Modern access control systems are a crucial component of a comprehensive strategy for school, college, and university security–especially for life-threatening situations that call for emergency lockdown. Ask yourself these important questions when considering an access solution for education.

In the wake of an unforeseen security crisis, many educational facilities and institutions around the world are reexamining lockdown procedures and are conducting a thorough review of the capabilities of their school’s access control systems. And for good reason: investigations into recent tragedies have found that miscommunication, a lack of clear responsibilities and procedures, and insufficient building access for first responders were serious problems during these horrific events. 

School safety experts have been warned about the vulnerability of ineffective crisis management for decades. In recent years, billions of dollars have been spent on modernizing school infrastructure and building security, yet, today, an estimated one in four public schools in the United States lacks classroom doors that can be locked from the inside. 

Security measures in universities, colleges, and K-12 schools need to be robust and effective, yet unobtrusive. This can be a challenge for schools which have to be prepared for a variety of threats. Parents need to trust educational institutions to look after their children, so it is vital that they provide effective 24/7 security to ensure both students and staff are safe and protected at all times.

If your school district or organization is evaluating security, you should consider the following key questions when developing comprehensive lockdown procedures for any school or district. 

What are the best practices for lockdown systems in schools?

Because the size and characteristics of schools and districts vary widely across the country, a universal school safety plan or lockdown procedure does not exist. While each school might be better suited to a particular security system, require different hardware, or have specific vendor commitments, there is a set of “5P’s” that is universally applicable when it comes to security: Planning, Process, Protocol, Practice, and Prevention.
 

What are your procedures for school lockdown?

It sounds simple, but it’s vital to review your security procedures and protocols and develop a thorough understanding of every step. School administrators often want to focus on the capabilities of their access control systems and other security technologies first. But the first step should be planning and defining the process. Then, you should establish specific lockdown protocols–identifying exactly what happens (and doesn’t happen) during a live lockdown scenario. Access control systems are very important, but they are one component of an overall lockdown strategy. 
 

Who has the responsibility for instituting a lockdown and giving the all-clear?

Another crucial step is to identify not only who has lockdown responsibility and capabilities, but who is responsible for giving the “all clear” when the situation has been resolved. In addition, think about accountability: How do you measure the effectiveness of drills? This brings us to another of the 5P principles – practice. Did everyone do what they were supposed to do and at the right time? How do you know? Some access control systems give you auditing capabilities so you can objectively answer these questions. 

How will first responders access your buildings?

If all the doors to your building are locked in an emergency, how will first responders get into the school? This question is too often overlooked. Do your local first responders have physical keys to your schools? Modern access control systems offer the advanced capability of delivering mobile credentials that grant first responders immediate access for a specific amount of time, such as during a lockdown. 

What are the capabilities of your access control systems?

It is also very important to understand what your access control systems are capable of as well as what they are not capable of. Can one person lock down the exterior and interior doors of an entire school from one location? Can they do so from their mobile device, or do they have to be in an office or a certain room? Will your access control system function even if your network is down, or if the school has lost electrical power? Try to envision as many scenarios as possible. 

Do you also focus on Prevention?

Finally, the last of the 5P’s is prevention. As part of that, your access control system should restrict – or prevent – entry to school property by any unauthorized users.

Environmental awareness among hotels, workspaces, residential living, and most smart buildings is driving significant change in the industry. Sustainability practices are now widely viewed as critical factors in the successful facility management of smart corporate and hospitality buildings.

Smart building strategies include energy efficient access control solutions. Electronic locking systems can help solve challenges in operational efficiency, security, maintenance costs, occupancy, and sustainability. 
 

What energy consumption solutions are in place to reduce the impact on the environment?

Energy usage is one of the highest operating expenses for work spaces, shared living spaces, residential and the hospitality industry. In recent weeks, the prices of gas, coal, and electricity have risen to their highest levels in decades. The energy crisis is due to an ongoing shortage of energy across the world, which is affecting many countries. 

• On average, 90% of wasted electricity usage comes from the guest room, which can be a property’s most unmanaged resource.
• A room heating, ventilation, and air conditioning  (HVAC) system can represent 70-90% of that wasted electricity!

Smart access control and in-room sensors can bring a completely new level of intelligence to a building, and, in the process, provide information that can improve efficiency and operations. Sensors are able to detect a wide range of events and can seamlessly integrate with incumbent access control and energy-saving devices.

The SALTO Universal ESD system, plus existing integrations with SALTO technology partners, allows any type of building to optimize energy consumption by turning off lighting and adjusting climate control systems when guests or users are not in the room for extended periods.

