Reinforcing entry points should be the first step in any security strategy. The problem is thinking that access control should begin at your building. It’s important to protect your perimeter as well with extensive vehicle access control. Yet, many industrial and commercial sites in Harlingen, TX, still rely on manual gate checks, physical clickers, or outdated keypad codes that are easily shared or lost. 

That not only leaves you vulnerable, but it also creates traffic bottlenecks. Verkada’s vehicle access control combines AI-powered license plate recognition and cloud-based management to help automate entry for employees and vetted visitors. You get touchless, high-security gate solutions that provide protection without hindering your day-to-day operations. 

How often have you seen employee time derailed because of lost items? It doesn’t matter if it's an employee or client on the hunt; the time dump is still there. But what if you could use your video surveillance to search for you? 

Verkada’s video surveillance does it via its Command Platform. Its search-by-attribute feature lets you look up footage based on specific events, objects, or times of day. Look for someone in a blue backpack or to see when a door was opened. 

How can you take advantage of this tool in your McAllen, TX, business or school? At Circle Industries, we partner with this high-tech AI-enabled company since it helps reduce the daily grind for managers and administrators in the following ways. 

Valley storms and hurricanes are a real concern for schools throughout the Rio Grande Valley, as they bring sudden, high-velocity winds. Suddenly, the large windows that bring in natural light, so vital to engaging school environments, become a liability. Broken windows create dangerous debris for students and staff and could cause property-wide damage.

When we install security film in schools throughout Harlingen, TX, administrators have intruders in mind. But security film is also a year-round safety net against storms. It becomes a vital tool to keep staff, students, and property safe from broken glass and debris. 

Is the glass in your school’s entryway strong enough to withstand a heavy object or a forced entry attempt? Standard glass remains the weakest point in a facility's physical security. It creates a risk of rapid entry, and dangerous flying shards add unnecessary risks during incidents. 

While administrators want to keep campuses secure, without it feeling like a fortress. Projectile-resistant film is a popular approach for Brownsville, TX, schools. But how is it possible that a small layer of film could keep windows from breaking during an attempted breach?
