Some of our fondest childhood memories are made at school. From the classroom to sports events, our schools are a place for our children to learn and grow. And creating an environment that is conducive to that means having safe and secure facilities so students and faculty have the freedom to teach and learn with security. Bellaire and surrounding school campuses can achieve this with fully integrated school security systems featuring video surveillance, access control, mass mapping and notifications, and gunshot detection systems.  

As any school administrator could tell you, it’s impossible to have eyes everywhere on a school campus. Even small schools contain too much open space, too many students, and too many buildings to see everything occurring during the course of a hectic day.

School surveillance cameras give crucial oversight to places where teachers, staff, and administrators’ eyes can’t be. Clear surveillance footage helps administrators identify crime, bullying, vandalism, suspicious persons, violence, fights, illicit drug or alcohol abuse, and other threats that jeopardize students’ safety and security. The placement of security cameras is critical to ensure comprehensive coverage. Keep reading to learn four locations where surveillance cameras are most effective in your Corpus Christi, TX, school. 

When you think of access control in a school or any organization, you think about security. Access control solutions, first and foremost, are about security. But like many solutions that can track and collect valuable information, school access control can do more for your Austin, TX school district.

Discover several ways to use an access control system to go beyond security and improve day-to-day school operations.

As school security administrators, you prepare for a lot of scenarios, but preparing for an active shooter response has to be the toughest. The implications of such an event on your campus can be disquieting. Your job is to provide the training and tools that allow your staff to carry out its two main goals: prevention and intervention.

Prevention includes officers with their feet on the ground actively listening and watching for any developing situations or chatter. While a physical presence helps mitigate potential dangers, your staff cannot have their eyes and ears everywhere, especially in the din of hallways between classes. 

A comprehensive security and communication network in your Memorial, TX school gives you the added tools to pinpoint trouble, direct students and staff to safety, and guide first responders to intervention.
