TOP ADVANTAGES OF INSTALLING A SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM IN YOUR SCHOOL
Keep Students, Staff, And Facilities Safe and Secure
School and the education process should be a haven for everyone. These are the years when students develop the skills, experience, and friendships that last a lifetime. Regrettably, in current times, threats and conflicts can appear just around the next corner.
Installing or upgrading your school district's security alarm system helps prevent issues before they happen and quickly deescalate those that do. In addition, safety research organizations agree that a multilevel approach gives your dedicated officers the best chance to spot trouble and keep classrooms safe.

STOP UNAUTHORIZED VISITORS
Whether it is a non-approved parent, suspended student, or a non-school affiliated child keeping unauthorized people out of the facility and off the grounds is key. The entry areas are your first line of defense in stopping weapons, drugs, and violence from coming in.
Access control systems enable the use of keycards, facial recognition, and dial-in codes to provide an efficient flow of people. With the task of verifying IDs lifted from your safety team's daily routine, they can more effectively watch for suspicious activity or an out-of-place face.
THE UNBLINKING EYE
Surveillance cameras give you the power to keep an eye on all corners of your school from a central location. Utilizing a variety of all-weather housings, lensing options, and digital recordings, you can spot conflicts or unusual gatherings 24 hours a day.
Video security cameras have come a long way since the days of fuzzy images and low-quality tape-based recorders. Integrating a modern 8 MP system generates high-definition videos that are clear enough to spot the thermal signature of vape pens or read license plates. Administrators and top security personnel can connect to the system with a simple swipe on the mobile app, giving them the information they need to direct a response.
KEEP OFF-LIMITS AREAS SAFE
Every school has key areas that are restricted because of the inherent danger posed by the materials or the value of the equipment stored there. The temptation for theft or vandalism is great, from the chemistry labs to broadcast studios or the sports buildings.
Installing a mix of motion sensors, entry alarms, and key card tracking, you can instantly detect any movement during off-hours or when the spaces are idle. When tied to a notification system, administrators, staff, and authorized coaches and teachers receive alerts warning them of potential intrusions.
