Keeping Campuses Safe

Colleges and universities face complex access control concerns. From doors to parking gates, turnstiles to elevators, residence halls to academic buildings, your campus has numerous entry and exit points that require secure oversight and control to ensure everyone’s safety. CS Access is Illumia's comprehensive access control solution built specifically for higher education campuses.

Security with Connivence

CS Access supports immediate, automatic information exchange and provides complete control from a single platform. A native add-on module of CS Gold, CS Access is fully integrated with the campus card system and leverages its features.

Administration and Assignments

Leveraging your campus card system’s existing tools and integrated student information, access assignments for housing, recreation, and classrooms are completely automated through CS Access. System administrators can create access schemes using schedules, holidays, and groups. If something needs to be changed quickly, remote lock, unlock, open, and lockdown are easily accessible. Distributed administration provides precise controls that only allow users to see or update specific locations. Calendars, schedules, and patron groups are shared, so each user group can build on what already exists, and information is consistent throughout the system.

Mobile Credentials and Biometrics

With frictionless mobile technology leading the way, campus identity systems are replacing traditional campus card systems. Instantly and remotely issue, revoke, and reactivate credentials through your campus card office with mobile credentials. Our mobile credential support for campus ID cards offers a more convenient and secure way for students to access the services they use every day.

Through CS Access, register biometric credentials quickly, and positively identify users while they are still in motion at an access point. Our CBORD solutions fully support the shift to these new technologies that increase student safety and satisfaction, reduce plastic, and optimize movement through campus.

Zone Emergency Lockdown

Our emergency module provides a map of your entire campus to allow security to quickly enable lockdowns for specific buildings, zones, or the whole campus. A mobile option even supports this functionality using a smartphone.

Reporting

Standard reports and the alarm logs associated with CS Access provide the ability to sort alarm events based on user-definable criteria, including all alarms viewed through alarm mapping. CS Access also features COVID-19 contact tracing reports to facilitate accurate tracking of positive cases throughout campus.

Intelligent Hardware

Illumia partners with industry-leading hardware providers like Allegion, ASSA ABLOY, HID Global, Mercury Security, and IDEMIA to enforce access privileges across campus. Choose from a range of hardware systems to meet the needs of any access point environment on your campus. The intelligent control panels interface with CS Access in real time for reliable privilege enforcement and security.
