Security Solutions for Educational Environments
Provide your staff, students and parents with the confidence that your physical security and access control is designed for their safety.
Education facilities such as schools, colleges, nurseries and further education centres have the responsibility to ensure the safety and security of students, staff and visitors, as well as protecting property and equipment from theft and damage. Our integrated security solutions, including lockdown systems, for schools and other educational sites can provide simple cost-effective features that offer benefits beyond just securing doors, and which will enhance your safeguarding measures and practices.
We design, install, service, maintain and repair CCTV, Access Control, Door Entry and lockdown systems across a wide range of educational environments such as schools, colleges, universities and nurseries.
Quick links:
Access control ID cards offer ideal solutions to assist pupils, staff and contractors to flow through sites safely and securely, with personalised details for quick visual identification and anti-passback or tail-gating solutions to prevent students or authorised users from sharing tokens.
An integrated site-wide access control solution provides the ability to quickly enforce a lockdown if required, with biometric data also capable of being utilised. With software based management of the database, options such as cashless vending for on-site catering can also be managed from a single platform.
For larger and multi-site educational facilities, the database of users can be centrally managed with visitor and contractor ID and access control levels and ‘time zones’ being managed. Automation technologies such as facial recognition can be utilised to provide another layer of security as well as contactless operation of door locking.
With access rights often determined by academic timetables, access control systems can also offer automated door opening and closing times (time zones), which is particularly useful for third party site users who often hire sections of school buildings for events such as sports clubs.

We have an audio door entry system but want to be able to see who is at the entrance, how easy would it be to upgrade?
Usually we can upgrade an existing door entry system from audio to video using the existing cable infrastructure in place. Wherever possible, we look to use as many parts of your existing system. This speeds up the installation and reduces the cost to you. Please talk to us about your requirements and let us know which equipment you currently have installed, if you know. We may also be able to identify it from photographs.
