CASE 1: THE EARLY MORNING INTRUDER 

Imagine it's 3:00 a.m. at your high school campus. All is calm and quiet when suddenly, a window is shattered in a distant corner of the school, setting off an alert at our 24/7 monitoring center. Because of the school's intrusion detection system, a live video feed immediately shows an unauthorized individual entering the premises. Within minutes, local law enforcement is alerted and dispatched to the school. The would-be intruder is quickly apprehended, and the school community remains safe.

CASE 2: THE AFTER-SCHOOL BREAK-IN ATTEMPT 

It’s 5:00 p.m., and your middle school is hosting an after-hours event for students and parents. Amid the hustle and bustle, an individual tries to force open a side door that's usually locked at this hour. The school's intrusion detection system triggers an alert, and onsite security personnel are immediately notified. With the fast security response, the would-be intruder is deterred, keeping students, parents, and staff in the school safe.

CASE 3: STOP THE CRIME BEFORE IT STARTS 

A key feature of intrusion detection is deterrence. It’s 8:00 p.m. at your elementary school, where prominently displayed signs provide notice of a monitored intrusion detection system. These signs alone are often enough to deter potential intruders. In this case, a would-be vandal approaches the building and, seeing the sign, chooses to pass by the school rather than risk being caught by the security system.

These real-life scenarios underscore intrusion detection systems' critical role in our schools. They provide an extra layer of security and complement the efforts of onsite security personnel and law enforcement agencies. They also detect intrusion attempts, help apprehend criminals quickly, and deter those who might consider causing harm to our buildings or students.
