Colleges, public areas, and churches often have expansive properties that are hard to watch over. Varied terrain and structures provide opportunities for mischief and hamper the effectiveness of a quickly-overwhelmed security staff. ion247 provides the tools to augment your staff and make you more effective.

Building Security/Access Control

Identify those who need clearance to enter certain areas based on need, time of day, and traffic patterns. Access Control systems then allow you to change the rules as needed from a central control system. You can even make changes from remote locations at any time of the day.

Video Alarm Verification

Over 97% of all alarms called in to police every night are false. For example, in Dallas, Texas, of the 62,000 alarm calls in 2004, only 2.8 percent were valid (Security Sales and Integration 2005).

Often, they are fraudulent or simply mistakes made by faulty alarm systems or confused people. Having a trained ion247 employee place an event verification call to the authorities helps differentiate between real and false alarms, lends gravity to the situation, and enables the authorities to respond with the appropriate speed.

Environmental Monitoring

Most campuses have many different structures to watch over. our environmental monitoring systems can watch for changes in everyday operations and weather events, such as detecting a temperature fluctuation when an air conditioner goes out, or when a basement floods. Early warning systems like these can save thousands of dollars in damage by alerting you before the problem ever gets out of hand.

Student & Faculty Safety

It is very difficult to provide a watchful eye over the safety of the numbers of people you find on a campus. ion247's custom monitoring systems can help you watch those high-traffic areas where trouble can easily occur, as well as the hidden, lonely spots that invite troublemakers.

Our interactive audio systems can also help instruct students and faculty when emergency situations arise and clear audible instructions can save lives.

Employee Productivity

Managing a large campus results in supervision that is spread over a large area, and many employees are left unsupervised. This often results in a less-motivated work ethic and time padding, both of which cost you money. Keep their productivity up simply by making them aware that they are accountable for their work.

Guard Enhancement

A custom security solution from ion247 can actually save money for your organization by cutting down on the amount you spend for security personnel, while making a smaller security force more effective in policing such a large area.
