Seamless School Security: Integrated Alarm System & Access Control

Traditional lock-and-key systems pose security risks. ProTELEC’s Integrated Alarm and Access Control System offers a smarter, more efficient solution. By combining access control and your schools traditional security system, we eliminate the complexities of managing separate platforms. Gain centralized control over who enters your buildings and when, receive real-time alerts for security events, and free up valuable administrative time.

• Automated Reports: Generate custom arrival and departure logs for staff and authorized visitors, and schedule reports for a clear overview of building activity and access patterns.
• Push Notifications: Receive alerts for intrusions, unauthorized entries, alarm activations, duress signals, and even environmental conditions like temperature fluctuations or moisture detection in sensitive areas.
• Simplified Administrative Procedures: Reduce time managing user access permissions, minimize human error, and decrease staff training time.

Video Intercom Door Control Secures School Entrances

Open access to schools is no longer viable; proactive access management is crucial for a secure learning environment. ProTELEC’s Video Intercom Door Control puts you in control of your school’s entrances.

Verify visitors visually and verbally before granting access, all from the safety of your current location. Proactively manage access and deter unauthorized entry.

Effectively manage building access:

• See and Speak: View a live video feed of visitors and communicate directly with them.
• Verify and Unlock: Review visitor identification and remotely unlock the door for verified visitors from an app on your computer, tablet, or phone.
• Deny Access: If an individual is unknown or lacks a valid reason, access can be denied, protecting school personnel.
• Visitor Verification: Clear communication ensures only authorized entry.
• Remote Authorization: Staff can safely grant access without leaving their location.
• Deters Unauthorized Entry: Verified camera access acts as a deterrent for unlawful intruders.
