Safeguarding the well-being of all students and staff is a primary concern for schools today. Depending on the school’s particular policy, camera surveillance is important in hallways, parking structures, playground, laboratory, and supply rooms, as well as in classrooms. A properly installed system of school security cameras is an important tool for ensuring safety on school grounds and school premises. CCTV camera surveillance systems are increasingly being used in schools to maintain safety and security, allowing school and faculty staff to focus on their liabilities and prevent undesirables from getting entrance into the site.
Once a child arrives at school, whether they walk, cycle, travel by bus or are dropped off, parents expect their safety to be a priority. However, as the number of students attending each school continues to increase, the likelihood of incidents, crime and violence sadly also rises. CCTV surveillance systems are excellent deterrents against incidents occurring during school hours, whether that is bullying, unauthorized access, or demolition.
Schools are often targeted by intruders during hour’s periods, such as weekends, nights, holiday periods or other events that result in closures. Cameras mounted near main entrances and in administrative offices can help you record each visitor as they enter and exit the school. Cameras near exits can also help reduce truancy.
Staff safety is equally important, and everyone has the right to feel safe and secure during working hours. CCTV cameras alongside remote access systems, give teachers peace of mind that the only individuals on-site are the people that should be, without concern about intruders and can concentrate on the essentials of their students in the class.
