How Can Institutions Secure the New Normal in Campus Security After COVID-19?

SEP 15, 2020

Few instances have had as much of an impact on school campuses globally as the COVID-19 pandemic. Much of the world remains in recovery mode, navigating through the effects of COVID-19 — even as rigorous testing ramps up. While students, staff, and faculty are still primarily engaged in virtual and/or hybrid learning,

campus officials have a finite window of time to consider and implement strategic security solutions that establish a new normal

to better protect everyone on campus with the use of video surveillance technology and advanced intelligence capabilities.

Campus Security Solutions After COVID-19

The post-COVID-19 “new normal” will forever impact the campus environment and security strategies will largely be centered around several key initiatives including

people counting

,

occupancy controls

,

temperature screening

,

contact tracing

, and

reducing office touch points

.

Though many legacy security systems are being re-evaluated to allow for touchless or frictionless access control — a move designed to eliminate the need for employees, visitors, and students to physically touch a surface when using an access control system — there’s a problem: upgrading outdated technologies can be cumbersome and expensive.

The solution?

Identiv provides budget-friendly options for campuses

to migrate to integrated access control through end-to-end security and access control solutions that tie into existing infrastructures without major disruptions (meaning your campus will never be left vulnerable).

Video Management Systems

With the use of a video management system (VMS) to collect data and provide it back to students, they can then decide which classes to attend based on their own real-time strengths and class availability. In the shadow of COVID-19, occupancy data from a VMS can trigger a lockdown and not permit new entrants until the occupancy drops below a certain threshold; useful for classrooms that have returned to in-person learning.
