Our Education Security Systems

Clearway access control systems

Campus Access Control

The nature of an education site means legitimate, verified users might require ongoing access to lecture halls, classrooms, dorms, offices, libraries and sports facilities – but with a need to ensure these areas are safeguarded from intrusions. Advanced access controls utilise cutting-edge networks that use biometric scanning, security credentials and facial recognition to ensure only approved personnel and students can enter.

visitor management systems

Visitor Management Systems

Education-centric visitor management utilises technological capabilities to provide additional security and risk prevention around any area as a low-cost way to defend spaces from suspicious or unknown users. These solutions utilise guest registrations, automatic visitor logs, ID checks and digital document scanning to ensure boarders and on-site staff can enter and exit easily while protecting against unverified entry.

Clearway fixed CCTV

School CCTV

Modern CCTV goes beyond the capabilities of conventional surveillance, incorporating behavioural analytics to spot unusual activities like loitering. Always-on threat detection can pre-empt anything that poses a cause for concern or that needs investigation by on-site security teams. Fixed, broad-scope, and temporary CCTV systems are all available depending on the hazards identified by any campus.

false alarm prevention

Intruder Alarms for Schools and Colleges

Intruder alarms equipped with the latest technology can differentiate between inadvertent and false alarms and deliberate attempts to bypass controls, force doors or windows, and circumvent security solutions—from wide-scope perimeter intrusion detection around whole campuses to alarms for buildings and dorms.

Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR)

ANPR has multiple applications in education security. In campus car parks, it can automatically scan the number plate of every vehicle to allow seamless entry for registered personnel, delivery drivers, and students while stopping any unknown vehicle from entering the premises. In public access and paid car parking sites, it can enforce ticketing rules and track entry and exit times to assist in revenue generation.

CCTV Analytics

Crowd Control for Educational Settings

Many campuses and schools host celebrations, awards evenings, sports fixtures and community events, all of which welcome parents, students, personnel, alumni and partners. Crowd control surveillance provides added safety enforcement, identifying queues and overcrowding, monitoring ringfenced areas, and ensuring security teams are always notified when a situation poses a risk.

School CCTV Monitoring

Intelligent and AI-enabled CCTV continually scans for suspicious, unusual, or questionable movement patterns as a first line of defence against targeted attacks, thefts and risks to student and staff safety. We offer a full range of solutions, from hardwired fixed CCTV at main entrances and gates to outdoor surveillance for playing fields and perimeters.

what is AI in security

AI-Enabled Security Solutions

Advancements in AI surveillance have profoundly impacted how security professionals predict risks and respond to emerging situations before they become critical emergencies. Integrating AI functionality into educational security systems boosts response times, threat recognition and safety-first controls.

What Do We Protect Against?

For many education clients we work with, the biggest concern is pupil or student safety, regardless of whether threats relate to dorms, classrooms, social activities, or journeys around the site.

While the ideal education security systems will always be adapted to your location and layout, we’ve outlined some of the many issues that high-quality solutions can protect against.

Student Safeguarding Concerns:

Colleges, universities, and childcare centres often have pupils for whom personal safety and protection are paramount. AI-enabled education security can continually scan faces, number plates and suspicious activities to ensure anyone prohibited from having content with a child cannot get anywhere near the grounds.

Opportunist Entry Attempts:

Larger school sites and those with sporting facilities, science labs and research centres often house assets of considerable value – making intrusions likely, especially during holidays when buildings are assumed to be empty. Always-on surveillance, proactive alarms and warnings can pre-empt and deter thieves and intruders attempting to enter a building anywhere on campus.

Reputational Damage:

An intrusion or theft on a school site can cause understandable concern among students and parents, making it pivotal that educational providers implement the right security measures to protect personal belongings, high-value equipment, vehicles, and sensitive data from unauthorised access or use.

Frequently asked questions

We’re often asked for one standout recommendation. Still, it’s usually a combination of surveillance, emergency planning, data protection, perimeter security, and visitor management that makes one educational centre or campus feel safer, better protected, and more comfortable travelling around than another.

Access controls aren’t just about providing an entry code or swiping a pass—they can incorporate facial recognition, biometric scanning, and advanced behavioural analytics to ensure known and verified students and staff can come and go as they please without any potential that an unrecognised individual or vehicle can enter the site without intervention.
