Access Control

Description

To help modernize their systems, capabilities and usability across the board, Regis brought in systems integrator CGL Electronic Security, Inc. CGL recommended an integrated S2 system including an S2 NetBox Extreme with distributed S2 Network Nodes for access control and event monitoring and an S2 NetVR 700 for video management.

S2 NetBox Extreme supports up to 128 portals, ideal for the large number of doors on campus. S2 Network Nodes throughout the buildings connect to readers and other devices such as alarm panels and temperature probes, and aggregate access control and events to the S2 NetBox web interface.

The system allows Regis to easily assign access levels across different departments, buildings and users. Residence halls are outfitted with door and elevator-based access control, with users managed by Residence Life, while the Children’s Center can provision access to parents not directly associated with the university during specified hours. The browser-based system enables upwards of 50 users to collaborate, who find the system so easy to use that ITS no longer spends significant time training them. Using the integrated cameras and advanced forensic capabilities, Campus Police can now quickly identify and resolve any issues that arise, from theft to traffic incidents.
