Secure the Halls and Sensitive Areas of a School with Kentaur and Argus access control solutions

During the 2022-2023 school year, inspectors from the National Education system reported 4.6 serious incidents per 1,000 children enrolled in educational institutions. This figure is constantly increasing and raises questions aboutprotection and security systems at school. dormakaba offers many innovative solutions to protect your children.

Why is it important to secure educational institutions?

Ensuring thesafety of schoolchildrenshould be a priority for everyone. Indeed, children are the future of France and should be protected under all circumstances, especially in a place as symbolic as school. Many standards and laws have been introduced in this regard, bringing new safety roles to schools.

This is particularly the case when the Vigipirate plan is activated, which requires institutions to increase their security for a given period. However, it is complex to deploy a reinforced security system over a short period. Therefore, it is much more beneficial for educational institutions to install a practical, reliable, and fully secure system all year round, allowing children to study in an environment where they feel safe.

Having effective staff at the entrances of the institution is often not enough, as they are not numerous enough to handle the flow of students entering simultaneously. It is therefore important to developsecurity systemsto complement them. Many technologies, offered by dormakaba, will help you achieve this goal.

Protecting entrances with the Argus access control system

TheArgus access control systemis a cutting-edge technology developed by dormakaba to help educational institutions, such as schools, middle schools, high schools, and universities, protect their premises, staff, and students. The operation of this system is relatively simple: access corridors are placed at the entrances of the institution and users must pass through one by one, equipped with their badges. This technology allows for instant identification of people who should not enter protected areas and buildings, while facilitating filtering. Unauthorized persons will trigger an alarm for better responsiveness from supervisory staff.

It is also possible, depending on the needs and layout of the site, to complement this Argus access control corridor system with other types of security elements. The implementation of this security system is a long-term solution to the security issues faced by institutions.

In addition to being highly efficient, theArgus access control systemis also modern and reliable. If you have decided to improve the appearance of your entrance and exterior, the design of this technology will enhance your institution. The management of information and the Argus network can be controlled remotely, especially in case of emergency. Indeed, it is possible to unlock the system to facilitate evacuation, particularly in the event of a fire.

Streamlining entries into the institution with the implementation of Kentaur turnstile control systems

To complement the previous system, it is possible to streamline the exit of students and staff by setting up a database to define each person's restrictions and authorizations. By using specific equipment in different areas, such as Kentaur high turnstiles and revolving doors, you will meet government requirements. This access control system can operate without human supervision.

Indeed, a card reader will allow for better flow management. With such a solution, the issue of safety will no longer be a concern. The risks regardingaccess conditionsto your educational institution will be drastically reduced for all your premises.

The security of your new equipment is paramount, especially in terms of management in the event of an incident at your workplace. Indeed, this turnstile door system has a patented locking system that allows for easy badge reading, while preventing the door from getting stuck. Adaptable for people with reduced mobility, the installation ofKentaur swing doorsreplaces old lock systems for increased efficiency and unmatched simplicity.

Like the Argus access control system, the Kentaur high turnstiles and swing doors are made of steel, serving as a battering ram door. It will therefore be impossible to force entry into the various departments of the institution. To enhance the user experience, the sleek design of this security system will make your school more attractive.

Finally, as energy consumption regulations are becoming increasingly strict, thisaccess control systemhas an option to adjust energy consumption based on usage. Thus, you will not spend more energy while significantly increasing the safety of children.

The Argus and Kentaur access control systems are innovative solutions that will help you secure your educational institution while making it safer for children and staff.
