Access Control
Campuses have a wide variety of access control needs. Johnson Controls offers access control products that make securing residential, administrative, and research facilities simple.

Video Surveillance
Johnson Controls is trusted by campuses across the world to provide proactive and actionable video surveillance response to incidents on campus.

Intrusion
Johnson Controls offers intrusion systems which are integral to campuses security. We provide systems such as perimeter radar detection, sensors, and more to protect athletic fields, classrooms, or other spaces from improper use or vandalism.

Unified Platform
Campuses are complicated and often dispersed widely. Johnson Controls' unified platform enables improved response, documentation, and case management by enabling a security operation center (SOC), allowing access control, video surveillance, and intrusion to work as one.

Higher Education Challenges

Cyber Security
Higher education institutions houses significant amounts of data that must be secure. Data breaches can come from any number of areas. We deploy a host of end-to-end encryption of communications and video, rigorous enforcement of operator permissions, password rotation, and field level auditing tools to know exactly what operator activity has taken place in the system.

Diverse Architecture and Infrastructure
In the higher education sector, colleges and universities often operate in more than one building, ranging from the typical classroom, sport facilities, and auditoriums – all of which are accompanied by parking lots. It’s critical to protect each of these locations with their specific security needs. Johnson Controls provides a broad range of video surveillance, access control and intrusion solutions to secure all areas on campus grounds.

Communication and Mass Notification
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.
