High school installs kiosk-based security program

November 6, 2006

Charleston Daily Mail: A West Virginia high school has installed LobbyGuard, a kiosk-based system equipped with a camera that requires visitors to insert their driver's license and answer a series of questions.

It produces a computerized record of every outsider's visit, including the person's name, time and date of entry and his or her destination inside the school. The kiosk also prints a peel-and-stick nametag complete with each visitor's name and photo.

The visitor kiosk instantly checks a visitor's name against national and state sex offender registries and other criminal databases, and it notifies the appropriate school and county personnel if a match is made.
