Schools

CCTV

Every school has areas that need to be watched 24 hours a day. Main entrances and exits, car parks, ICT suites, playgrounds, reception areas and classrooms are examples of such locations.

One of our individually designed CCTV solutions will give your school peace of mind in knowing that your school's key areas are being watched over - providing a large degree of deterrence to any would be intruder or wrong-doer. However, should an incident take place your system will record and archive everything that it sees.

A powerful tool for implementing and monitoring behavioural policies, it also means that in situations where an impartial view is required your school will always have both sides of the story should an allegation be made.

CCTV is ideally suited for use as a classroom management tool to help improve behaviour as well as protecting the high value assets within classrooms.

There is far more to school safety than gates, cameras, alarms and software
Our products will safeguard staff, pupils, parents and school property but that is only half the story. The other half of the story is addressing the factors that lead to the need for these products in the first place. In essence it is all about asking:-

Why do some pupils engage in vandalism, truancy and theft?
Why do some pupils bully others?
Why do some parents threaten staff?
Why do some pupils make false allegations against members of staff?
Why do some pupils feel isolated at school and become victims of bullying?

Addressing these questions will go a long way to shift the focus from identifying and punishing towards prevention and cure.

A comprehensive school CCTV security solution should have two key focuses:

To create the maximum perceived risk in the mind of the potential wrong-doer.
To be able to capture and archive any incidents should they still take place, with sufficient image quality to be able to identify, discipline and/or prosecute with confidence.

The key here is the level of perceived risk that the CCTV system creates - it is far preferable for schools to deter the potential wrong-doer in the first place than to suffer the crime, identify, catch and potentially prosecute.

CCTV is increasingly being used for non security applications such as this.

“We already have a CCTV system”

You may already have a CCTV in your school but we find that many of the schools that we advise had old and outdated systems. Typical examples are:-

Tape driven recording devices where people forget to change the tape
New buildings have been erected or amended since the original cameras were installed so the cameras do not cover all areas
Old cameras that do not give a good quality image

Door access system

With one of our professionally designed and installed door access systems you can monitor and restrict who has access to various parts of your school. Whether it be a simple door entry system on your main entrance door or a computerised fingerprint recognition internal door access system for all your staff and pupils, we will have the right solution for you.

Via the computer software you will be able to see who has been through which door at what precise time thereby not only restricting access to authorised people only but also being able to track when access has been gained.
