Schools require a high level of multi-layered security infrastructure in order to keep staff and students secure and protected. In this blog entry, the residential, commercial, and institutional security and access control team here at Mobile Locksmith Charleston will detail the basics of any school security system.
Door Protection
Door protection is an absolute must for school security infrastructure. Doors are considered the first line of defense for your property. Make sure your school doors are properly secure. We recommend installing door hardware for added protection. Some of this door hardware includes door closers, crash bars, and door alarms. Mobile Locksmith Charleston can upgrade your school’s doors to be more secure.
CCTV Surveillance
Install CCTV surveillance systems to keep an eye on your staff and school. This helps ensure security and protection. We recommend installing CCTV cameras in all entrance and exit points of your school, near bathrooms, and in parking lots. CCTV cameras can help after the fact to discourage and analyze bullying incidents or fights, as well as act like a crime deterrent and potentially catch thieves. Our professional CCTV camera installation team can help determine the best areas of your property in which to install a CCTV camera.
Access Control Systems
One common security threat to school is intruders or criminals sneaking in. This is especially risky during high traffic times of day like the beginning and end of the school day when people might be distracted. The best way that you can protect and monitor those at your school is by installing access control systems combined with CCTV surveillance systems. By installing a smart access control system, you can control who can access and control what areas, and when, as well as receive mobile alerts with remote monitoring capabilities.
