Continental Access Provides Security for College Campuses

Feb. 12, 2008 - PRLog -- Each year dorm room theft rates increase.  The main reason behind this is that thieves know that students store approximately $5,000 worth of valuables in their dorm rooms ranging from computers and stereo systems to cash or jewelry.  

College administrators realize that students keep these valuables in their rooms, but they are unable to offer much more to help protect them.  However, with photo ID cards, colleges and universities are capable of increasing the amount of security on who can and cannot enter dormitories.  These systems not only feature photos of the students on the card, but they can also be programmed so that they are able to unlock electronic swipe locks.
 
By swiping the photo ID cards, the students gain instant access to their dormitory.  Because these locks can be programmed to only allow access based on certain credentials stored in the card, not all students are able to gain access to the dormitory.
Continental Access provides CardAccess 3000 for colleges and universities to help students protect their valuables.  Photo ID cards are available to allow schools to provide students with school identification as well as for threat level management.  Alarm and CCTV integration is also available with the system.  

In addition to these functions, CardAccess 3000 offers low maintenance costs, badging with easy import, visitor management, asset tracking and even elevator and gate control.  With CardAccess 3000 by Continental Access, colleges and universities are able to increase the security of their campuses.

About: Continental Access has been pioneering the access control industry since 1961.  Since that time, they have worked with many public universities including Columbia University and the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center.
