Tailored Solutions For Your Security Priorities
School Access Control, CCTV and Alarm Systems
The safety and security of students, staff, visitors and school premises are of paramount importance. Access to school grounds inside and outside of school hours needs to be managed closely through a comprehensive and reliable school security system that has been tailored to the unique needs of educational facilities and the site itself. From advanced access control systems and door entry systems to manage access permissions to modern intruder alarm systems and CCTV cameras, a complete school security system provides peace of mind for parents, teachers and children alike.
Through experience, expertise and working with manufacturers at the cutting-edge of security technology, Mercury Fire and Security keeps countless schools and other education facilities safe and secure. We understand all schools have their own individual security requirements, whether primary school, secondary school, college or university, so all our security systems are installed bespoke and informed by an initial free site survey.
School Access Control Systems
An access control system is simply a must for any school. Due to obvious safeguarding considerations, it is essential that only authorised people are granted access to the school. Many schools choose to install gate and door access control at all possible points of entry, ensuring unauthorised access is not given to anybody. Intruders may be looking to gain access to the school buildings for various potential issues so having a robust access control solution is vital. School staff will be able to remotely grant access, often via a door intercom system, or deny access where appropriate. These access control and door entry systems are also an effective registration tool, so you are always aware of exactly who is in the building, making visitor management more streamlined. Access cards are also really useful here.
CCTV for Schools
A great way to enhance security in a school environment 24/7 is to introduce security cameras, both inside and out. School CCTV systems are important in both preventing security breaches but also responding to any security issues they do arise. Visible CCTV is proven to deter theft and intrusion, especially in areas of the school that have little natural surveillance, such as alleyways and behind buildings. CCTV cameras protect both school property and the human beings inside from any exterior threat but can also be useful for identifying any bad behaviour on the school premises through clear facial recognition. All in all, security cameras in schools are one of the most effective school security solutions and can even be managed remotely through CCTV monitoring services.
Alarm Systems for Schools
A school alarm system is a vital line of defence against potential criminal activities outside of school hours. At night, on weekends and during school holidays, intruder alarm systems can highlight any threat to the premises and remote monitoring services can ensure that threat is dealt with. Alarms can be placed around all school facilities, and managed through one central platform or even via mobile phones as a user friendly solution. Generally, motion detectors and sensors on doors and windows are the security devices chosen to link into the alarm, but advanced features like panic alarms, perimeter security measures and smart sensors can be introduced into a school security system. As with all school security features, the goal of the alarm is to protect students, teachers and property, while deterring crime, monitoring anti-social behaviour and improving emergency service response.
