Campus Security

Over the last decade security has become a necessity not only for large university and community college campuses but also for elementary, middle and high schools as well. The active, open environment of educational facilities makes them targets for violence, vandalism, theft and even active shooter incidents. Campuses have had to look totechnology to help them protect students, staff and resources.

Integrated security systems have proven to be extremely effective for campus security.  In addition to video camera installations, schools are also incorporating access control doors and gates, intrusion detection and mass notification systems into campus-wide facilities.  Digital cameras with audio features remain the heart of most educational security systems because they can provide the following:

• Deter crime including burglary, violence, theft and vandalism
• Monitor parking lots for crime and violence
• Quickly notify authorities of unauthorized entry after hours
• Allow administrators or resource officers to monitor a campus in real time
• Provide forensic evidence for law enforcement after a crime
• Resolve false liability claims
• Resolve student disputes
