With complex access control requirements, protection of extensive perimeters, intensive CCTV coverage, video analytics and stringent fire safety requirements, prisons are a uniquely-challenging environment. Their needs can be met effectively by ASL Safety & Security’s 3D iVENCS site management system as well as the company’s analogue and IP-enabled PA/VA equipment. Use of wireless PA and VoIP is particularly useful for staff needing to communicate between themselves and inmates over large areas.

The 3D schematic of ASL Safety & Security ’s iVENCS system, allows staff to follow the progress of inmates around a facility should there be an escape attempt. The company’s IP audio routing abilities (notably intelligent Public Address amplifiers) and wall or rack-mounted BS5839:8 Intellevac voice alarm units allow effective communication in the event of a disturbance.
