Through the example of school turnstile installation for many years, we know that campus safety accidents occur frequently, so the school also continuously improves the management measures and updates the security products in the aspect of security management. And in practical application, our school turnstiles can be integrated with third-party management systems to better serve and protect schools and classmates.
How many and what types of turnstiles do I need for my school security project? Let’s start with these two issues that customers are most concerned about and provide a detailed introduction to the school turnstile.
School turnstile’s core value
School turnstiles are key facilities for ensuring campus safety and improving management efficiency, and their core values are reflected in five aspects
1. Enhance security: School turnstiles accurately and quickly identify the identity of incoming and outgoing personnel, ensuring that only authorized personnel can enter the school, accurately controlling personnel entry and exit, and strictly preventing unauthorized personnel from entering the school. Greatly reduces the possibility of illegal intrusion. By using technologies such as card swiping and facial recognition, we ensure that only legitimate teachers, students, faculty, staff, and registered visitors are allowed to enter, thereby improving the security of the campus. Build a strong campus safety barrier. Provided a safer environment for the campus.
2. Efficient passage: School turnstiles can complete identity verification in a short period of time, achieving fast passage. During peak commuting hours, the efficiency of school turnstiles can help avoid congestion and ensure smooth entry and exit of personnel. School turnstiles can manage visitors by registering them and issuing temporary passes to ensure their identity is legal. They can also control the entry range and time of visitors, ensuring the safety of the campus.
3. Convenient management: School turnstiles can automatically record the passage records of incoming and outgoing personnel, including time, personnel information, etc. These data can be used for attendance management, visitor statistics, etc., providing convenience for campus management. The school turnstiles automatically record the entry and exit time and frequency of teachers and students, providing real-time data support for accurate attendance and attendance statistics, significantly improving management efficiency and transparency.
4. Reduce manual intervention: Traditional campus access control systems often rely on manual management, which can lead to negligence and misjudgment. School turnstiles can achieve fast self-service access, avoiding the tedious process of traditional manual identity verification, saving time and labor costs, and improving entry and exit efficiency.
5. Enhance campus image: As a modern technology product, the stylish and high-end exterior design of school turnstiles can enhance the overall image of the school and demonstrate the school’s pursuit of technological and intelligent management. School turnstiles, through intelligent control, are an essential core support for enhancing campus image, safety, precision management, and data empowerment capabilities.
School turnstiles are a key facility for building a smart, safe, and efficient campus. It is not only a powerful security guard, but also an intelligent management tool that improves management accuracy, empowers data decision-making, and optimizes resource efficiency, providing solid support for the daily operation and security of the campus.
Customized quality school turnstile:
A school is a place with high requirements for environmental safety and security, so it must be equipped with relatively good access control management equipment. Our school entrance and exit management solution from Mairs is mainly aimed at scenarios where people enter and exit densely at the entrance, dormitories, libraries, and other places. We make optimizations that are suitable for higher levels of safety in schools. We provide various types of turnstiles for many schools, which are used in student activity centers, sports centers, entrances, Dormitories, libraries, etc.
The turnstile gates we use in school projects are equipped with a full 2.0 mm thickness 304 stainless steel chassis, using customized mechanisms that are more secure and stable, and also providing third-party identification equipment.
We specialize in customizing some high-quality and high-specification turnstile gate machines for school projects, such as the tripod turnstile gate below, which is made of full 2.0 mm thickness brushed stainless steel and has a relatively large size. This makes the entire school turnstile gate machine thick and stable, making it difficult for two adults to lift it.
Considering the special environment and needs of the school, we generally provide customized services for customers from the following aspects:
1. Advanced dustproof and waterproof design
The school turnstile must have a special dustproof and waterproof design to cope with the special environment of the school and solve the problem of dustproof and waterproofing in outdoor/semi-outdoor environments.
The school turnstile entrance gate is generally installed in an open or semi-open environment, and there is a high requirement for dust and water prevention of pedestrian turnstile gates. The dustproof and waterproof level of the cabinet at the dormitory turnstile gate is up to IP65, and the core accessories of the mechanism are treated with rust prevention. The structure of the entire machine is designed specifically for outdoor use, and can withstand harsh environments such as outdoor sunlight, rain, wind, sand, rain, snow, and large temperature differences between day and night for a long time.
