The John Jay School for Criminal Justice is using the company’s IP-based Longitude system at three of its buildings in the city, and is said to have overcome the most labour intensive problem in a university application: the input of data and assigning of privileges. It does this by automatically loading cardholders and assigning access privileges via downloads from the university’s registrar system.
“I’ve been in the security industry for 20 years, and the DVTel IPAC security solutions and staff are incredible,” commented Isabelle Curro, deputy director of security. “The system is fast and reliable, and the installation and system performance to date have been totally problem-free.”
There are around 30 turnstiles and six ID badging stations at three different campus locations. The school had to upgrade its exiting system to allow for scalability.
The Longitude IP system is an open, software-based access control solution with features including alarm monitoring, graphical maps, automation, reporting, photo ID badge creation, time and attendance, and visitor logging. It is hardware ‘agnostic’, so it can take over just about any legacy access control system. The software functions as a component of DVTel’s iSOC, or as a stand-alone system.
