Cost-Effective and Reliable Solutions for Campus Environments

End-to-End Integration from the Ground Up

For schools looking for a complete end-to-end security system, the NLSS Security Platform is a cost-effective solution. The NLSS Security Platform combines essential security elements such as access control, intelligent analytics, VoIP, remote accessibility, multi-media HD video display capabilities and more into a single platform. Instead of piecing together separate components from various vendors and customizing a costly integration to make them work in synch, these components can now be purchased together as one package, installed all at once, and operated over a single user interface. This drastically reduces deployment and maintenance costs while making the entire system more intuitive to use.

Leveraging the Existing Network

Because the NLSS Security Platform is fully networked, schools and campuses will find great cost value in leveraging their existing IT infrastructure. The system does not require dedicated cables and can run on existing computers.

Included Access Control System Provides Cost-Savings and Enhanced Situational Awareness

Unlike most other security platforms, the NLSS Security Platform includes a fully integrated access control system at no additional cost. IP door locks offer enhanced security and flexibility over traditional lock and key sets and can ultimately save millions in re-keying costs. It is far easier and less costly to activate or de-activate digital key cards from a database housed on the network than it is to replace traditional keys and locks. Networked access control also identifies break-ins faster and has the ability to record a time-stamped event when a door lock has been tampered with.

Included Analytics

Video analytics is another great tool built into the NLSS Security Platform. Unlike other video management systems, Next Level’s analytics come at no additional cost including per channel fees. Video analytics can be a powerful tool for larger campuses that have a lot of video information to sift through. With video analytics, guards are automatically alerted to areas where cameras are detecting motion or suspicious behavior such as loitering. Below is a list of applications for video analytics functions:

• Facial grabbing and recognition to identify known criminals
• Suspicious behaviors in common areas
• People counting
• Loitering
• Entry and exit monitoring in secure buildings or classrooms
• Object left behind
• License plate recognition

Centralized Management

The NLSS Security Platform is a fully networked system which means that all elements of the security system, be it unlocking IP door locks or viewing a video event, can be viewed from anywhere over the network. Remote management greatly simplifies an institution’s video surveillance operations by providing an interface to easily monitor an entire campus infrastructure.

HD Media Display Provides Faster Communication

With the NLSS HD Media Decoder, schools can update once-static signs and posters to eye-catching digital displays complete with audio capability for multi-purpose messaging. The NLSS HD Media Decoder can stream virtually any video content to any display monitor in a variety of layouts and sequences. Schools can use the digital signage approach to display emergency notification, upcoming events, directions, advertising, breaking news or other public messaging. Best of all, since the decoder operates over the network, the content can be updated from a central location.
