Challenge: Disparate security systems

With three buildings equipped with different access control systems, the Clinton-Macomb Public Library needed a more streamlined way to manage access. When choosing a new solution, they wanted a government compliant door entry system that combined site management to make building and room access easier. The library also lets patrons reserve study and meeting rooms, and was looking for technology compatible with their current hardware and library app to grant secure access to these areas.

Solution: Fully integrated access

Avigilon offers robust security and the versatility of managing multiple sites in one system for effortless management.

  • Secure, convenient entry

    Switching to Avigilon’s mobile-based system lets library staff use their phones for secure access, eliminating their old cumbersome key cards.

  • Adjustable access permissions

    Flexible schedules and granular permissions support varying levels of access, from full-time staff to those that only visit a few times a month.

  • Intuitive software with advanced features

    The cloud-based dashboard allows admin to monitor access in real-time for all buildings, with automatic alerts and remote unlock.
