Visitor Management System:Campus Security

Now with Covid Health Checks and Wallet Passes (no more stickers!)

Why is a Campus Security Visitor Management System so essential? Let’s have a look at the statistics below:

917,771 sex offenders in the US.

279 out of 100,000 people is a sex offender.

If you are lucky enough to live in Oregon that number jumps up to 668 out of 100,000 people. According to the National Center for Missing and exploited children (12/4/2018).

Who is visiting your campus? with the Campus Security Visitor Management System you’ll know!

Is your campus still relying on a sign-in sheet as your visitor management system?

Just how many felons and sex offenders are on your campus? Unfortunately, a sign-in sheet will never tell you that — nor will most visitor management systems. Can your campus benefit from a visitor management system? Yes, it can! Is there more than just visitor management required? Yes, a good visitor management requires a number of strong features.

However, visitor management is more than just a sign-in sheet and a “hello my name is” sticker, knowing who is on your campus requires visitor validation. A campus security visitor management system takes visitor information and validates the persons criminal record, assuring the campus that they are not allowing felons or sex offenders on campus.

So, what is being done today in Visitor Management Systems?

Most visitor management systems register a user (the manual ones are sign in sheets), then provide a sticker to the visitor via a sticker printer (or a sticker and a magic marker. A sticker, really?

Here are the issues with that:

1Registering does not tell me if you should be entering the campus.

2Who are visitors actually visiting?

3Does that person know and approve a visit?

4How do does your campus manage the visit with the visitor’s host?

5Where are you going to visit?

6Knowing where a visitor is, allows security to monitor visits, and in a critical event identify a visitor’s location.

7When did the visitor come to campus and when are they leaving? Allows a campus to manage visits.

8Knowing when a visitor left campus via a check-out helps manage who is actually on campus.

9Having systems and remote apps to identify visitors and monitor their visits allows campus security and staff to manage the campus.

10Finally, many campuses want or require visitor criminal validation, but the process is costly and takes time to get accomplished.

  • Who is going to pay? The campus? The visitor?
  • And how?
  • How does a campus manage a visitor’s criminal record over time?

Why doesn’t my organization have a visitor management system, or why is ours so out of date?

  • Many visitor management systems require software that can be kind of expensive.
  • Visitor management systems often require expensive and proprietary kiosks.
  • Visitor management systems often require expensive sticker printers or ID printers and all the supplies that go with them.
  • Visitor management systems are often self-contained closed legacy systems so they allow for no monitoring or communication by the host, staff and campus security.
  • While many campuses require visitors, vendors, part-time staff, independent contractors, and volunteers to go through a criminal record screening the cost, process and timeliness is so prohibitive that this requirement is often overlooked and not executed properly. Even when a campus uses a systems privacy concerns make these systems difficult to access and truly validate from.

Top reasons why IDentifyED’s campus security visitor management system is the best in the industry.

1IDentifyED’ campus security visitor management system works hand in hand with Visitor.Fit, the world’s first subscriber based criminal record validation system.

  • Campus security visitor management system (Fit) allows a visitor to register themselves, pay an annual fee and validate their criminal record. If their criminal record does not meet criteria, an applicant is not provided Visitor.Fit membership.
  • Campus security visitor management system (Fit’s) criteria which is:
  • No felonies
  • No sex offenders
  • No more that 2 misdemeanors in 7 years.
  • Criminal record validation is done both at a national level and in the local counties that the visitor has lived in, in the last 7 years.
  • Fit monitors a member’s criminal record for the entire year of the subscription so if something occurs a Visitor.Fit membership can be revoked.
  • Costs for campus security visitor management (Visitor.Fit) are born by the visitor, so the school pays nothing. The visitor pays an annual fee of $20.
  • A Visitor.Fit membership can be used to validate membership from any Visitor.Fit validation partner, so a Visitor.Fit member need only pay once for membership and validation can be provided with any participating school.

2IDentifyED’s campus security visitor management System supplies an Android, IOS and HTML App, so your school has lots of options when it comes to managing visits and equipment. Campuses can choose the hardware and the method for user registration. We strongly recommend a tablet with a camera, but this can be achieved with a fairly inexpensive tablet. If you need/want a kiosk — kiosk hardware that matches your tablet can be acquired inexpensively.

3Visitors can register a visit online without having to proceed through an “entry point” or “front gate”, this is especially useful with campuses that are very open to the public

4Hosts can register a visitor for a visit. Hosts can be notified that visitor has arrived and escort the visitor, as well as the visitor can be checked out.

5Visitors can check themselves out of the campus security visitor management system.

6IDentifyED’s visitor management system fully integrates with IDentifyED, so that staff and security can identify all visitors, and their visits while this is happening.

7IDentifyED’s visitor management system prints visitor passes to a standard printer format, so schools can select any printer that can comply with the open standard format.

8IDentifyED’s visitor management system allows for a paperless ticketing system for visits that allows a campus to avoid if they wish paper tickets and printers, this is possible because IDentifyED provides Pictures, Names and locations of each and every visitor via the IDentifyED remote monitoring app.

IDentifyED Campus Security Visitor Management API

IDentifyEd has a large library of APIs so that 3rd parties with the proper credentials can interact with IDentifyED.  The campus security visitor management APIs allow the initiation of a visit, the ability to query visitors and the associated visitor data on visitors have made visits, and visitor history.  Visitor Fit allows any 3rd party system to have access to the query: “Is this a valid visitor fit member?”. Campus security visitor management APIs can also provide pictures of all visitors so that facial recognition systems and other systems can identify visitors on campus.

IDentifyED’s Campus Security Visitor Management System the next evolution in campus security.

The campus security visitor management is not a new concept, as a matter of fact it may be one of the very first processes that were established 1000s of years ago. However, the ability to manage and monitor a visitor with a paperless system as they make a visit, the ability to verify whether a visitor has any issues with their criminal record in a way that does not expose the visitor or the enterprise with privacy risks is new. These significant changes are the difference between allowing a visitor to make a monitored and managed visits with visitor validation on to your campus and allowing a sex offender free range to your students.
