Video technology for safe and secure campuses
A university campus — alive with ambition and discovery — is a world of endless possibilities. For many students, it’s their first time living away from home, and their families entrust you with their safety and security.
But with multiple entry points and diverse areas for learning, living and leisure, keeping college grounds safe 24/7 is a challenge. Milestone XProtect® video management software (VMS) allows seamless access control integration, centralized security operations, and constant vigilance against threats, for complete peace of mind on campus.

Manage everything centrally
Universities come in different sizes and forms — from single-site buildings to huge city-like campuses with facilities spread across multiple sites. This leads to multiple systems and processes, meaning redundancy, slower response times and spiraling costs. As educational institutions increase in size and complexity, maintaining a full overview from one central point can be a challenge.
With XProtect VMS, installations can be managed across various sites or servers from one central hub, allowing you to manage all system components and settings under one single pane of glass. And, with the ability to access live and recorded footage from all connected sites, you get a truly consolidated security system that reduces the complexity of distributed infrastructure.

Control access to campus
With many ways to access campus, having fences, posts, or guards at every entrance is impractical. Meanwhile, the same building that hosts public events may also contain a critical research facility that requires top-level security.
Universities can stay on top of what’s happening on campus while maintaining a spirit of openness and accessibility by integrating video surveillance with access control. This gives security teams the power to allow campus and building access to authorized-only persons, maximizing the safety of students while safeguarding assets, equipment and restricted areas.
Put simply, XProtect Access lets you add video capabilities to your access control and intrusion systems and manage it all from one centralized interface, react faster to events and reduce costs and complexity.

Monitor and control vehicle access
College parking lots are known to be common locations for crime to take place, particularly in remote locations.
Combining XProtect VMS with license plate recognition means college campuses can control vehicle access at all entrance and exit points. This not only provides a thorough overview of who is entering and leaving the area, but it also offers the ability to grant or deny access in real time.
Whether you wish to automatically identify flagged, approved or suspicious vehicles — and initiate automated actions such as granting or denying entry — or track suspicious vehicles for investigative purposes, XProtect LPR can assist your campus.
