Security Base Service
605-224.001 - .007
The MHRIC Security Service offers a range of technology solutions and options
for schools who wish to secure their campus with state-of-the-art, IP-based
Video Cameras with image recording capability, Door Access Control, and/
or Fingerprinting Technology Solutions to speed the OSPRA determination
process. The focus of this service is to provide technology solutions, utilizing
existing resources and network infrastructure where possible, to keep students
and staff safe.
The Base Security service includes:
- Analysis of your existing network infrastructure to support security systems.
- Preparation of a project brief stating the scope of the implementation.
- Wireless implementations where appropriate.
- Identification of security needs by building.
- Recommendations for security systems on your campus.
- Procurement, installation, training, and on-going Help Desk support for the technology solutions selected.
- Contract administration.
- Help Desk assistance with problem solving and call routing to network
experts.
- Oversee and maintain Network Video Recorders hosted at the MHRIC.
- Support for district technical staff who are maintaining district-based
security systems.
- Presentations by Security Experts to stay abreast of new technologies,
procedures, and methods that schools can adopt to keep their students
and staff safe.
- User Group meetings for local member districts to discuss and share
what has been beneficial to their campus, as well as lessons learned while
implementing security systems.
IP Video Security System OPTION
This service provides an interior and exterior IP Video surveillance system for
school district buildings and grounds. The system uses the district’s existing IP
network infrastructure. Cameras may be monitored in real time from multiple
locations; and playback of stored video is available as needed. If an event
involves police or fire agencies, it is possible to link the system to agency
vehicles and view real time images within the building from the vehicle.
A variety of cameras are available including: static mounts, pan tilt zoom (PTZ),
infrared, exterior weather protected, and digital zoom. Video recording
requires a Network Video Recorder (NVR), which may be located at the RIC
and cost shared among multiple districts or purchased and located in the
district. In either case, access to the district’s images is secure and password
protected.
Door Access Control Security System OPTION
The Door Access Control Service provides perimeter security for exterior entrances, although, depending on the need, interior doors may also be
protected for high value or sensitive locations. The system may be accessed by several means, including proximity cards or key fobs, swipe cards, bar
codes, or biometric readers. The system is protected from power outages by battery backup. In the event of a power failure, all doors “fail closed” to maintain security. There is the provision for student ID cards to be incorporated in the security door system, if appropriate.
Fingerprint Scanning Security Processing OPTION
It is anticipated that this new method of transmitting fingerprints to the NYSED will greatly reduce the amount of time that a prospective employer or an applicant for certification will have to wait for a clearance for employment and/or certification. More importantly, the quick identification of potential employees enables schools to safeguard students and staff by ruling out unsuitable candidates well before they are placed in a school setting. Our goal is to support your district with the technology and training to help your staff manage the fingerprint process electronically, and speed the results back to the school in days rather than weeks.
Visitor Management System OPTION
Visitor management systems (VMS) help schools keep unwanted visitors out, while tracking those they allow in their building. Simply scan a visitor’s driver license (or other state issued ID) and the system instantly screens for registered sex offenders, domestic dispute offenders, and other trespassers. When a visitor is cleared, the software prints a badge with the visitor’s information and destination in the school building.