2. Accelerate traffic speed and solve congestion problems
The opening speed of the dormitory school turnstile gate should be fast, and the opening speed of the inlet and outlet gates can reach 0.3-0.6 seconds; Students swipe their cards multiple times in a row, and the school turnstile gate will record all traffic requests and keep the door open. Pedestrians can continue to pass without closing doors, greatly improving traffic efficiency. Based on the above situation, students do not need to worry about congestion through the gate during peak class hours.
3. Widen the passage to facilitate students’ cycling.
Most students on campus ride bicycles or electric bikes. Considering that the school turnstile gates in the apartment area are likely to be installed in an outdoor environment, the latest solution for school turnstile gates is suitable for widening outdoor passages. The outdoor pedestrian and vehicle shared gate is very suitable for these two requirements. The channel width of this outdoor turnstile gate can be customized to 1 to 2 meters, allowing pedestrians, bicycles, and electric vehicles to pass through at the same time. Its door swing can withstand frequent violent impacts, and students accidentally hit the door swing, so there is no need to worry about the gate being hit.
4. Multiple verification methods for improving user experience.
Schools can use identification methods such as QR codes, fingerprints, and facial recognition based on their own security management requirements. Face recognition is currently a very popular method and has been used by many schools. For this section, you can refer to our other articles: QR Code Turnstile, turnstile gate with card reader, and Face recognition turnstile.
The facial recognition speed gate turnstile designed specifically for school entrance and exit management can make dormitory entrance and exit management simpler and more efficient. Compared to other verification methods, facial recognition speed gate turnstile has many advantages: only a person needs to be present on-site to pass facial recognition verification, without the need to carry other verification cards. Its recognition speed is 300ms, and the recognition rate is higher than 99%, which is faster and more accurate; Moreover, face recognition has the advantages of uniqueness, non-contact, non-mandatory, difficulty in disguise and deception, and higher security levels.
How to select a school turnstile?
Based on many years of experience in the campus scene, Mairsturnstile creates a professional school turnstile solution for customers, which can effectively solve the problems faced by access control on different occasions such as campus gates, dormitories, gymnasiums, libraries, etc.
The school turnstile gate can be connected with the access control system, alarm system, student information system, dormitory management system, home, and school interconnection system, etc., to form a unified management platform, exchange information, respond to all kinds of events in a timely manner, improve campus safety level, and create a healthy, safe and convenient campus environment for students.
What types of turnstiles are commonly used in schools? Next, let’s analyze them based on specific locations.
1. The entrance and exit of the entrance gate
In these places, we usually recommend customers to choose a swing turnstile gate, flap barrier turnstile, full height turnstile, and revolving turnstile.
Due to the fact that school gates are generally in an open or semi-open environment, with relatively high requirements for dust and water prevention, we generally recommend using an outdoor turnstile. Due to the variety of styles and models, standard or widened-type are generally chosen according to the situation.
Install school turnstile gate equipment at the entrance to effectively prevent outsiders from entering. The main types of turnstiles are fast-passing swing turnstiles and flap barrier turnstiles, which have anti-pinch and anti-tailgating functions, making them more effective and assisting security personnel in inspecting school entrances.
The entrance turnstile gate machine is generally installed in an open or semi-open environment, inevitably exposed to sunlight and rainwater, which has high requirements for the dust and waterproof level of the school turnstile gate.
2. Dormitory entrance and exit
In these places, we usually recommend customers to swing turnstile gate, and flap barrier gate.
Based on the needs of teachers and students’ dormitories, the width of the entrance for male and female students’ dormitories, and the need for ID verification, different solutions are developed. By using IC/ID cards and facial recognition methods to control the entrance and exit of the gate switch, it is convenient and fast to prevent outsiders from entering the dormitory.
Generally, the entrances and exits of dormitory buildings are semi-closed. The installation of school turnstiles for management can reduce the work pressure on the staff, and accurately identify the identity of passing personnel. Authorized personnel can enter and exit freely, and visitors need to register and authorize to enter and exit, effectively avoiding salesmen, burglars, and murderers from sneaking into the dormitory area.
