Key Security Systems for Schools
Restrict entry to authorized individuals with cloud-based access control. These systems prevent unauthorized access to sensitive areas like staff rooms and administration offices, ensuring that only those with permission can enter.
Strategically placed high-definition CCTV cameras provide comprehensive surveillance throughout the school. School staff can detect suspicious activity in real-time by monitoring hallways, playgrounds, and entry points. At YDA Security Systems NYC, we install Hikvision, Invid, and Provision cameras, offering advanced features like remote access, night vision, and motion detection.
Intercom systems facilitate accessible communication between different areas of the school. Whether a visitor at the front entrance or an emergency in a classroom, an intercom allows staff to communicate effectively.
Equip entrances with magnetic locks, electric strikes, and panic bars to ensure security and quick evacuation in emergencies are needed. These systems work seamlessly with access control, providing secure entry while allowing fast egress when necessary.
Why Combining Security Devices for Schools Is Essential
A layered approach to security creates multiple safeguards, reducing vulnerabilities. For instance, a visitor might be granted access through an intercom, but their movement is monitored via CCTV. Controlled door hardware ensures a swift and safe exit in emergencies.
Real-World Examples
These integrated security systems have benefited many schools across Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens. For example, one school installed cloud-based access control systems paired with high-definition security cameras, allowing administrators to monitor activity remotely and manage access without being on-site.
