Keeping your students and personnel safe is essential to creating a positive learning environment. While many tools can help you achieve this, a school surveillance system is one of the most useful because it allows you to keep an eye on your campus and detect abnormal activity, which is key in preventing robbery, vandalism, and attacks.

Being such a vital element for security, you probably already have a surveillance system in place, but is it really effective still? In this blog, we’ll go through three unmistakable signs that it’s time to call Circle Industries and update the surveillance system on your Harlingen, TX campus.

Your Cameras Have Low Video Resolution

There's no use in having cameras throughout the halls of your school if the resolution is so low that you end up with recordings of blurry shadows instead of detailed pictures of any potential felons. If your camera can’t provide identifiable pictures, then it’s just the same as if you didn’t have them at all! Our high-grade video surveillance installations allow you to get clear images and prevent any risks to your students, staff and property.

You Don’t Have Video Analytics

If you installed your surveillance system a while ago, chances are you don’t have video analytics installed. Video analytics is a system capable of discerning normal from suspicious behavior. 

For example, your system can ignore cars passing by but send you a notification if anyone approaches your school’s entrances late at night. Video analytic systems can also be trained to detect fires, unauthorized objects and people going into forbidden areas.

You Can’t Monitor Remotely 

Suppose there is a break-in at your school building on a late Friday night. With your current surveillance system, your cameras can only do as much as recording the robbery. School administration will likely find out until next Monday; by then, the chances of catching the thief will diminish severely.

With an upgraded system, you can get real-time notifications of these events and take a look at the cameras in your school from anywhere in the world. This way, you can keep track of anything that goes on at your campus and give emergency services a call if needed.
