I'm seeking advice on successful deployments of visitor management systems for K-12 schools. I like the idea of it using a registered sex offender database service and an in-house database to monitor for parental custody issues. Anyone have experience with how well (reliable, accurate, easy to use, fast) those systems work in a busy school environment? Did the community support the deployment?
Best Visitor Managment System For K-12 Schools?
Bueller?... Bueller?... Bueller?
In my area, the classroom/student management system is also the visitor management system. Seems like CBord and Blackboard are common.
Requests for common, non-integrated Visitor Management Systems in K-12 seems relatively rare.
Easy Lobby from HID will do sex offender database cross reference. It's not cheap though. You also have to pay for the database on a per site basis. Building your own, in house database is possible also. You just have to have your own SQL database server to hold it all (which you have to have regardless)
Raptor is another big one.
Thanks for your replies. Since my original post several months ago, we have decide on Open Options as our access control system. It appears that PassagePoint from STOPware integrates with that ACS.
This is likely to niche of a topic, but anyone experienced with STOPware?
Easy lobby is the best out there for schools in my opinion. Most major platforms will integrate to it and it is pretty quick and efficient for searching the sex offender databases etc.
