Sophisticated access control systems are being installed at a rapid rate in higher education because campus buildings, laboratories, libraries, athletic facilities, and even dormitories must be safe and secure at all times. With an increase in violence, theft, vandalism and other crimes committed by outsiders coming on to campus, you need to keep out everyone that doesn’t belong there. Wireless access control is growing quickly, especially for dorm rooms, and other areas, such as research labs or computer departments, need security solutions that can constantly improve to meet advanced threats. Sometimes the answer is as easy as including a second or third factor, such as biometrics and PINs, in addition to a physical access card, making it more difficult for the wrong person to enter restricted areas.
