THE SCENARIO:
Almost 3,000 mosques are established across the United States, which support nearly 3.5 million American Muslims. Crimes against these communities have become frequent, and a small network of mosques in the Northeast became concerned with the threat of intrusion and vandalism.
Their first step to a visitor management solution was to lock the entrances at all hours, but this made the mosques less accessible to members. They wanted to provide a quick and simple way for personnel and members to conveniently enter their mosques while screening members of the public to deter criminal activity. It was also important to have a flexible system that could integrate with their auditorium’s sound system.
THE SOLUTION
The mosques chose an IP intercom that could integrate with their existing sound system. Emergency towers and an access control system were added to complete the solution. If an emergency occurred, alerts could be broadcast through their mosques while triggering a lock down event.
Personnel and members could quickly access the mosques with their adhesive disc tags and a single administrator now had the ability to screen calls for the entire network of mosques from one location. Strategically placed emergency stations and towers with highly visible cameras discouraged unlawful activity while providing a way to call for help.
