School Security – Stop Unwanted Visitor in the premises

The security of any organization is the major concern, whether it be a corporate house, a manufacturing unit or schools and colleges. We have previously discussed about the security concern of the corporate houses and other work places. But through this write-up I will focus light upon the security concern of Schools and colleges. Recent happening across the globe have sent a thrill for the security of school going kids. So the safety of kids is more important for any authority. Thus, in the course of providing security for kids or students, technologically updated security system is a must.

The major components of security for schools and colleges are security cameras for video surveillance, access control of the movements of the visitors, and visitor management system for maintaining the records.

Video Surveillance: - Probably one of the most important aspect of the security of schools and colleges is a video surveillance through security cameras. The reason for this is simple, as to keep an eye at each and every corner of the campus through cameras to know what is happening on the campus ground or any classroom or in corridors. Security cameras prevent vandalism, bullying, criminal activity and sexual predators. With surveillance you will always have a record of near school property or any unwanted movements. Video surveillance will help to protect the facility from potential lawsuits as well as protect students from intruders. This whole thing is impossible if done physically.

Access Control Solution: - Another crucial and important feature that plays an important role in the security of the school premises. It does not require anyone to keep waltzing into the facility as access control lets you monitor who comes and goes. You can also do the setting in the installed access control with pin and password, which can restrict the unwanted access in the premises. It helps to reduce or stop the unauthorized movements in the arena of school. Also, you can manage the groups accordingly restricting the movement in unauthorized zones. Access Control Solution will add a deepness in the security.

Visitor Management System: - Each visitor can be managed through visitor management system, keeping his/her complete records, including the concerned person or student with whom they have to meet. As this software generates the gate pass of the visitor with his/her photograph. Until and unless all these processes are not done, the access cannot be granted to enter the premises. This helps a lot to stop the unwanted movements and entry of intruders.

The safety of school kids is the major concern for any authority or school administration. So keeping these things in mind, one should look after the security of school premises. Though this one time investment can be benefiting many lives, as nothing is precious than LIFE.
