Smart, Efficient Security at Work & School

In our current day and age, it is more important than ever to protect our students and their teachers. School communities in Lubbock, TX, are no exception. Unfortunately, the situations that drive the need for security are only growing and increasing in complexity. That’s why ASAP Security Services has made its mission to protect schools across Texas with the latest and most advanced commercial security systems available. 

Read on to learn more about the systems keeping our schools safe and the smart devices securing every space, from the front door to the classroom.

Access Control

Metal detectors at the school entrance just don’t cut it anymore. After all, a comprehensive, proactive, and—when possible—preemptive approach to security starts outside the front door. At ASAP, we partner up with companies like OpenPath to create this first line of defense with their advanced access control solutions. 

Card, fob, smartphone, and even biometric readers are also available for other doors across school property, limiting access to certain areas whether there is an emergency or not. For administrators, managing access control points remotely allows for a more efficient and immediate lockdown response, buying precious minutes and minimizing catastrophe. 

With all this said, creating a safer school environment through smart security systems takes a lot more than securing your access points.  

Sensors & Alarms

Depending on the situation, we offer a range of smart sensors and alarms to be integrated with access control and other security systems at school. Prior to an emergency, for instance, smart weapon detection systems use non-invasive infrared scanners to detect guns remotely, reporting potential threats to administrators, monitoring stations, and law enforcement agencies in near real-time. 

Since no smart device is immune to failing, we also recommend installing gunshot detection sensors across the campus. These acoustic sensors can differentiate between the bang of a gunshot and similar sounds, generating detailed data that may even include the type of weapon being fired. 

Surveillance & Analytics 

Modern surveillance cameras are perhaps the central component of most commercial security systems. Among their many features are self-learning analytics that rely on individual, face, and vehicle recognition to flag, filter, and report relevant events. That is, of course, when they are installed properly and integrated with other smart devices. For example, integrating cameras and mass notification systems allows for the rapid detection of a threat and its report to the entire school community. 

The right products and a professional installation are your only guarantee that every system will work as needed during an emergency. Contact us to learn more about how we can help with both!
