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.

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.

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.

Due to the hustle of students coming and going at all hours and heavy traffic flow, automatic security efforts such as closing buildings when not in use or automatic lockdown in case of emergency are paramount for colleges and universities. Johnson Controls access control provides a critical infrastructure to the public safety of a campus.
