We recognise the major security concerns within the Education sector and provide tailored solutions to meet your specific site requirements. Our solutions are installed across many campuses internationally providing a more secure environment for staff and students.
What’s your greatest security concern?
Where access to buildings or departments are limited or controlled, the Symmetry Security Management System can use biometric fingerprint readers which will add an extra layer of security, by ensuring it is definitely the right person entering. Alternatively using the partition feature, allows individual departments to assign specific access rights for students and staff.
The Symmetry solution addresses the issues of anti-social behaviour with a comprehensive feature-set dedicated to the needs of the campus environment. Using cutting edge video technology ensures anti-social behaviour is captured and in some cases pre-empts the crime actually taking place.
Complex campus environments and weak perimeters ensure theft is prevalent and the Symmetry Security Management System reduces the risk by making sure non-authorised staff and visitors are unable to access key areas. Where theft does occur, camera views can quickly be studied in real time or as part of an investigation.
The Symmetry Security Management System takes the safety of the students and staff as priority and with the tightly integrated access control and video solution, any situation can be monitored before an incident occurs to reduce staff injury and property damage.
Symmetry Visitor Management enables staff to enroll visitors, capture their photograph, issue an ID badge, assign to responsible employees and monitor their movements throughout the site. Quick transfer data rates ensure processing new visitors is exceptionally fast.
The Alarm Management feature within the Symmetry Security Management Solution enables security staff and other personnel to quickly view, acknowledge and respond as a result of an alarm within the tightly integrated security system being triggered.
Ranging from simple access control systems, through to fully integrated security solutions that can control and monitor numerous remote sites and campuses. Our Symmetry Security Management Solutions are fully scalable – from one school or university to an entire campus with remote buildings. The Symmetry System can evolve as your requirements develop and be extended or upgraded in line with your needs with minimal disruption to daily life.

Smart Cards in Education – Complete single card solution
With G4Tec’s Smartcard technology, several aspects of your College or University can be managed by using just one card. A microprocessor chip within the card stores biometric data and other useful information, allowing you to tailor it to your specific needs.
- Student ID – Add a photo to the card and it makes the perfect ID.
- Enrolment – Students can swipe the card to prove their identity and schedule for classes.
- Library Card – Manage library accounts and track overdue fines.
- Door Access – Eliminate cumbersome keys and use the card to access residence halls, laboratories, studios, etc.
Cashless Payments
- Pay for meals in the cafeteria or student union eliminating the need for cash
- Purchase soft drinks or snacks from vending machines
- Use the card to pay for photocopying, launderette usage, or parking, eliminating the need for exact change
- Eliminates the need for students to carry cash and therefore help reduce theft
Using a Smartcard system also offers increased efficiencies and cost gains as administration of the Smartcard is very easy for staff. One card is used for each student, rather than issuing separate cards for student ID, meals, library, and electronic security. One database, one card…it’s that easy.
