 Campus Security
Campus security and safety is an important part of everyday life whether it’s a college, hospital, or business environment. Security measures taken often reflect the type of risk most likely to occur at a particular location. College and University campuses are most vulnerable to attacks on students. A corporate environment may be mainly concerned with industrial espionage where unauthorized persons entering restricted areas may pose great risk to long held secret recipes, documents, or procedures. Hospital campuses have private medical records, drugs, valuable equipment and of course patient/visitor safety and security to be concerned with. Still other campus environments may store high value or highly sensitive items.
All of these scenarios require security:
- Video surveillance equipment appropriately placed can be a deterrent as well as a silent witness to crime.
- Anti-terrorist devices such as crash rated bollards and barriers prevent vehicles from entering secured campuses or areas within the campus.
- Emergency call stations provide a direct connection to security personnel.
- Access control for buildings and parking areas prevent unauthorized persons and vehicles from entering secure areas.

Video Surveillance
The most simple surveillance systems consist of a camera, monitor, and video recording device, such as a DVR. DVRs provide a visual record which can be used as evidence in court.
When choosing a video surveillance system, you’ll also want to consider picture quality. Picture quality refers to both how detailed the image being recorded is, as well as how many frames per second (fps) are being recorded. Thirty frames per second, like TV, will provide a clear, sharp picture. Low frame rates do save hard drive space and provide longer recording times, but result in the jerky-looking images you often see on TV news surveillance footage. Most DVRs can record at a low rate and automatically switch up to full (30 frames per second) when motion is detected.
But before you decide which type of video surveillance system is best for your facility, decide exactly what you want to monitor. Do you want to monitor everyday activity, identify vehicles, read license plate tags, or pick out faces in a crowd?
Call ITR. We’ll recommend and install a video surveillance system to meet your specific needs.

Anti-Terrorist Barriers
Anti-terrorist barriers provide security for many types of facilities, including state and federal government buildings, power plants, refineries, and military bases---basically, any facility where a vehicle-based attack might be carried out.
The most common types of barriers are bollards, wedges, and beams. Anti-terrorist barriers are constructed to completely stop most vehicles, yet can be lowered when passage is authorized, or in case of emergency, can be raised or lowered in as little as 3 to 5 seconds.
All of these barrier systems are designed with external safety devices, such as vehicle detection loops and photo beams, to prevent unintended damage to vehicles. Most systems are hydraulically-operated, but environmentally-safe, electrically-operated systems are becoming more readily available.
Call ITR today and trust our experts to deliver and install a turn-key solution to protect your property against vehicle-based attacks.

Emergency Telephone Systems
Emergency phone systems provide a direct line to security. The phones are wheelchair accessible, include instructions in Braille and have a highly visible, red push button on an illuminated telephone faceplate.
A single touch on the push button summons security, allows dispatchers to hear what’s going on, pinpoints the exact location of the trouble, and triggers the bright blue police-type strobe light on top of the phone, providing a beacon for police officers or firefighters to locate the person in distress. These lights are automatically lit after dark and, flash when in use.

Access Control
Most businesses use access control to prevent unauthorized entry into buildings, specific areas of buildings, as well as parking areas. A door, turnstile, parking gate, elevator, or other physical barrier where granting access can be electrically controlled can be a control point.
The most effective way to control access to your parking areas is to use readers for both entering and exiting. This allows the system to operate in “anti pass-back” mode, which basically requires that once a card is used for entry, it then must be used to exit. This prevents a driver from passing back his access card to another driver when entering or exiting the facility to avoid paying for parking charges.
Several card-reader technologies can be integrated into an access control system.
