In the next two years, HISD will be completing the installation in all of its schools advanced enterprise-wide access control systems, supplied by Continental Access Control, a division of NAPCO.

Continental Access enterprise class access control systems offer a scalable interoperable platform. The system allows for lockdown capabilities and has real time event linking, mapping and scheduling.  The system can be deployed using a wired, wireless or hybrid solution.
