The LHRIC Security Service offers security-related technology solutions such as video cameras with image recording capabilities, door access control and visitor management systems. We offer analysis of your network infrastructure to ensure recommended technology solutions are possible. The service includes consulting, design, procurement, installation and ongoing school security systems support. Base Security Support participation is required to participate in additional School Security services.

Base Security Support
The Base Security Support Service provides your district with:
• An evaluation of your current physical security systems
• Recommendations to strengthen existing security hardware and software
• An analysis of existing network infrastructure
• Help Desk support, to manage system operations
• A Security Command Center that provides a private setting to train your staff on physical Security solutions, including how to configure and replay footage on Avigilon and Cisco systems. 

Access Control (Door Access) Security
The Access Control Security Service provides a system to unlock exterior entrances and interior doors that protect high value or sensitive locations. Access control is activated using proximity cards, key fobs, swipe cards, bar codes, or biometric readers. The system can be configured to control who may enter select doorways and can also limit the time of day staff and students may enter. 

IP Video Security
This service provides placement strategy, procurement and installation of IP Video Cameras for surveillance of school hallways, buildings and grounds. We provide a thorough evaluation for optimal camera placements, both inside and outside. Camera footage can be monitored in real time and recorded for playback. Integration with police or fire agencies is an option for this service.

Visitor Management
LHRIC Visitor Management system scans each visitor’s driver license or state-issued ID instantly against the national registered sex offender database. When a visitor is cleared, a temporary badge is issued with the visitor’s photo, name, and destination within the school building. The service helps schools keep unwanted visitors out and keeps track of all visitors who have entered the building.