The hotel industry has historically had a significant impact on the environment through its consumption of both energy and water. As the industry is bouncing back from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, supporting sustainable initiatives is of growing importance to the hospitality industry. An energy management system can reduce a property's energy costs by 15-40% with an estimated three-year return on investment. Without such a system in place, a hotel may be at risk of unnecessarily consuming exorbitant amounts of energy.

Using smart technologies and energy efficiency programs to save energy in buildings.

A key element in a comprehensive energy efficiency program involves specifying equipment, data-driven methodology to analyze building energy consumption, and energy efficiency savings estimates and products that meet certain energy efficiency standards and sustainability policies. SALTO solutions, technology, and products meet all of these requirements. 

In innovating to meet social and environmental challenges, SALTO’s Environmental Product Declarations (EPD), recently achievement of a silver rating in the EcoVadis evaluation ranking and 100% carbon neutrality for our factory headquarters and global office networks are some examples of sustainable innovation examples. These achievements are a major step forward in making keyless smart access technology sustainable.

Robust access control is vital for efficient, successful retail of any size or type — boutiques or big-box stores, owner-operated restaurants or fast-food chains, banks, supermarkets, discount stores, fitness center chains, gym franchises or clothing and fashion stores.

No matter the size, from specialist stores to convenience stores, which generally have extended opening hours, to even shopping malls, the right access control management is key. Monitoring access and entrances support the flow of customers through a store. SALTO Systems makes access control simple and secure and helps you grant specified access for your staff, suppliers, customers and even delivery services.

By developing innovative and reliable smart locking solutions that help retail establishments simplify their access management workflow, SALTO has helped retail businesses increase productivity, security, and operational efficiency no matter the nature of the store.

Integrating front-store and back-store access control, video surveillance, intrusion alarms, sensors, fire alarms, networks and other store management systems, gives retail and shop managers greater control and awareness of their site. SALTO Keys as a Service provides a scalable solution with multiple integrations and efficient ways of opening doors, including Digital Key for your smartphone.

Read ahead to find out how you can improve the user experience and safety for any store type with SALTO KS’ cloud-based access control system.

In SALTO’s pursuit of making the world more sustainable, we are proud to present the new ‘Eco Guest Key Cards’.

In SALTO’s pursuit of making the world more sustainable, we are proud to present the new ‘Eco Guest Key Cards’. Instead of using single-use plastic guest key cards, our customers now have the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy by changing to sustainable paper-based and wooden alternatives. Opening smarter doors keyless with a clean conscience.

There’s an increasing awareness of sustainability which we accommodate by introducing FSC-certified wooden key cards, made from wood fiber, to our credential portfolio. This way we enable our customers mainly in the hospitality business to offer their customers a more environmentally friendly stay.

The sustainable cards have proven to be equally durable compared to the traditional plastic guest key card, but, unlike plastic, bamboo and wood is a renewable and biodegradable resource that produces no pollution. The cards are entirely made from recycled FSC-certified paper or wood, and therefore contain 0 plastic while maintaining 100% of its structural integrity. Its quality, size, aestatic appeal and durability are so similar to its plastic carrier, the paper-based guest key cards are an excellent option for any business in hospitality that want to contribute to the circular economy.

“SALTO is committed to sustainability and we care about the environment. We have been an early adopter of emerging environmental initiatives that use more renewable resources and less paper, plastic, and fossil fuels in the access control industry” - Aznar Sethna, SALTO Systems Chief Sales, and Marketing Officer.

Just like traditional plastic key cards, the SALTO contactless guest key cards are embedded with a NXP MIFARE Ultralight® C RFID chip that is fully compatible with SALTO smart locks.

“Climate change is a threat that none of us can afford to ignore. SALTO sustainable cards is a clear and decisive statement that the SALTO Hospitality industry is ready to take on this challenge. And that's only the beginning! energy-efficient data management, the efficiency of cloud infrastructure, or IoT solutions to connect innovative SALTO products and services are all part of our Hospitality initiatives contributing to sustainability.” - Nora Urquiza, SALTO Hospitality Global Lead Manager

The bamboo and wooden guest key cards are available in 4 different manufacturing materials, from bamboo, cherry to black walnut, and the paper key cards can be branded with your own logo, so there is no excuse to use plastic anymore.

“With a great team and creating more assembly, at the end of the day we will be manufacturing environmental-friendly brand-new XS4 Original+ smart lock models to start production”- Aznar Sethna - SALTO Systems Chief Sales & Marketing Officer (CSMO)

We strive to provide a smart and efficient access control experience with SALTO KS. For this reason, we value your feedback on our solution and use that information to improve our iOS and Android apps. The following blog post will walk you through our latest developments! 

