As parents, educators, and community leaders in Harlingen, TX, our top priority is ensuring the safety and security of our students and staff. Unfortunately, many people hold other ideas, as has become evident by the rise in school violence across the United States over the past decade.

At Circle Industries, we have made it our mission to use technology to protect school communities across Texas.

INTEGRATED, AUTOMATED ACCESS CONTROL

Automated business access control solutions are central to any school security system. Featuring non-invasive technology, such as remote smartphone readers and weapon detection sensors, they are also a long way from the metal detectors American students have sadly grown used to. With access control, you can monitor everyone who enters the building, providing you with a list of suspects if an incident occurs. Furthermore, the access control system will send administrators notifications if unauthorized individuals attempt to enter the school, giving you time to contact first responders. 

However, even these new technologies aren’t perfect on their own. That’s why at Circle Industries, our access control solutions are integrated with video surveillance, alarm systems, and remote monitoring stations.

So, how would this work in a real-life situation? First, an access control system will pick up an intruder as they attempt to break in, immediately alerting school officials and a monitoring station. Simultaneously, a school-wide emergency notification system and the electronic locks on every door kick into action. That is an efficient response, which is exactly what you want in an emergency!

COMMITMENT BEYOND THE INSTALLATION

At Circle Industries, we are committed to school security long after the installation is complete. How so? We offer our clients ongoing support and maintenance for their security systems, including periodic system checkups, updates, upgrades, and expansions. As new technologies become available or new threats emerge from the depths of American society, we will be ready to install and counter them respectively.

The good news is we are here to help you at every step of the way. From access control solutions at the front door to sensors installed across campus, we know what it takes to keep your school safe.
