Latest Innovations and Technologies
Classroom AV Solutions
Today's educators, especially at the university level, often rely on AV solutions like commercial displays and projectors to deliver lectures. Additionally, many schools offer hybrid and remote learning options, where instructors use video conferencing products such as headsets and webcams to teach the class. ADI carries everything you need to accommodate in-person and remote learning alike.
Access Control
ADI's inventory of access control products gives administrators and security personnel the means to manage their campus on every front. ADI offers entry and exit products for gated parking lots, keypads and readers for secure areas, and solutions like push-to-exit buttons, turnstiles and walk-through metal detectors for pedestrian traffic. Many ADI products can be integrated into centralized access management systems, allowing the educational institution to keep tabs on who is coming and going across the entire school.
Intrusion and Gunfire Detection
Today, safety is a top priority for schools. And in active shooter situations, faster response times help to reduce fatalities. Help your customers respond faster with the help of ADI's suite of intrusion-based products, which are ideal for supporting school safety. With gunshot detectors, motion and perimeter sensors and security sirens and strobes, ADI has what schools need to react faster.
Fire
Whether it's a local pre-K or an Ivy League college, fire safety is always of paramount importance. ADI's portfolio of smoke and heat detectors, fire control panels, alarm pull stations, notification and voice evacuation solutions, alarm communicators, accessories and other products features the most trusted brands in the industry, and can accommodate everything from chemistry labs to dorms to cafeteria kitchens.
Paging and Intercom
Elementary, junior high and high schools typically depend on paging and intercom systems to quickly locate students or employees, broadcast announcements and relay emergency information. Similarly, many colleges and universities incorporate emergency paging systems. ADI offers the microphones, emergency call stations, area of rescue signs and related products that give the school administration an open line to the rest of the campus.
Video Surveillance
School security is a central concern for all types of educational institutions, and ADI's suite of video surveillance solutions give administrators the means to safeguard perimeters, hallways, parking lots, stadiums, campus quads and other points of interest. Multiple cameras sold through ADI support video analytics and AI functionality, including gunshot analytics, giving security personnel the power to monitor foot traffic, track vehicle license plates and alert users of suspicious activity as it occurs.
Sensors
Every school has private areas where surveillance cameras and video recording devices are not an option. Here, cutting-edge sensors can add the requisite layer of security. ADI offers sensors that can detect gunshots and cries for help, as well as environmental sensors that can pick up behaviors like vaping and smoking in restrooms. ADI sensors can also be installed to detect chemical spills and hazardous gas leaks in places like laboratories and maintenance closets.
Theater, Auditorium and Stadium AV
From school plays to guest speakers to the first game of the season, most schools need AV solutions that can be used to address a crowd. ADI sells essentials such as commercial displays, mixers, amplifiers, stadium speakers and microphones with varying capabilities and price points, giving you the ability to accommodate a wide range of campus events and activities and ensure that the audience is satisfied with their audiovisual experience.
Networking
ADI offers a comprehensive selection of hubs, switches, routers, wireless access points, PoE injectors, repeaters and other products to keep IT systems and mobile devices communicating on campus. Whether it's for a professor sharing a YouTube clip from her laptop during a lecture, a security guard who just spotted a crime-in-progress in the parking garage, or high school students posting selfies from this year's homecoming dance, ADI networking products can be trusted to get the job done.
Structured Wiring
Every school, regardless of size, purpose or student population served, will need wiring infrastructure. ADI's structured wiring product line includes modular connectors, inserts, patch panels and cables, enclosures, workstations, outlets and more.