The latest SALTO KS app release brings a new way to transfer already activated IQs to another device. With this feature, we aim to ease the painstaking process of reactivating IQs one at a time, especially for large installations. When users switch their mobile devices, they now don’t need to worry about the hassle of migrating activated IQs. Now, any user can navigate to ‘Settings’ and tap on ‘Transfer IQ Information’ to start the process of migrating all activated IQs. Additionally, if you use the same iCloud account on both of your iOS devices, activated IQs can be transferred through the cloud. 

Below you can find an overview of the latest improvements and fixes within the iOS and Android apps including migrating IQs to another device.

How to migrate activated IQs to another device 

To migrate activated IQs to another device, please be sure to cover the below points before you begin the process:

1. Connect both devices to the same WiFi network.
2. Enable Bluetooth on both devices.  
3. Be sure you are logged in with the same SALTO KS account. 
4. Have both devices close to each other during the migration process. 
5. Grant permission to access the camera on your device. 
6. Grant permission to access the microphone on your device.

Step 1: 

For the first step, use the new device (receiver of migrated IQs). In order to migrate the activated IQs from your old device to the new one, you need to navigate to the ‘Settings’ tab and select the ‘Transfer IQ Information’ option under the ‘IQ settings and options’ section.

Step 2: 

Next, choose ‘Import IQ Information’ in order to generate a QR code. 

Step 3:

On the new device, follow the instructions on your screen until the QR code is generated.

Step 4:

For this step, you will use the old device (sender of migrated IQs). Once you have the QR code on the new device, you need to switch to your old device to scan the generated QR code present on your new device. Navigate to the ‘Settings’ menu and click on the ‘Transfer IQ Information’ option. This time, select ‘Export IQ Information’. This will pull up the scan QR code screen*.

*Please make sure to grant the right permissions to access the camera on your device. 

Step 5:

Scan the QR code generated on your new device. After successfully scanning the QR code with your old device, you need to switch to your new device to confirm that the migration is successful.

Step 6:

On your new device, confirm that migration of the activated IQs to your device is completed.

Additional points to note before migrating activated IQs are:

• The maximum number of IQs that can be migrated is 700.
• It is possible to migrate activated IQs between different platforms (iOS & Android), however, there may be some inconsistencies during the migration process in which case we recommend checking that camera and microphone permissions are granted on your device and then re-trying the migration. 
• iOS users can migrate activated IQs through the cloud. Make sure that your Apple devices have iCloud Keychain enabled and that you are logged in with the same Apple ID account on both devices. As you activate IQs on one device they should be automatically activated on the other device. 

Summary of What’s New in iOS and Android Version 8.2

This app release also enables searching and filtering IQs online and offline on the IQ page. 

Finally, we increased the minimum version of the supported operating system for our app to iOS 12 (previously it was supported until iOS 11). 

Bug fixes for iOS Version 8

• Moved the ‘About SALTO Systems’ links to the ‘SALTO Legal’ page.

Bug fixes for Android Version 8

• Moved the ‘About SALTO Systems’ links to the ‘SALTO Legal’ page.
• Fix for the crash issues when the language of the app is set to Arabic. 
• Fix for the keypad being active after searching for a user and navigating to the user detail page. 
• Fix for the Eagle Eye Networks live feed not showing the camera name. 
• Fix for the issue where searching for a user fails if a filter is applied. 
• Fix for the header of ‘Entries’ not changing when "Incidents" is selected.

The new version of the SALTO KS Mobile App is now available in stores for iOS and Android.

Program your Salto ProaAccess Space access control management software to send broadcast notifications in the event of a lockdown emergency.

No one wants to think of the unthinkable happening – an intruder in a school, inclement weather, and the like – but it’s best to be prepared, of course, in the event something does happen. Salto electronic smart access platform has the capability to enable AMOK lockdown mode, where authorized users can quickly and safely lock all locks in a building. Salto ProAccess Space software includes broadcast notifications, making it quick and easy to send immediate communication in the event of an emergency lockdown or pre-configured event.

Streamlined Communication for Safety and Efficiency

In an emergency situation that calls for a building lockdown, ProAccess Space can be pre-configured for security personnel to quickly send broadcast notifications to multiple recipients with just a click of the mouse. For non-emergency scenarios, broadcast notifications can be sent out on an as-needed basis to share updates on temporary issues that might affect only certain areas of a building or user groups.

The ability to send broadcast notifications is an excellent tool as it provides the power to quickly and easily contact as many recipients as needed. This is an important feature for any electronic smart access control deployment but is particularly helpful for universities, schools, healthcare, corporate smart offices and the like.
