A Safer Learning Environment

Your school security strategy exists to build a safer learning environment for every teacher, student, parent, and staff member who steps foot in your building daily. Constant monitoring is essential to a school security strategy for several reasons.

Early Detection

With 24/7 monitoring, you can get ahead of the game concerning threats to your school's security. This feature allows you to act appropriately with law enforcement or first responders before a dangerous situation escalates. 

Quick Response Time

Because of early detection, you'll have a quick response time to incidents, whether threats of violence, bullying, or adverse weather. Our monitoring team can help you mitigate the impact of whatever situation you face, ensuring safety and consistent communication as issues unfold. 

Threat Deterrent

The fact that your campus is under constant surveillance can act as a deterrent in many ways. Not only is it immediately less likely for someone to attempt to harm students or staff due to the presence of security cameras, but it can make a massive difference in student and staff behavior while at school. 

Evidence

If something does happen, we can assure you that our constant monitoring makes it easier to determine what happened and those responsible. You'll also have access to all past footage, so you’ll have no issue acquiring necessary footage for legal purposes.
