SMARTER SURVEILLANCE

Detection, or the ability to preemptively spot potential incidents, is crucial to establishing a quick resolution. A system that ties observation with AI technology and rapid response protocols will give your staff the tools to swiftly respond to critical situations.

A sophisticated camera surveillance system allows you and your team to monitor all areas of the campus. The use of rugged housings and image enhancement tools assures that no corner of the grounds goes unwatched, from the football field’s far boundaries to the library’s nooks. In addition, with advanced software that highlights unusual or atypical activities, monitoring operators can verify incidents and not miss potential trouble due to fatigue.

The threat of an active shooter in your school is everyone’s biggest fear; knowing exactly when one has occurred and where is critical to an effective response. Gunshot detectors use infrared and acoustic analytics to identify the sound and pinpoint the origin point positively. With precise information in hand, your response teams can initiate safety procedures and contain the actors.

ACCURATE ACCESS CONTROL

Managing access to buildings and even individual classrooms is one of your most important lines of defense. An efficient system works to verify attendance, control the flow of people, and keeps students and staff from gaining entry to areas they have no business occupying.

Keycards alleviate the need for physical keys or requiring teams of officers for each entry point. An additional option is facial recognition software, where a system can match the access request with photos on file, track individuals with advanced search, and capture their daily movements around the campus.

MESSAGING AND NOTIFICATIONS

During any crisis event, providing instructions and information is crucial to a safe and successful outcome. Emergency messaging and mass notification networks keep everyone up to date.

Having an infrastructure capable of distributing messages to different audiences allows you to send targeted texts. For example, you can send lockdown instructions to those inside buildings while alerting first responders with details. Likewise, when an incident threat is contained, notifications to parents, loved ones, and the community furnishes reunification directions.

SAFER SCHOOLS FOR SMARTER STUDENTS

The research is clear – when students feel protected from violence, dangerous weather, and outside intrusions, they do better in their studies.
