Protect Your Staff and Students with a Weapons Detection System

Schools should be safe places for students to learn core skills, socialize, and explore their hobbies and interests. However, with increased school violence, many students and teachers may worry more about their safety and find it hard to focus on academics. Implementing a concealed weapons detection system in your Houston, TX school makes your school a safer place where students can focus on what’s important. Avigilon is a high-quality security system used at schools across Texas. They offer video surveillance, access control, video analytics and more, and all of their solutions can be controlled through the Avigilon Control Center. 

The concealed weapons detection system, powered by Evolv technology, integrates with your Avigilon Control Center for ease of use. If the alarm is triggered, it will instantly send an alert to your ACC, which will notify all security operators. In addition, the concealed weapons system will stream live video to the ACC alongside security camera footage.

Touchless Protection

While many schools use metal detectors and security wands, these can make school entry a hassle and raise students’ anxiety. No student wants to be waved down by a security wand or have to empty their pockets before starting the school day. The Avigilon concealed weapons detection solution is touchless, quicker, and more efficient than traditional security solutions.

The concealed weapons detection system can screen up to 3,600 people an hour, or about 60 people per minute. So there is no need for students to walk in one by one. The weapons detection system will screen all students even if they are walking in a crowd. So students and staff can rest assured that they are protected without the hassle and anxiety of walking through security screens every morning.

Security for Your Needs

Schools typically have multiple entry points, and you can set a concealed weapons detection for each door. You can install the system indoors or outdoors to fit your school’s security needs.

No matter where you place your concealed weapons detection system, it will detect any threat immediately so you can instantly respond. If a threat is detected, you can use facial recognition and appearance tracking features to find the threat quickly to keep your students and staff safe.
