St Lawrence Academy

Paxton10 Provides Multi-Site Access Control for Academy Trust

The St Lawrence Academy is a school for 11- to 16-year-olds, located in North Lincolnshire, UK. The school is currently undergoing an expansion, so they looked for an access control system that would provide an extra level of security for their pupils and staff, and could add new buildings and users to the system as the school grows.

Requirements

At the beginning of 2023, St Lawrence Academy investigated installing a new access control system at the school as they were establishing their own Multi-Academy Trust (MAT). The main requirements were to be able to access the system remotely, the ability to administrate multiple sites with varying groups of users, and that it has the potential to be integrated with other products and systems to maximise functionality.

Solution

Paxton10 is a future-proof system that combines access control and video management. Its online user-interface allows administrators to access the system from any device with an internet connection, making it easy to manage and monitor the security of a site. Paxton10 takes access control management to the next level with it being scalable up to 100 sites on a single system with up to 1,000 doors, 1,000 cameras and 50,000 users. The system’s features fulfil the St Lawrence Academy’s security needs.
