Strengthen School Security with Updated Solutions

Every school strives to create a positive learning environment where students and teachers can focus on improving the quality of education. But with so many reports of violent acts at school, you cannot instill peace of mind till you have a highly functional commercial security system in place. 

Standard school security solutions aren’t enough to keep intruders and threats at bay. Instead, you need the most updated solutions with the most advanced security features. 

Read on to discover what makes a foolproof security system for your Austin, TX, school.

Smart Surveillance Cameras

Standard security cameras can only monitor activities on campus. While that may be great for using as evidence, it doesn’t really ‘protect’ your school from threats unless you have a security team constantly monitoring the footage. And even with such a solution, your school security isn’t error-free. 

But smart surveillance cameras have advanced capabilities that do so much more than monitoring. The cameras are equipped with AI that can distinguish routine activities from unusual ones. 

For instance, if there is a huge crowd, the smart cameras will dispatch security alerts to your connected device, allowing you to handle the situation before things escalate. 

You can also program the cameras to work in sync with alarm systems. If any threats are detected, the alarm system will get triggered, which gives everyone enough time to reach a safe zone or evacuate the building. 

Access Control 

Access control is a vital feature to keep intruders away from your school. Only the staff and students that go to your campus will have access. 

But access control isn’t only implemented at the front gate. You can distribute it throughout campus. In the event someone does manage to break in, or someone from inside the school becomes a threat, you can quickly lock all doors. Anyone behind closed doors will remain safe in their location until help arrives. 

Access control can be implemented as a school security solution in different ways. You can add facial recognition, ID card scanning, or PIN codes, depending on the level of security required. 

mass communication and two-way intercoms

A mass communication system makes emergency management more efficient. As soon as a threat is detected, you may relay safety instructions to students and teachers right away. Moreover, when paired with a two-way intercom, students and staff can even ask for help or update the administration of their current location. With CrisisGo’s Safe2SpeakUp, students can also report incidents of bullying and security concerns without worries.

On the other hand, AND’s mass communication system gets the message across the campus with its eye-catching graphics and text displays.
