START THE SEMESTER RIGHT WITH A SCHOOL DISTRICT SECURITY SYSTEM
Improve Your Coverage and Manage Access Across Multiple Schools.
With the new school year well underway, the question arises as to whether you have done all you can to ensure the safety of every campus. While maintaining oversight of one building is fairly straightforward, keeping tabs on multiple facilities requires specialized monitoring systems.
Using a centrally monitored cloud-based service offers the best coverage for a school district security system. By combining advanced technology with your trained staff, trouble can be stopped before it can start.

PROACTIVE PROTECTION
The best way to minimize any threat is to stop it before the fact. Teachers, parents, students, and staff are encouraged to follow the ‘see something, say something’ rule. This informal process often exposes potential threats, but this has a limited reach.
Security cameras with specialized software include pattern recognition algorithms that note unusual activity, gatherings, or off-schedule movement of students and staff. Human operators in a central station do their best to watch all camera locations, but the truth is physiological limitations mean much is missed. Cloud-based systems tag events of interest for individual officers to review and verify, leading to quicker response time.
Access Authorization
The first line of defense in any school is managing access to entry points. Using key cards allows students and staff to seamlessly enter and exit buildings, rooms and offices as approved without interruption.
A networked access control system instantly compares the ID used with surveillance images adding an additional layer of verification. Every time an individual enters or exits a restricted room such as the chemistry lab, communications studios, or athletic storage room, it is flagged and stored on a central server.
Confirming guardianship of students when they are being picked up outside of normal dismissal times is key to protecting children. The networked access control system, tied into local, state, and national databases, quickly determines if there are any protection orders, gang affiliations, or outstanding warrants.
