School security for a safe educational environment

Now more than ever, schools and universities are faced with increasing threats to their students, personnel, buildings, and grounds. Security managers must keep track of a variety of environments: outdoor and indoor areas, playgrounds, sports fields, research laboratories, libraries, canteens, and more. With limited security budgets and a shortage of trained staff, educational institutions strive to provide an open, nurturing environment, without compromising their students’ security and privacy.

A comprehensive solution for the educational sector has to be efficient on three levels: preventing incidents from happening, mitigating damage and communication as they are happening, and during post-incident investigations.

A typical school security system consists of video surveillance equipment, including IP cameras, a video management system, access control, and a performant IT infrastructure. Educational facilities would thus greatly benefit from intelligent surveillance solutions that integrate easily with existing third-party security cameras while providing the same advanced functionality to analyze all the video footage with actionable insight in real-time.

Monitoring campuses to protect students, parents, and staff means balancing proactive measures with an effective response to incidents. Ava helps you identify unwanted events like vandalism, intrusion, loitering, parking violations, or people involved in suspicious acts so that you can focus on what truly matters: delivering positive academic experiences.
