Unlocking the Future of Campus Security with Primis Access Control

September 18, 2023
Beyond the Gates: Where Safety Meets InnovationIn a time when headlines often feature incidents of campus violence or unauthorized access, the role of security in educational institutions has never been more critical. Campuses should serve as havens for knowledge, innovation and personal development. This becomes possible when you can trust that the setting is secure. Identiv's recently launched Primis access control system, paired with its plug-and-play Primis Readers, provides a comprehensive solution that merges security with convenience.

Why Campus Security MattersBeyond the immediate dangers posed by lapses in campus security, there is an intangible but no less critical impact: the undermining of the educational mission itself. When students and faculty constantly worry about their safety, focus shifts away from learning, collaboration and growth. An effective, reliable security system isn’t just a preventive measure; it's an enabler of the institution's core objectives.
