School Security System Maintenance

While it is an unfortunate reality, security in schools today has become an extremely vital need due to the number of insecurity related incidents that we continue to witness every now and then. The importance of being safe and in a protected environment cannot be highlighted enough, which is why schools today need to take active action to guarantee the security of their learners, professors, and employees. A single guard patrolling the premise is no longer enough to effectively control access of unwanted visitors to the school’s premises. A school’s security system is the foremost defence mechanism in the event of a security breach or any other potentially dangerous incidents as it can restrict, control and monitor the movement of persons, vehicles, and assets within, without and around the school’s perimeter. There are numerous benefits that can be attributed to having a well maintained and fully operational security system.

Benefits of Security Access Control in Schools

Some of the benefits of having a great access control system include:

  • Advance warning in the event of a breach: security systems today are fitted with alarms systems that go off and give a warning during an intrusion/ security breach. The systems enable to school to respond appropriately to the ongoing event depending on the level of breach. For example, schools can immediately lockdown the premise by pushing a single button and instantaneously making the place secure.
  • Multi-building management. Security systems facilitate the management of the school’s premises from a central location. The entrances, exits, as well as other systems such as lighting and HVAC systems in schools that have multiple buildings, can be managed can easily be managed through a multifaceted security system.
  • Zero-in on security threats becomes much easier. The advancements in the security industry have facilitated the invention of security systems that do more than sound an alarm. Schools can, for example, enforce a lockdown thanks to the dynamic mapping feature on security systems that indicate the location of the school’s locks and doors in the systems making it easy to respond to a threat.
  • Identification: Access control systems are a big part of security systems, and they can be used to identify authorized vs. unauthorized individuals on the school’s premise. It becomes easier to identify both students and staff, thus ensuring that unauthorized individuals are disallowed entry into the premise with certainty.
