What Makes a Film 'Projectile Resistant'?

Understanding the Standards Behind Security Film Success

What Makes a Film 'Projectile Resistant'?

When emergencies happen, every second counts. That’s why many McAllen-area schools are adding projectile-resistant film to vulnerable glass surfaces. But with so many testing standards—UL, ASTM, GSA—it’s easy to get lost in the acronyms. What do these labels actually mean? And which ones matter when it comes to protecting students and staff?

Let’s break it down so you know what to look for before deciding.

How to Talk to Your School Board About Protective Window Film

A Practical Guide for Texas School Administrators

How to Talk to Your School Board About Protective Window Film

Every district faces similar challenges. They need to find a way to strengthen campus security and comply with government directives without going over budget or affecting learning schedules. As Brownsville-area schools move toward full safety alignment under the Texas Education Agency (TEA)’s directives, there is one upgrade that all need to consider: project resistant film.

Protective window film reinforces existing glass, making it more resistant to forced entry and reducing hazards during emergencies. It provides measurable security benefits without major construction or the cost of full glass replacement. For administrators preparing to brief their school board on possible security measures, it’s a great starting point. 

School Resource Officers Are Not a Substitute for Security Technology

How Smart Security Systems Protect McAllen Schools More Effectively

School Resource Officers Are Not a Substitute for Security Technology

There’s no denying the importance of school resource officers as an active way to monitor school activity, connect with students and address threats. It’s part of the reason new Texas state directives like HB 3 and SB 838 now require the presence of armed security guards on campuses. But one person alone isn’t enough to cover your school security solutions

That’s why those same directives also require certain technology frameworks. Security must operate as a coordinated network, not a single point of defense. Circle Industries helps schools in McAllen design integrated systems that support personnel, improve awareness, and accelerate response when every second matters.

A Day in the Life of a Hotel Surveillance Camera System

Video Surveillance in South Texas’ Hospitality Industry

A Day in the Life of a Hotel Surveillance Camera System

Before most guests even stir from their rooms, your hotel’s video surveillance system should already be clocked in. At 4:57 AM, a delivery truck rolls into the service entrance. Cameras positioned at the loading dock capture the license plate and movement. The footage is then automatically logged and accessible to your managers through the secure Verkada app. If anything goes wrong (late delivery, missing inventory), there’s a visual record.

In Brownsville, TX, we help hospitality venues bring transparency to every area with the centralized Verkada platform. With a Verkada surveillance system, here’s what the rest of your day may look like.
