We are using some home grown scripts that notify by sending text messages or emails whenever a device shows up on the network. All open source and notifications are usually within seconds of the device showing up. We get the location information from Cisco WCS. This is also scalable to include multiple campuses/schools. If anyone wants details of how we are doing this, just let me know.
