What Is Security Camera Monitoring?

At Circle Industries, we employ a team of seasoned security professionals trained in monitoring an advanced network of security cameras and sensors. Depending on the school's specific requirements, the setup of systems could incorporate features like CCTV systems, AI monitoring tools, and even weather sensors.

One of the main reasons schools appreciate security camera monitoring is that it has been shown to accelerate emergency response times by promptly informing law enforcement or other emergency personnel about any issues on campus. And, because monitoring personnel are not directly on the premises, they are not physically impacted by the incident. They can maintain a visual throughout the event to relay the current status to those responding.

Alarms and Motion Detectors

While alarms and motion detectors have their place in school security, they also have some minor drawbacks. As you know, these systems are typically triggered by movement within a specified zone. Though they can deter potential intruders and notify authorities, they might not always be practical. But, when paired with security monitoring services, alarms and motion detectors are powerful tools. Security personnel can visually confirm all identified threats and a real-time notification can be sent to administrators regarding the concern.

Onsite Security Personnel

Security resources can provide schools with an intimidating human presence, which can help deter potential threats and handle incidents promptly. However, hiring full-time security staff can be a significant expense for many schools. Depending on the campus size, a single guard or a small team might not be able to effectively monitor the entire school, which could leave some areas unchecked. But, when paired with security monitoring services, onsite security personnel can spend more time working with students instead of patrolling hallways during quiet hours.

Making the Right Choice for Your School

When considering the right security approach for your McAllen, TX, school, assess factors like the size of your campus, its location, and the specific vulnerabilities it might have. Are there particular areas, like computer labs or athletic equipment, that would require special attention? Identifying these areas is the first step in mapping a school security strategy.

Our team at Circle Industries has years of experience helping school leaders pinpoint the best security measures for their buildings. From security camera monitoring to video analytics and mass notification systems, we provide a wide range of tools to ensure the safety of your students and staff. Contact us for a security consultation, and let's work together to create a secure learning environment that fits your budget.
