Hello, At HUC-JIR we have installed the Point Guard system (version 7.0), there are some real Pro's and Con's to it. Most of the cons are vendor specific, like limited vendor support locally, vendor availability. The product seems to do what it should be expectations at the time of the sale versus what was delivered have colored the install. The product can scale pretty well, but it's almost more bang than we need here. I would easily echo Ben's point, don't rush it and do the research!

There are card readers on the outside of every residence hall and as needed on academic buildings and other locations inside buildings. We still use keys on residence hall rooms since the cost of adding card readers to every room, like hotels, is not justifiable. Be warned though that this solution is not a quick one to implement and should involve considerable research as well as an extremely specific service agreement. _____ From: Paul Younker [mailto:Paul.Younker () GREENVILLE EDU] Sent: Monday, March 07, 2005 11:13 AM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: [SECURITY] Physical access control systems We are researching door access control systems for possible implementation in a building we are remodeling. I am looking for some help in identifying potential systems. What door access control systems are some of you using? Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
