SGGW Security Management Centre: One System Instead of Many

We co-created a Security Management Centre that brings video surveillance, access control, key cabinets, fire safety systems and intercoms together into a single, unified platform.

Nearly 80 hectares, dozens of buildings serving different purposes (from lecture halls and laboratories, through dormitories and sports facilities, to administration and the library), and thousands of people moving around the grounds every day. The SGGW campus is effectively a small town. Over the years, its security systems were expanded step by step: cameras, access control and software appeared in different places and at different times, but each element operated on its own. Our task was to bring them together into one coherent whole.

Video Surveillance in a Single VDG Sense System

The first stage was to put the video surveillance in order. All cameras on campus were integrated into the VDG Sense VMS. Operators now work in a single environment, supported by video analytics that automatically detect specific events. The system architecture is ready to be expanded with further analytics, for example to manage and control vehicle traffic on university grounds.

Access Control and Key Management: iProtect + Safekey

Next, we turned to access control. We integrated the iProtect system with Safekey key cabinets, managed through the iManager application. As a result, door access rights and key access rights are linked and managed in one place. The university knows exactly who can enter where and when, and who has access to which key. With so many rooms, users and constantly changing permissions, this is an essential solution.

PSIM WinGuard: The Heart of the Security Management Centre

All subsystems come together on the PSIM WinGuard platform. It integrates:

• VDG Sense video surveillance,
• iProtect access control,
• Safekey key cabinets,
• visualisation of fire safety systems,
• Commend intercoms, including SOS help points located across the campus.

When an incident occurs, the operator sees it immediately on a map of the campus or a floor plan of the specific building, with a ready-made response procedure at hand. Standardised incident handling and documentation support the university in meeting the requirements of the amended National Cybersecurity System Act (KSC), in force in Poland since 3 April 2026.

Results

Security on the SGGW campus now works systematically, according to clearly defined procedures. The university has gained:

• one management centre in place of scattered systems,
• real-time incident handling,
• clear rules for entry, vehicle access and key access,
• a scalable foundation for the further digitalisation of the campus.
