Te Wānanga o Aotearoa
The Challenge
Educational institutions create a unique challenge when it comes to implementing a security solution. Their open design provides a welcoming environment that fosters learning and offers a community atmosphere, yet at the same time they need to provide a safe learning environment and prevent unauthorized access to restricted buildings.
With sites at more than 120 locations in 80 towns and cities throughout New Zealand and over 30,000 tauira (students) enrolling each year, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa is one of the country’s largest tertiary education providers.
Their existing system was struggling to cope with the demands of a distributed site, with any network issues leaving the system unable to communicate and posing a significant security risk. The interface would often become slow and unresponsive, making management difficult and leaving operators powerless.
The search was on to find a robust solution that provided management from a single location. Enter ProtegeGX...
The Solution

Now installed across more than 20 sites, the system has proven to be robust, reliable, and easy to use. Built with scalability in mind, it is ideal for enterprise wide installations that span large geographical areas, while providing cost effective expansion options for future growth.
The extensive feature set combined with the intuitive and user friendly interface, makes for a simple yet powerful solution. Seamless integration with the Geutebrück DVR system allows CCTV footage to be displayed directly from Protege GX, providing a cohesive all-in-one solution and powerful real time incident management.
Status pages are used to provide a live graphical view of what is happening in the system, and the comprehensive reporting capabilities enable operators to easily obtain detailed and relevant event information.
