Never Be Out of Touch with A Remote Surveillance System

 Surveillance is an essential component of any school. Keeping an eye on grounds, buildings, and the actions of those who occupy them ensures everyone’s safety.

Not so long ago, a school could lock the doors at the end of the day or employ a guard to walk the grounds. While these deterrents do provide some security measures, today’s threats present themselves at all hours and ever more creative ways. Locks can be compromised easily, and the administrative staff cannot always at the right place at the right time.

A remote surveillance system provides a complement to existing services while offering a more comprehensive approach to create a safer facility. Are you intrigued by how you can have better control of your River Oaks, TX schools? Read below to find out more.

Protection Around the Clock

Your safety officers, teaching staff, and even students are all on the outlook for danger. Even with this team effort, signs can be missed, and intruders can slip by. A remote connection to the school camera systems and alert messaging means you have the entire complex under observation at a glance.

Whether you are on the property, away for a conference, or even on vacation, you and the administration can view activities from a mobile device or anywhere you have an internet connection. After hours does not need to be a blackout zone; with the ability to log in at a moment’s notice, there is no need to dispatch an officer until you verify.

Be Everywhere, Always

The modern campus is often spread across several buildings and sometimes to additional locations like sports facilities. You cannot be physically present at every place at once, but you still need to manage safety and access. The ability to view different locations and numerous cameras for each on the same page means you oversee operations from a single spot.

While keycard access furnishes individuals with the means to enter authorized areas on their own, there are times when doors will not cooperate, or tradespeople need to be granted temporary access. There is no need to break staff from their regular duties; simply open the electronic locks to allow entry.

Smarter Security

A dedication to professionalism and adherence to protocols does not guarantee that every threat will be prevented. In the cases when an event does occur, having high-definition recordings are essential.

Quick and simple access to the digital video footage allows you and your team to identify suspects, apprehend them, or provide video evidence to law enforcement and courts.

Now, More Than Ever

A new academic year is closer than you think, and this year will see a return of students who were distance learning.  Are you ready to manage all your locations?
