Futureproof Security Tools Brentwood Schools Are Adopting Due To Recent Events

Each day 12 children die from gun violence in America. After a spike in crime, the Brentwood community is seeing more investment in private security. But, what can schools do to help students feel safe?

Your school facility needs to have the best security tools and emergency response procedures to ensure your students can learn with the assurance that their school is secure. This guide will give you the top futureproof security tools for Brentwood schools.

Futureproof Security Tools To Keep Schools Safe

Suppose you’re looking for the best ways to keep your school facility secure from intruders and implement more effective emergency procedures; keep reading. Here, we will discuss some of the best tools and technologies to help secure your building and restore a feeling of safety for your students.

Wireless Smart Door Locks

The pandemic took a toll on students’ education, and students should not feel unsafe when returning to school. Wireless smart door locks are the best security solutions to implement throughout your building. In a crisis, you can initiate lockdown procedures and lock all doors in your building. An intruder would be restricted from moving freely throughout the building, and you would be able to escort students to safety.

Wireless smart door locks have access readers that automatically detect a mobile credential. So, you will be able to unlock the door quickly and without hassle, which might slow you down and put you in danger. Install wireless smart door locks on every classroom door in your building to secure the space in an emergency.

Integrated Access Control, Video Security, And Building Management Systems

Here, we will discuss the best way to use touchless access control as the foundation for an integrated security system.

Access Control

Utilizing a building entry system is one of the most convenient security tools for schools. Staff members will possess digital access cards stored on their mobile devices. When a staff member wishes to unlock a door, all they must do is wave their hand in front of the access control reader.

There will be many door locks and access-controlled building entrances throughout the school. Teachers and staff members must move throughout the building a lot during their daily operations, so unlocking doors should be as swift and convenient as possible. By installing touchless access control, you can ensure traffic moves freely throughout the school, eliminating the risk of delays.

Touchless access control is a cloud-based feature with open API integrations. Because the technology is cloud-based, teachers and staff members can use a mobile application or cloud-based control center to lock and unlock doors throughout the school. With the open API integrations enabled by touchless access control, your school’s security staff can establish a fully integrated system with all security information accessible on one platform – allowing for faster response to security threats and more security visibility.

With any cloud-based platform, it is essential to reconsider your cybersecurity strategy in line with physical security.

Video Security

Your building needs video security to help deter criminals from the property and provide evidence should a crime occur at the school. You should liaise with a security camera professional who will have expert knowledge of video surveillance systems. The expert will be able to help you establish a surveillance system with no blind spots and maximized visibility.

You should consider integrating video security and access control in your building so that both data sets will be easily visible on one interface. Suppose you suspect an intruder has used stolen access credentials to enter the school. In that case, you can easily use integrated video and access control to verify the user’s identity.

Building Management Systems

With smart door locks installed throughout your building, you can integrate your building management system to create automated triggers. For instance, to save electricity and heating costs, you might establish a system that switches off the electricity in a room when it is unoccupied and turns on the electricity when it is occupied.

Visitor Management System

You must keep track of all visitors entering the building for safeguarding purposes. However, using a sign-in sheet can lead to inaccuracy. To improve the accuracy of your visitor management process, you might consider investing in visitor management software. Visitor management software performs the following functions:

  • Logging in your visitors via digital registration forms.
  • Grant your visitors temporary access credentials to move freely throughout the building.
  • Automatically logging visitors out when they leave the building.
  • Revoking visitors’ temporary access credentials when they leave.

Mobile-Enabled Emergency Response

In an emergency, you must know that your security staff and system administrators can act quickly. With a cloud-based system, you gain the following features that will help facilitate an immediate response:

  • Gunshot detection sensors – if a gunshot is detected in your building, all staff will be notified via their mobiles, allowing an immediate response.
  • Panic buttons – if your staff are in an emergency and need help, they can press a panic button on their desk or mobile device to send out an alert.
  • Automated lockdowns – with all door locks hosted on a cloud-based system, your staff can quickly initiate lockdown procedures.

Summary

In light of recent events, it’s essential to invest in technologies and security measures to help your students feel safe in their learning environment. In high-stake emergencies, time is of the essence. Consider investing in the right Los Angeles commercial security installers to implement these security technologies and facilitate instant response to security threats and more convenience in daily operations.
