CCTV FACILITIES

School CCTV cameras are a popular choice when it comes to looking at a school security solution. Given their ability to replace a human security guard and that they are available 24 hours a day they perform a multitude of functions for your school.

Schools have a responsibility to keep students, teachers and staff are safe, the benefits of using a school CCTV system:

The ability to control and monitor the movement of people around your school grounds, and also monitor any unwanted visitors as they move around the school grounds.
The ability to monitor the entire school grounds from one central control room gives you the ability to see 360 degrees. You can also use CCTV monitoring to provide a monitoring service outside of school hours.
The deterrent of crime and anti-social behaviour with the deterrent that the footage is being watched/recorded and that they will be identified, caught and reprimanded.
A large reduction in security as there is no longer a need to hire several security guards
Collection of evidence that can be used for evidential purposes.

Whilst there are many benefits when it comes to school CCTV systems, there are also drawbacks with the largest being privacy.
