Security systems for schools & nurseries
Safe gates, known visitors and clear announcements.
Schools need to control who comes through the gate at drop-off and pick-up, protect children without putting cameras where they shouldn't be, and reach everyone with announcements. We plan with the school's safeguarding lead, not around them.
A typical system
What we'd usually install
- Video intercom and access control at the main gate and reception
- Cameras on gates, car park, corridors and playgrounds
- No cameras in toilets, changing or medical rooms
- PA with scheduled bells and zoned announcements
- Biometric attendance for staff
- A barrier at the staff car park

SIRA
SIRA and your premises
Schools are among the establishment types in SIRA's manual. Camera placement is also shaped by child safeguarding — we plan it with your safeguarding lead.
