    The Challenge

    As the leading higher education provider in India, attracting high caliber students from around the globe, ensuring the safety of students, staff and facilities is most critical for Manipal University. Manipal University set challenging objectives for Honeywell to deliver in order to meet the high security and safety expectations at their campus. Specifically, these objectives were:

    1. To streamline access control and ATM banking facilities through the utilisation of a collective, Smart Card
    2. To centralise CCTV and access control across the entire campus via LAN and monitor it for external threats and misbehaviours
    3. To monitor and control the theft of personal belongings on campus
    4. To restrict unauthorised entry and regulate student movement in highly secure areas
    5. To monitor selective areas via CCTV surveillance to identify breach of security incidents
    6. To manage student movement not only throughout the hostels but also throughout the entire campus
    7. To manage entry restriction to oncampus facilities such as the library and sports complex
    8. To manage vehicle movements in and out of and within the confines of the campus
    9. To ensure that any new systems installed were flexible enough to cope with future expansion of the University

    Honeywell was awarded the contract in 2007 due to its outstanding track record of delivering high security solutions in educational institutions and universities across the globe.

    The CCTV and access control integration capabilities of the combined-functionality Honeywell Smart Card together with dedicated customer service support were other winning factors in the successful bid.
