Robert Haddad, principal with consulting frm Shen Milsom & Wilke in New York, says video is applied carefully in higher education settings at access points with special attention paid to ensure student privacy. What he sees is a proliferation of wireless locks on campus. He cites the lowering price point of wireless locks and the ease of installation. And, with better batteries these days, maintenance is easier, he said. The integrators concurred with Haddad to a degree. Haught said "wireless locks are a great product and they have their place," but the price is still prohibitive for some. "If we had a college with a new building, sure that's [wireless locks] exactly what we'd want to install," Haught said. However, it's harder to convince a customer with budget contraints to spend "$500 on a wireless lock versus $100 on a traditional lock." Installed properly, wireless locks are great for a college setting, according to Becker. "When wireless works, [colleges] enjoy the fact that the system man- COLLEGE Continued from page 33 ages itself," he said. With video and access, "it depends what the current infrastructure is like and what kind of dollars [the college] has to spend," Becker said. "You can spend a fortune on new infrastructure, or if you have an existing well- managed network with a lot of bandwidth … you can put a lot of doors on there." Wireless locks and card access also provide the important audit trail to campus security and law enforcement. "It's very important to know who is where [in real time], and [for forensic investigation] if they were there when they said they were," Tyco's Leitz said. While it's not a new technology, RFID tags attached to an ID can provide inexpensive real-time information about who is where on a school campus, crucial information in an emergency situation, Haught pointed out. Like video, however, RFID tags raise pri- vacy concerns for some. "Some are OK with it and some are not," Haught said. "I personally believe [it's benefcial for all] if you take the time to educate the consumer on the reasons behind using a technology on the front end." The customer, and in an educational set- ting, students and parents, "have to be able to embrace [the technology]. Some places do and some places don't," Haught said."
