Paxton for Education
Schools and education facilities have a responsibility to keep their employees and students safe and protected in addition to protecting the premises and equipment from damages. Paxton security systems provide a simple easy-to-use solution that offers a range of benefits from managing schedules to automated door opening and intruder prevention.

Automated Security
Security automation enables efficient running, gaining more from your building’s security solution.
- Auto expiration indicates the time period that a user’s access is valid. Configuring automatic expiration also allows for access between certain dates/times.
