Universities and Campus
Higher education facilities are faced with challenges to balance security with accessibility, and advanced technology with affordability. While their focus is on creating welcoming places that inspire students and staff to achieve their best, robust protection is a top priority. Salto can provide this peace of mind and an enhanced learning environment with educational access solutions at a lower cost and with much greater flexibility.
Security in universities is key across a huge range of physical locations including classrooms, social areas, and residential spaces. Lecture theaters, libraries, laboratories, computer suites, staff rooms, student unions, sports facilities, exhibition spaces, shops, cafeterias, residence halls, commons areas, childcare facilities, medical centers, and chaplaincies—the list is endless and would be almost impossible to manage with mechanical keys.
Universities around the world are now unlocking next-generation solutions with Salto’s smart, secure, wire-free, and mobile electronic locking options that provide the ultimate in flexible access control.
Access control that builds confidence in campus security
Salto keyless solutions help ensure the safety of students, lecturers, and support staff, and protect property, equipment, teaching materials, and other valued assets.
In a university environment, it’s critical to be able to precisely control who can enter a campus when they can enter, and where they go. It’s just as important to be able to cancel access instantly, without restricting the freedoms of university life. This includes the ability for staff on the ground to activate an emergency lockdown of specific doors, buildings, or entire sites so that they can protect against any impending threats. The configuration of customized responses for different crisis levels can be customized to suit any campus needs and the ability to control every door provides peace of mind for all.
Salto access solutions deliver centralized control on one platform and integrate with existing CCTV, alarm monitoring, and other building management and security systems. It also plays a critical role in a campus crisis action plan by messaging emergency notification lists.
