Detect and Deter

Schools are busy places with hallways filled with students moving to and from classrooms, physical education in the gymnasium, and team practice on the outdoor fields—you have a lot of ground to cover.

A sophisticated video monitoring system uses predictive AI-based technology to recognize and report activities indicative of trouble or call out unusual gatherings that could lead to violence. It is agreed that having advance notice gives you the power to prevent issues; in addition, the simple presence of cameras has been shown to reduce the likelihood of criminal activity. 

Complete Coverage, Near or Far

Cameras are only as good as their installation location; a well-thought-out design covers every area of concern. Whether watching the cafeteria, keeping an eye on the football field, or ensuring the parking lot is secure, the difference between prevention and a problem is knowing. 

Modern surveillance equipment offers a variety of all-weather housings that are vandal-proof and resist marring, scratches, and dents.
