What Is Remote Monitoring?

Remote monitoring uses cameras to keep an eye on things from a distance. Instead of an on-campus security officer, who can be distracted or unavailable and leaves after school has ended, remote monitoring watches over your school 24/7, catching trespassers and others with ill intent, even if they occur during closed hours. 

Benefits of Remote Monitoring in Special Education

More Safety

Keeping students safe is crucial, especially for those with special needs who may be more at risk of bullying or accidents. Remote monitoring provides an extra layer of protection by constantly monitoring students, ensuring that any concerns are promptly addressed.

Better Communication

Remote monitoring systems come with tools that improve communication between teachers and parents. Teachers can share video recordings with parents, informing them about their child's progress and any difficulties they might be encountering.

Behavioral Insights

For students dealing with behavioral challenges, remote monitoring can shed light on patterns and triggers. This information is important for crafting impactful plans and interventions to manage behavior.

How Remote Monitoring Works

Dedicated Cameras

Cameras set up in classrooms allow your staff to see what students are up to in real time. Authorized staff can check these feeds to make sure everyone's involved and safe during class. In the hallways and during lunch, parents and staff can rest easy knowing their children and students are being watched over in case of any bullying incidents.

During off-hours, remote monitoring protects your school from theft or trespassing. This can be especially important for special education classes, as they often have specialized equipment and technology that is easily breakable, easy to steal, and expensive to replace.

Parental Involvement

Many remote monitoring systems allow parents to log in and see what’s happening in their child’s classroom. This is a wonderful way for parents to stay connected to their child’s education and collaborate closely with teachers.

Remote monitoring is powerful when it comes to supporting and keeping students in special education safe. It provides personalized support, boosts safety, and facilitates communication.

Done right, remote monitoring can completely transform special education, making sure every student gets what they need and no one gets left behind.
