Security is paramount in campus environments. While campus safety is often associated with emergencies such as school violence and accidental injuries, daily access control and personnel management are actually the foundation for protecting the lives and property of teachers and students, as well as maintaining normal teaching order. Traditional manual management is prone to human errors, leading to inefficiency and security risks. Internet of Things (IoT) technology can play a crucial role here by providing advanced campus access control solutions to better ensure campus safety.

Challenge

A large full-time primary and secondary school is facing increasingly prominent security management challenges. Located in a densely populated residential area, the campus has multiple functional areas including teaching buildings, laboratories, and dormitories, making traditional access control management models inadequate. Speciellt, the school only installed simple card-swiping access control systems at the main gate and dormitory entrances, allowing visitors to enter the campus by following teachers and students without strict verification. This has significantly increased the risk of unauthorized intrusions and harassment from external personnel.

 

Dessutom, student attendance still relies on classroom roll calls and paper-based registration, which is cumbersome for data statistics and prone to proxy sign-ins. Without real-time personnel positioning and tracking, administrators have no knowledge of students’ locations. In emergency situations, administrators need to conduct floor-by-floor searches to locate individuals, resulting in lengthy response times. Därför, there is an urgent need to update the management system to enhance the overall campus safety level.

Lösning

To address these challenges, an intelligent IoT campus solution based on Ble and NFC technologies has been adopted. Each teacher and student is equipped with a card-shaped personnel fyr with built-in Bluetooth and NFC capabilities. Each card is uniquely linked to the user’s personal information, storing key data such as identity details, grade and class, and access permissions.

 

After entering the campus, teachers and students can use their cards to quickly access various functional areas through the NFC access control system. This system strictly restricts unauthorized access cards without corresponding permissions will be recognized as invalid and denied entry. Under tiden, NFC readers automatically record entry and exit times, enabling accurate automatic check-in and attendance management, completely eliminating the problem of proxy sign-ins.

 

Ble gateways are strategically deployed throughout the campus to build a full-coverage Bluetooth network that monitors the location and status of all personnel card beacons in real time. Electronic fences are also set up, allowing administrators to quickly detect and respond if anyone exceeds the designated boundaries, ensuring students remain in safe areas.

 

For external visitors, the school issues temporary personnel positioning card beacons. System administrators can monitor visitors’ movements in real time while setting limited access permissions and validity periods. Cards are collected when visitors leave, effectively preventing unauthorized individuals from wandering freely on campus.

 

By implementing this IoT solution, the school will successfully transform into a safer, more efficient, and modern smart campus environment.
