Back to School Security
For the past two decades, there has been an ever-increasing demand in the education market to protect schools from threats of violence. There have been 59 school shootings since 2018. It is important to take this threat seriously while also responding in a way that is responsible!
Keep children in your early learning facility safe while they learn and play, and ensure the safety of your teachers and staff with a state of the art access control system. Grant access to approved employees and parents and create a smooth school safety solution that gives parents peace of mind. There is no reason for people to be on an early childhood campus, and our state of the art access control systems allow you to grant access at drop off and pick-up times.
Prevent unauthorized intruders, monitor access points for risks and initiate campus lockdowns during an emergency. Intercom systems ease communication with parents who need to come by during the day, as well as deliveries. Elementary and Middle Schools are working to keep kids safe as they learn. Keeping the kids on campus while keeping strangers off is the challenge.
High schoolers are a whole new world. With this age group there are additional challenges of keeping them on task and keeping them learning. Keeping the students focused adds a level of challenge at high school level. Install vape detectors to monitor what’s going on in your hallways and bathrooms to make sure the students are doing what they are supposed to be. These smart monitors can identify vaping or smoking in bathrooms and locker rooms, monitor air quality, and ensure rooms have been cleaned and that air is properly filtered. They are also able to detect fights and loud noises in areas where administration isn’t always around.
Sheltered independent living in the dorm is one of the greatest things about college life. For students it's their first dose of freedom, but for administrators, finding this balance between securing buildings and keeping an open-campus feel is not easy. Let us help - advanced access control technology can give campus security teams more control over their environment. Helping students and staff feel safe as they move about the campus from classrooms to dorms and common areas.
The carefree days of visitors coming and going freely in campus buildings, dorm halls, or the student centers are long gone. Using digital visitor reporting tools incorporated with access control tech allows universities to configure their own interactive COVID-19 screening process. Visitor Tracking on campus: Campuses host parents, volunteers and guests – control access and track who is on site with Visitor Management.
Keeping kids safe as the come and go has never been easier! Install video doorbells or two-way intercom devices and keyless entry technologies to easily see anyone who approaches or enters the home. These also allow you to know when the kids leave and return home from school.
When you use smart locks and unique access codes for your kids, they no longer have to carry, and potentially lose, a key. Not only do you not have to worry about a stranger finding the key, but also you will know they can get in when they get home.
Need another benefit of a smart lock for back-to-school? When your lock is connected to your home network, you can access an activity log on your phone and see who used their code and when, so you’ll have peace of mind knowing your kids made it home from school on time.
Millions of students pass through classrooms, campuses and libraries every day. Educators, administrators and security professionals must first and foremost protect the lives of students, faculty and staff while they learn. Learn about our lockdown capabilities with a consultation with one of our team.

We are happy to design the solution for your school or home to keep your students safe and keep their focus where it should be, on learning.
