School, college and university security systems

Yes, and not necessarily all at once. We can plan a phased move from analogue to IP that fits your budget and keeps equipment that still works. IP gives clearer images and lets you view cameras remotely on a desktop or phone.

Yes. Doors on an access control system can be locked or released at once from the system, which supports the lockdown procedures in your security plan. It also logs every entry.

Yes. Access control, door entry and CCTV can be integrated, so reception can see who is at the door and let them in from the same system.

Usually entrances and exits, reception, car parks, playgrounds and the perimeter. Cameras shouldn't look into private spaces such as toilets or changing rooms. We recommend positions at the survey.

Yes. Footage is personal data, so schools should have a policy covering why CCTV is used, who can view recordings and how long they are kept, in line with ICO guidance.

Yes. IP systems can be viewed remotely, so the site team or head can check on the school when it's closed.

Yes. A central control room can manage every campus while each site keeps full local management and screens showing its own cameras. Recording stays local to each site, so a network problem between campuses does not stop it.

Yes. Estate work is normally phased, with the disruptive parts done out of hours or in the holidays, agreed as a programme before we start.

Yes. We walk the school with you to find the weak points before we recommend anything.
