Correctional Facilities.

Protecting staff, inmates, visitors, and surrounding communities with WinGuard, the open integration platform for secure and coordinated facility operations.

The Challenge

Risks rising.
Regulation tighter.

Correctional facilities must protect officers, employees, visitors, neighboring communities, and inmates while preventing escape, unauthorized entry, assaults, and operational disruption. Reliable communication is essential, but it is only one part of a complex security environment that may include intercom, radio, telephone, personal distress devices, video surveillance, perimeter protection, notification systems, and administrative databases. During an incident, teams need verified information about people, locations, occupancy, and system status without delay.

  • Protection for everyone on site

    Staff, inmates, visitors, and neighboring communities require coordinated security at all times.

  • Reliable communication

    Intercom, radio, telephone, and notification systems must remain available and work together.

  • Controlled movement

    Teams need current information about occupancy, incidents, and authorized movement throughout the facility.

  • Immediate situational awareness

    Alarms must be linked with location, floor plans, video, and relevant administrative information.

The Platform

Everything at a glance.

WinGuard brings communication, video, notification, perimeter protection, personal distress, and administrative systems together in one operational environment. Messages can be visualized automatically on floor plans and combined with available video and location data. Operators gain a complete view of employee safety status, occupancy, and current incidents, while predefined procedures support changeovers, rerouting, and coordinated responses. The flexible integration platform connects information from different systems and databases so that control-room teams can act quickly and securely based on the full situation.

  • Unified Control
  • Coordinated response 
System architecture for energy operators: server, hot-standby, surveillance, client, video wall and mobile workstations connected over LAN; integrated subsystems include fire alarm (FAS), intrusion (IDS), CCTV, access control (AC), radio, public address (PA), perimeter and IoT

Scenarios & Solutions

The situations WinGuard handles.

01 / 04

Responding to a personal distress alarm.

When an officer or employee activates a personal distress device, every second matters. WinGuard receives the alarm, identifies the person and location, and automatically displays the relevant floor plan, status information, and available camera images.

Control-room teams can coordinate the response through connected intercom, radio, telephone, and notification systems. The consolidated view helps them deploy support quickly while maintaining awareness of other activity in the facility.

02 / 04

Securing the perimeter during a critical incident.

A perimeter alarm, unauthorized movement, or suspected escape attempt may trigger information from several systems at the same time. WinGuard combines perimeter detection, video, communication, and available administrative data in one incident view.

Operators can verify the situation, locate the affected area, and coordinate the required measures without switching between separate applications. Relevant teams receive consistent information and can respond according to predefined procedures.

03 / 04

Maintaining control during movement and handovers.

Shift changes, escorted movement, and temporary route changes require accurate, current information. WinGuard displays occupancy status and active incidents and supports defined changeover and rerouting scenarios so that staff retain the ability to act at all times.

By connecting communication and administrative systems, the platform helps different posts and control rooms work from the same operational picture and reduces the risk of information being lost during handovers.

Companion use case

Controlled access for staff, contractors, and visitors.

Correctional facilities must manage different access requirements for permanent staff, external service providers, contractors, and approved visitors. Role changes, temporary assignments, and expired approvals can create security gaps when identities and authorizations are maintained manually in separate systems.

AIM centralizes identity and access-right management across the existing access-control landscape. It supports standardized enrollment, approval-based provisioning, and prompt revocation when a person leaves or no longer requires access. Security teams gain a clearer overview of who is authorized to enter specific staff and service areas while existing access-control infrastructure can remain in place.
