Libraries

Video surveillance is essential for public libraries to monitor the premises, deter potential criminal activities, and provide crucial evidence in case of incidents. Additionally, it contributes to maintaining a secure environment, optimizing operational efficiency, and enhancing the overall safety of patrons and staff.

Avigilon video surveillance offers tailored solutions for public libraries with high-resolution cameras that capture clear, detailed images. The advanced video analytics, including object recognition and unusual activity detection, assist in identifying potential threats, such as theft, vandalism, or suspicious behavior. The Avigilon Control Center (ACC) centralizes video management, allowing for easy monitoring of multiple locations and access to both live and recorded footage. Moreover, the system's scalability ensures it can adapt to the changing needs and requirements of public libraries.

Alternatively, Ava video surveillance focuses on cloud-based technology and artificial intelligence to provide advanced security solutions for public libraries. The cloud-based infrastructure offers numerous benefits, such as easy scalability, lower upfront costs, remote accessibility, and seamless software updates. With the Ava Aware intelligent video management system, public libraries can detect and analyze unusual activities, such as potential incidents involving patrons or staff. This real-time information enables library personnel to respond promptly and mitigate risks.

Leveraging machine learning, Ava video surveillance adapts to the library environment, providing more accurate alerts and reducing false alarms. The system's compatibility with a variety of cameras and hardware ensures a flexible solution suitable for different facility layouts and sizes.

Access control systems are crucial in public libraries to restrict access to sensitive areas, such as staff offices, storage rooms, and special collections. Implementing robust access control measures not only protect valuable assets and safeguard sensitive information but also ensure a safe environment for patrons and staff.

OpenPath Access Control offers a cloud-based system that is easily adaptable to the unique needs of public libraries. Its centralized management capabilities simplify the process of granting or revoking access rights, monitoring real-time activity, and generating detailed audit trails. The touchless, mobile-based access control minimizes the risk of unauthorized access by replacing traditional physical access cards with secure mobile authentication.

Multi-factor authentication options provided by OpenPath further enhance the security of library facilities by requiring users to present their mobile device along with a secondary form of identification, such as a PIN or biometric authentication. The system's ability to integrate with other security solutions, including video surveillance and alarm systems, creates a cohesive security ecosystem that provides comprehensive protection.

Customizable features specific to public libraries allow for tailored access levels and time-based access permissions, ensuring that personnel can access designated areas only during specified times. This level of control helps reduce the risk of unauthorized entry and contributes to a safer and more secure environment for patrons and staff.
