SURVEILLANCE MADE SMARTER

Any law enforcement organization will agree, the earlier you are aware of an incident or the threat of trouble, the more likely you will be able to resolve it with minimal harm. In order to act preemptively, you require the installation of superior surveillance and proven AI technology. 

A networked camera system combines extraordinary 8MP video quality and reliability to cover every corner of campus. The sophisticated image enhancement tools allow you to capture sharply detailed records of individuals’ features, license plates, and items they are carrying. In addition, lensing and housing options will enable you to keep watch over any area and in any weather conditions. 

AI tools scan live video streams looking for anomalies or known conditions that lead to active threats. The software identifies situations and alerts human operators to review and verify. With predictive technologies, you can stop dangerous events almost before they happen by dispatching staff quickly to the exact area in question. 

ACTIVE ACCESS CONTROL

The entry points of your school are the first line of defense. Managing access to parking lots, campus buildings, and classrooms is your best opportunity to prevent individual threats from getting inside. An efficient system verifies attendance, controls the flow of bodies, and keeps staff and students from gaining entry to spaces they have no business occupying. 

In order to avoid congestion and delays caused by officers checking each ID card, electronic keycards and biometrics eliminate the need for physical keys or someone at every door.

The IDs can be used to track individuals through the day and capture their daily timeline on recordings. Furthermore, when a student loses their card because of negligence or theft, it is easily deactivated in the system, preventing its misuse. 

NOTIFY, INFORM, MESSAGE

Providing information and instructions is crucial to a safe and successful end to any crisis event. Mass notification and emergency messaging networks keep everyone up to date. 

An infrastructure designed to distribute messages to different audiences offers you the ability to send targeted texts. For example, send lockdown instructions to students inside buildings while alerting first responders with location details. Likewise, notifications to parents loved ones, and the community furnishes reunification directions when an incident threat is contained.

SAFER SCHOOLS, BETTER RESULTS

The research is clear - when students feel protected from violence, dangerous weather, and outside intrusions, they do better in their studies. So, isn’t it time you upgraded your school’s security infrastructure? Call us at 833-424-7253 or fill out our contact form to set up a consultation.
