Creating a Safe School Environment with Intelligent Security

One of the most important upgrades in school security is utilizing smart systems. These systems provide proactive measures, alerting security and administrators to possible intruders and criminal action, stopping the unthinkable before it occurs. 

At ASAP Security Services, we partner with Ava Security to bring schools in Lubbock, TX, and the surrounding areas, intelligent security. Their smart cloud-based security cameras and powerful AI video management system analyze video feeds, identifying unusual or suspicious events and objects and sending notifications instantly.

Let’s see how Ava Security is helping protect students and staff throughout Texas.

Easy Integration

Ava Cloud Video Security integrates with numerous ONVIF-compliant security cameras and access control systems. Custom integrations send automatic notifications to security personnel, administrators, and superintendents. The system is scalable to thousands of cameras and straightforward to implement.

Increase Response Times

In a security event, the reaction time is critical, with slow response times leading to devastating consequences. Whether responding to an active shooter, a vehicle of interest, an assault, or bullying, Ava Security provides intelligent analytics that results in immediate notifications, enabling security to react proactively and respond immediately. This intelligent system not only notifies personnel, but also pinpoints the exact location.

Older systems lead to a reaction after an incident has occurred, with many operating only to collect evidence. Using AI and machine learning, Ava detects anything unusual, including behaviors and people or vehicles of interest, and sends alerts before the threat escalates. Users also receive a notification if an unidentified loud noise occurs and its exact location. It even recognizes specific sounds, such as gunshots and screaming. 

Smart Video Analytics

Powerful forensic searches enable quick searches of people or objects of interest. Thanks to machine learning, security can comb through extensive hours of video within seconds. Configurable maps of a school campus allow for situational awareness, with each map including alarm and camera views and the ability to track objects and people as they move around the area. 

Ava’s Spotlight

The system also brings relevant video feeds to the attention of the security operator, with real-time notifications on the video wall. Using self-learning and intelligent algorithms, it detects abnormal behavior, such as someone walking up a staircase at an unusual time, and sends an alert while highlighting the video. 

This intelligent video security system takes security operators from data overload to quickly accessing and making proactive security decisions. Thanks to its cloud-based technology, superintendents and security can monitor the school grounds anytime and anywhere.

Keeping all Areas Safe

One of the issues facing schools is preventing vaping. Students choose areas where security cameras can’t be placed due to privacy considerations and legal concerns. That’s where smart sensors come in. These can detect changes in air quality and various chemicals, including smokeless devices, and differentiate between THC and cigarette vapor. The closest camera zooms in, capturing a video of the students as they leave the area and sending it to security.
