Constant Surveillance

One of the most impressive features of threat detection technology is that it monitors your school 24/7. With the help of surveillance cameras, you can quickly distinguish between actual threats and false alarms. That’s because today’s smart cameras are powered by AI and advanced video analytics. They recognize problems and take action. For instance, if your cameras detect something out of the ordinary (i.e., unusual movement, a car with a specific license plate, loitering, or even the face of a suspect in your database), you’ll receive an alert so you can respond accordingly. 

Immediate Alerts and Notifications

When a gunshot, smoke, fire, or any other threat is identified, you’ll know about it - immediately! When set up properly, your threat detection system can also send alerts to the authorities, as well as mass communications to school staff, parents, and the local area. To avoid needless panic, teachers and other staff members can take safety measures per the K-12 security protocol to ensure the situation is handled as smoothly as possible. 

It allows you to react to emergencies quickly and efficiently. Safe evacuations and automatic door locks are also some preventive actions to protect students from threats.

Electronic Access Control

Electronic access control will always remain a vital element of school security. Not only does it allow you to keep tabs on student and staff activity, but it also helps prevent security breaches. If a threat is detected, the electronic access control system immediately locks all doors or specific ones, preventing anyone from entering or exiting school property. 

Additionally, when the school is facing danger, teachers and security teams can lock doors with a single button press to strengthen security. It keeps an armed intruder at bay and gives you the time to call the police and get your people to safety.
