In campus security, the obvious areas often get the most attention: main entrances, classrooms, and administrative offices. But what about those less-traveled, easily forgotten spaces? At Martin Communications, we’ve seen firsthand how these overlooked areas can become weak links in an otherwise robust security system.
Let’s shine a light on these hidden corners and discuss how to fortify them, ensuring comprehensive protection for your entire campus.
-
Maintenance Areas and Utility Rooms
These spaces might seem insignificant, but they can provide unauthorized access to critical systems. Consider this: a utility room could give an intruder access to your entire building’s power or communication infrastructure.
Our Solution: We recommend installing access control systems on these doors, limiting entry to authorized personnel only. Additionally, our smart surveillance cameras can monitor these areas without requiring constant human oversight.
-
Rooftops and Exterior Ledges
Often out of sight and out of mind, these areas can be attractive to trespassers or serve as entry points for intruders.
Our Solution: Martin Communications offers perimeter detection systems that can alert security personnel to any unauthorized access attempts. We can also install weatherproof cameras to monitor these areas continuously.
-
Parking Structures and Lots
While many campuses have some level of parking lot security, these areas are frequently under-protected, especially in less-used zones or during off-hours.
Our Solution: Our comprehensive parking lot security package includes strategically placed cameras, emergency call boxes, and smart lighting systems that activate with motion detection.
-
Temporary or Portable Structures
Modular classrooms or temporary offices are often afterthoughts in security planning, but they can be vulnerable entry points.
Our Solution: We provide scalable, portable security solutions that can be easily installed and moved as needed. These include wireless cameras and mobile access control units.
-
Loading Docks and Delivery Areas
Those seeking unauthorized access can exploit these high-traffic areas, especially during busy periods.
Our Solution: Martin Communications can implement a combination of surveillance cameras, access control systems, and visitor management solutions to ensure only authorized personnel and verified deliveries gain entry.
-
Unused or Rarely Used Spaces
Abandoned buildings, rarely used storage areas, or spaces under renovation can become security blind spots.
Our Solution: Our motion-activated surveillance systems can provide cost-effective monitoring for these areas without requiring constant power usage or human attention.
-
Connecting Corridors and Tunnels
Underground or elevated passageways between buildings are often overlooked in security planning.
Our Solution: We offer comprehensive solutions including access control, surveillance, and emergency communication systems tailored for these unique spaces.
-
Athletic Fields and Outdoor Recreational Areas
These spaces, especially when not in use, can become targets for vandalism or unauthorized gatherings.
Our Solution: Our outdoor security package includes rugged, weather-resistant cameras, perimeter detection systems, and smart lighting solutions to protect these areas round the clock.
-
HVAC and Mechanical Systems
While not typically considered in security planning, these systems can be vulnerable to tampering or serve as entry points.
Our Solution: Martin Communications provides specialized sensors and access control systems designed to protect these critical infrastructure components.
-
Emergency Exits and Fire Escapes
These necessary safety features can become security liabilities if not properly monitored.
Our Solution: We offer door alarm systems that integrate with your existing security infrastructure, alerting personnel to any unauthorized use while still allowing for rapid egress in emergencies.
