Student housing security solutions

Student housing security includes the tools, technology, and processes that help protect student living communities. For many campuses or universities, that means access control, security cameras for student housing, visitor management, and 24/7 remote video monitoring. Our security experts can help you build a plan that fits your community.

Property managers often combine access control, video surveillance, visitor management, and 24/7 monitoring. Access control systems help manage who can enter buildings and shared spaces while video security provides visibility into everyday activity. Remote video monitoring adds another layer of protection by catching events or unusual activity when on-site teams aren’t there.

Access control makes student housing safer and easier to manage. Students can use mobile credentials for convenient entry, while property teams can control who has access. Student housing access control systems also provide a record of access events, so property teams can investigate incidents and better oversee who is coming and going. Property teams can quickly add or update permissions, and mobile credentials reduce the risk of lost or stolen keys, badges, or fobs.

Yes. Kastle integrates student housing security with your property management software and the other platforms that your property already uses, so move-ins, move-outs, and unit changes update access automatically. You can also use most of your existing hardware and cameras with Kastle.

Student housing security costs vary depending on the number of buildings and residents, the solutions needed, the overall project scope, and whether you’re leveraging managed security for student housing. Our team of security experts can build a program tailored to your needs.

On-campus housing security is typically part of the university’s broader security program, while off-campus student housing security is covered by the property owner or manager. Both include the same types of security solutions, like access control, video surveillance, remote monitoring, and visitor management.
