Security
solutions and products company Allegion
US has integrated the BadgePass One platform with
Schlage Intelligent Locks and Readers, the company said. It will
offer a subscription service to save costs for users that includes
all hardware and software needed to issue ID badges and control
access privileges in large facilities like K–12 schools.
“The
Schlage NDEB and LEB intelligent wireless locks are easy to install
and seamlessly communicate with the software via WiFi,” said Jeff
Koziol, business development manager – PACS partners at Allegion.
“The
Reader Controller devices round out the solution by enabling
real-time updates and offering an option for doors where wireless
locks are not a fit.”
BadgePass
has worked with K–12 schools nationwide to provide various security
solutions, the company said. Benefits to schools of the new
integration include:
-
Easy to use apps for badge production for employees, students,
volunteers and more;
-
Customized, secure card designs for all types of cardholders;
-
Quick badge production process by capturing photos on a tablet or
phone, eliminating the need for onsite PCs and long lines of
students waiting to have pictures taken at registration or after the
start of the school year;
-
Queued print jobs, allowing the badging office to print cards on
their schedule;
-
Local printing at each school or centralized print;
-
Lower IT burden as no software, server, or printer drivers are
needed onsite;
-
Cost-effective system subscription, including all software,
hardware, supplies and service;
-
Automated monthly or annual payment options.
“We
chose to partner with Allegion because their hardware options help
reduce common barriers to installation, including complex and costly
wiring,” said Derek Gibbs, EVP of Product Development at BadgePass.
“We started with credential issuance, giving customers the ability
to enroll cardholder data and print ID badges right from their
phone.” He added that access control capabilities are now embedded
in the system.
Allegion
has supported successful integrations in two other BadgePass product
lines: BadgePass Access Manager and TotalCard, according to a
release.
A
brochure and demo request for more information are available on this
BadgePass One Access Control page.
Allegion
secures people and assets with a range of solutions for homes,
businesses, schools, and institutions, with its solutions focusing on
security around the door and adjacent areas. Learn
