Providing children with safe and secure learning spaces is a top priority for all educators, but maintaining visibility into ongoing and emerging security issues can be uniquely challenging.
While traditional security technologies like video camera systems can help staff remain alert to potential risks, they require constant observation to be effective. Today, with support from cloud technologies and AI-driven software, autonomous security responses can be engaged.
Avigilon’s AI-powered school video security systems empower on and off-site staff to detect, deter and respond to wide-ranging security issues swiftly and effectively. Robust, discreet IP cameras installed around the site capture and stream high-quality images to a cloud-based, remote-accessible management portal, enabling staff to view and assess events at all times.
Cutting-edge AI tools empower operators to classify objects, people and events of interest automatically, as well as search video recordings by these criteria to find relevant clips in a matter of seconds. AI tools can also be used to independently identify, categorise and warn staff of suspicious events via site-specific alerts that can be sent to any secure smart device.
“Avigilon provides a comprehensive ecosystem of school security technologies.”
Applications of this technology in the education sector are far-reaching, with systems able to keep educators informed of issues like fights, unknown persons on campus, crowds forming in unusual areas and persons carrying contraband items, as well as improve efficiency in the running of critical organisational operations like parking, occupancy and visitor management.
When investing in this area of school technology, it’s important to prioritise products that can be integrated into wider security systems. Avigilon provides a comprehensive ecosystem of school security technologies that can be combined to enable autonomous threat responses, with data captured by one system used to trigger unique, informed, campus-wide responses.
With support from Avigilon’s smart video security systems, staff can help ensure significant threats like intrusions and active assailant events are addressed swiftly and responsibly, as well as maintain detailed records of safety issues to drive continuous security improvements.
By providing educators with an effective and reliable way to maintain awareness of school safety issues, school communities can stay focused on achieving excellence in learning outcomes.
