' approach is preventative and proactive, with native and certificate-based encryption. In addition, Johnson Controls employs over 250 engineers specialized in cybersecurity working to identify current and future threats and provide real time resolutions.
Availability and System Continuity
Security systems need to be continuously available and remain resilient during any kind of power outage. This can be as simple as Network Video Recorders with dual power supplies and operating systems to RAID storage to protect recorded video. With built-in methods of redundancy and flexible system architecture, your system will remain operational 24/7.
Communication in Crises
Johnson Controls' security solutions can integrate a mass notification system, which provides alerts to students, faculty, and staff based on threat level. Mass notification is crucial to provide information quickly and successfully during weather or on-campus emergencies.
