Emergency exit lightingJohnsonite
The Safe-T-First System creates low-location, luminous pathways on floors, along wall bases and in stairwells that lead the way to safety in the event of a power outage. The system works down low and is less likely to be obscured by smoke in an emergency. It does not require backup generators or constant maintenance. The photoluminescence is a result of patented Perma-light technology that incorporates bright, long-lasting pigments into floor and wall products.

The 994L breakaway lever trim reduces damage from vandalism and abuse and helps facilities meet ADA requirements. The design allows the lever to break away and drop to the 90-degree down position when it is abused or when excessive force is applied, which discourages further abuse and protects its internal parts. It is easy to snap the lever back into its operating position, thus preventing loss of door operation and saving maintenance time and expense. It is now standard on all Von Duprin 98/99 Series Exit Devices ordered with lever trim.

The East Granby School District is the smallest district in Connecticut, serving 800 students in three schools. The district has carried out its security plan in phases, with priority being given to securing perimeter doors and controlling building access.
The district selected Schlage electronic locks, which incorporate an iButton on a key fob to be carried on the user's key ring. Making changes to credentials is easy and can be done with a laptop computer. Updated information can then be downloaded to each applicable lock in seconds.
The system enables the superintendent to enter all three schools using only one key, without the security dangers inherent in master keying. If lost, the electronic keys cannot be duplicated, and they can be eliminated easily from the system.
Main doors to the schools are unlocked only during arrival times. After the doors are secured, visitors must ring a doorbell for access. The locks incorporate two touch receptors: one for momentary release and the other for maintained status. When the doors are locked, teachers use the momentary port to gain access without leaving the doors unlocked.
Stand-alone versions are used to secure classroom and office doors. The electronic locks incorporate an inside iButton reader so teachers can lock the classroom door's exterior lever from the inside, without having to open the door. The door still can be opened from the inside as required by life-safety codes.
The stand-alone locks combine the functions of traditional door-mounted mechanical hardware with electronic components. They are linked by a software program that centralizes the management of all data files and operational parameters. These locks allow data to be captured when a user opens or attempts to open a door with the key fob. This information can later be downloaded and reviewed.
Among the other benefits of the system is that a single electronic key is required for the fire department lock box outside each school. This grants firefighters access to all areas of the building.

Real-time access: ID cards and a server connection provide convenience and security
(Fargo)
With 130 buildings on 240 acres, Hofstra University, Hempstead, N.Y., is concerned about security. It switched from identification cards in laminated pouches to cards printed by the Fargo printer system in combination with General Meters software. The university purchased two printers/encoders from Fargo: models DTC515 and DTC525.
The university prints more than 10,000 cards each year for students and staff. An additional 10,000 cards are printed for conference guests that need access to residence halls and dining rooms. The cards for conference guests have an expiration date on them that coincides with the end of the conference.
In addition to being used for access control, the printed cards can act as debit cards, with two separate accounts. One account is for meal plans, which enables users to keep individual lunch plans confidential. The university calls the other account “Dutch Debit.” It is used to buy books and movie tickets, do laundry, use vending machines, pay phone bills and play video games. A bar code on the card also allows users to check out books from the library.
The debit function is online and in real time, meaning that a server connection is always in place and there is no need to download from a reader, says Fred Emery, director of card services at Hofstra University. This makes it easy to close an account if a student loses a card or leaves the school. The system also can identify students' most recent access entry points, making it easier to track down an individual in case of a family emergency.
The identification cards have helped reduce crime on the campus, says Emery. They can't be copied or duplicated easily, and the numbers are not reused.

Securing the bus ride: Digital recording systems save money and improve security (GE Interlogix Video Systems Group)
St. Lucie County, Fla., Public Schools has installed BusSecure systems on 25 of its buses. The BusSecure mobile digital recording system records and stores video inputs from one to four cameras mounted inside or outside the vehicle. A digital video processor with removable storage allows recorded images to be viewed in the field with a laptop or desktop PC.
The system eliminates tapes and increases download dependability for security officers, says Dean Kesling, the district's fleet maintenance officer.
“We used to use a tape for each day of the week,” Kesling says. “But, if an incident happened two weeks ago, we wouldn't have the record because the tape would have been written over. Digital recording gives us many more options.”
Personnel can copy images to a CD-ROM or remove the hard drive and connect it to another PC for viewing. They also can mark the tape where an incident occurred without having to review it for hours.
“With the old system, we still were suffering too much vandalism on our buses, a cost of $160,000 per year,” Kesling says. “With more cameras on board, better resolution and easier downloading, we can go directly to the digital images whenever we notice something new or our drivers point out a concern.”
The St. Lucie district has 280 buses. BusSecure units will be added as old equipment fails and as new buses come into service. Two black-and-white cameras will be installed in the front and rear of each bus.
