Video Security for Educational Facilities

Areas of Opportunity for Education Video Security Systems

School districts and college campuses must stay organized concerning security. Educational facilities are fast-moving environments where anything can happen. Between student interactions, traffic and guests entering, there is a need for school video surveillance systems. BCD technology is effective for these monitorization tasks:

• Detecting behavioral issues: Young children and adults can have behavioral problems in school. Whether someone is disrupting the peace in hallways or starting a fight, faculty and staff can learn of the incident and mitigate the issue.
• Monitoring bus traffic: Video security for education may involve exterior installations. Capture footage during pickup and drop-off hours to detect automotive collisions. Position equipment in student parking lots for lawful investigations, too.
• Preventing bullying: Visible cameras in classrooms and hallways can make students in grades K-12 feel less inclined to harass others. Surveillance systems are excellent at detecting altercations between students, leaving time for faculty to intervene.
• Stopping trespassers: Placing video security systems for education around a building’s perimeter may deter trespassers or help professionals catch trespassers looking to steal items or damage school grounds.
