Newcapec Smart Access Control Solution for Universities

I. Pain Points of Access Control Management in University Scenarios

Universities worldwide face growing challenges in managing access across multiple campus entrances and facilities. Traditional access control solutions often rely on manual verification, causing long queues during peak hours and inconsistent security checks. With access points spread across campus gates, dormitories, libraries, laboratories, and office buildings, standalone access control devices make it difficult to centrally manage permissions for students, faculty, staff and visitors.

Paper-based visitor registration is also inefficient, with incomplete records and limited traceability. Meanwhile, disconnected door access control terminals create data silos, making it difficult to update access permissions promptly when users join, change roles, or leave the university. These legacy systems increase administrative and maintenance workloads while creating potential security gaps.

Modern campuses need a centralized and intelligent access control system that connects multiple access points, enables automated identity verification, supports flexible permission management, and provides better visibility into campus access activities.

II. Newcapec Entrance & Exit Access Control Solution

Newcapec smart campus access control solution is designed for universities worldwide, providing centralized management of campus entrances, access points, and user permissions through a unified platform. The solution integrates access control terminals, biometric devices, turnstiles, smart door locks, and surveillance cameras to connect identity verification, device management, and video security into one intelligent campus access control system.

The system supports multiple authentication methods, including facial recognition, RFID campus cards, mobile NFC, and QR codes. It can be deployed across key campus areas such as main gates, dormitories, libraries, teaching buildings, and administrative facilities. Powered by AI video analytics, the system can detect abnormal activities such as tailgating, multiple-person entry, reverse passage, climbing over access equipment, and prolonged loitering by unknown individuals. It automatically captures evidence, records events, and triggers alerts, reducing the need for continuous on-site monitoring and enabling more proactive campus security management.

The platform supports role-, time-, and zone-based access permissions, allowing administrators to configure different access rights for students, faculty, staff, and visitors. It can also integrate with attendance and campus management systems to keep access permissions up to date based on changes such as enrollment, graduation, leave, onboarding, and departure, reducing the workload of daily access administration.

An integrated visitor management module enables visitors to submit access requests online in advance. Once approved, temporary access permissions can be automatically assigned to designated access points. Facial recognition and identity verification help ensure secure visitor access, while access records, captured images, and timestamps are centrally stored for easy tracking and auditing.

By connecting access control, biometric identification, visitor management, and AI video surveillance, Newcapec helps universities build a smarter and more secure campus environment. The solution improves access management efficiency, simplifies daily administration, and strengthens security across multiple campus scenarios.

III. Solution Advantages & Industrial Experience

Product Advantages

• Unified Management Platform: Centrally manage campus access control terminals, biometric devices, and AI security devices from one platform. Administrators can monitor device status, access activity, and security alerts in real time, while remotely configuring devices and assigning permissions in batches.