The teacher in charge of campus security can also know whether all students have returned to the dormitory within the curfew time according to the traffic data collected by the school turnstile gate and access control management system, which is convenient and fast.
3. Library entrance and exit
In these places, we usually recommend customers to tripod turnstile gate, swing turnstile gate, and flap barrier turnstile.
The library turnstile is used for an indoor environment, and an indoor swing turnstile and flap barrier gate can be selected. Swing turnstiles and flap barrier turnstiles have high plasticity and can match different decoration styles. Face recognition, code scanning, card-swiping, etc. can be used to identify the identity of passers-by. For example, students and teachers are authorized to enter the library, and visitors are not allowed to enter.
The school library, as a place for teachers and students to borrow books, prevents unauthorized entry and exit of personnel outside the school, avoids unsafe incidents, and uses single or multiple channels to achieve one-way entry management. There is no access control school turnstile gate at the exit. If there are campus entrances and exits that are the same, multiple school turnstile channels can be used according to the area of use. The recognition method can use card swiping or facial verification, and it is recommended to choose a swing turnstile gate, flap barrier gate, or sliding turnstile gate.
4. Sports Center
Gym turnstiles security gate, if in the room, indoor swing turnstile gate, flap barrier gate, and tripod turnstile gate can be used. If outdoor, outdoor swing turnstile gate, and tripod turnstile gate can be used. Verification methods can be selected face recognition, scan code, swipe card, and so on. These areas are generally paid after class, turnstile gates are used to identify traffic personnel, and only paid or other authorized personnel is allowed to enter.
No matter which identification method is used at the entrance or exit, it is aimed at improving campus security and providing convenience, in line with people’s pursuit of fast and intelligent living.
The type of pedestrian turnstile gate installed in the school is also selected according to the school type and the specific actual situation of the installation site. It is also a different choice for different types of schools such as kindergartens, primary and secondary schools, and colleges. How to choose pedestrian turnstile gates in different types of schools and installation sites? Below, school turnstile manufacturer – MairsTurnstile recommends some practical solutions and products for the reference of users in need. Of course, you can also contact us directly and let our professional salesperson provide the solution suitable for you according to your needs.
Kindergarten
Children in kindergartens are relatively small, so they can choose a small swing turnstile gate and add the verification method of human face recognition. The swing turnstile gate passes faster, has better anti-pinch performance, and has higher safety when children pass. After parents pass face recognition, parents’ names, parents’ registration photos, baby photos, etc. will appear. The security personnel can intuitively verify whether the transfer personnel is effective to ensure the safety of children’s transfers.
Primary and secondary schools
In primary and secondary schools, the gate of the school is generally in an open or semi-open environment, which is inevitably exposed to the sun and rain. There are high requirements for the dust, water, and sunscreen level of the gate. A flap barrier gate or tripod turnstile gate can be selected.
The flap barrier gate and tripod turnstile gate have relatively good waterproof and sunscreen performance, which can meet the requirements for outdoor installation and use. In addition, the flap barrier gate and tripod turnstile gate are relatively fast and can pass about 30-35 people a minute. There will be no congestion during the peak period of going to and from school. They have a strong anti-tailing ability. Only one person is allowed to pass through one authorization at a time, and outsiders do not have access to the school. It is also difficult to follow students. They can also connect with the smart campus system to understand students’ school situations in real time.
colleges and universities
In high schools and universities, the turnstile gate machine is selected according to the installation site. If it is the school gate, the anti-collision swing turnstile gate can be selected. The swing turnstile gate has the functions of waterproof, sunscreen, and anti-collision. There is a large flow of people in and out of class during the peak period, and there are many students riding bicycles.
The swing turnstile gate can not only meet the traffic demand of high traffic but also meet the sharing of people and vehicles. It is suitable for passing by bicycles. Even if students accidentally hit the turnstile gate when riding, the school turnstile gate also has an anti-collision function, which has strong resistance to destruction and will not be damaged by small bumps. Flap barrier gates can be selected for dormitories, libraries, canteens, and other places. The flap barrier gate has a high appearance grade and fast opening speed. It can not only improve the grade of the place but also manage the access in an orderly manner to avoid access congestion.
