University campus safety and security
Real-time awareness and forensic investigation
Network solutions equipped with sophisticated analytics help you stay on top of potential campus safety and security incidents, such as suspicious presence, early signs of smoke and fire, aggressive voices, breaking glass, and more. Across campus, emergency call stations, equipped with a vandal-proof video intercom and outdoor-ready speaker, rapidly connect callers to a security dispatcher. The dispatcher can see and speak to the scene in the event of a medical emergency, threatening individual, or other urgent situation. Device event logs and forensic-quality video footage – even in difficult lighting conditions – support post-incident investigations.
Smart, seamless processes
At night, cameras and other network devices across campus are typically busy protecting against intruders. During the day, many of them can be put to work supporting smooth and efficient processes. Access control solutions with configurable permissions make it easy for credentialed individuals and vehicles to get everywhere they’re authorized to be, while uncredentialed visitors can use network intercoms with integrated video to request entry. And in busy locations, cameras with people-counting analytics provide valuable information – for example, where students can find an available study room, or when bookstore staff should open another register.

Focus areas
An excellent student experience
In addition to improving safety and efficiency, network solutions enable flexibility and opportunity, essential parts of an outstanding experience. Enable 24-hour access to libraries, fitness centers, labs and more, using network access control to mitigate security and safety risks. Take an innovative approach to hands-on learning, using network video with two-way audio to enable one instructor to remotely monitor and guide multiple students through a process. Or give students and faculty access to a global stage with high-quality live streaming of academic symposia, sporting events, performances, and other significant events.
Spotlight: Wearable solutions
Axis wearable cameras can be used in multiple ways on campuses. For higher education security or law enforcement teams, body worn solutions document events, capture evidence, and provide valuable footage that can be used to improve trainings and policies. They’re also an effective way to positively influence the behavior of the officer and the public alike. And in instructional settings, wearable cameras let teachers monitor hands-on processes while students work, without the instructor underfoot, more closely mirroring real-world scenarios. Afterwards, students can review the footage to analyze and learn from their own performance.
