Security System Installation for Schools & Higher Education
Washington Alarm believes in a multifaceted security solution for educational institutions, combining smart technological features with forward-thinking strategies. A dependable school security system should include:
Emergency Preparedness
True safety is about maintaining open lines of communication and having a plan for everything. Washington Alarm elevates your emergency preparedness through:
- Panic Button Systems — Panic buttons allow staff to discreetly notify authorities of an emergency, such as a fire outbreak or act of violence.
- School Mass Notification Systems — Instantly communicate alerts to students, staff, and faculty through established emergency channels.
- Live Emergency Dispatch — Our school security systems are professionally monitored around the clock for emergency dispatch at a moment’s notice.
School Access Control Systems
School door access control systems regulate who can enter and exit the school’s premises at any time. These systems include:
Secure Entry Points
Electronic locks and key card systems mitigate unauthorized access with adjustable access levels based on time, date, and authority level.
Visitor Management
Our access systems keep a detailed log of entry events, allowing administrators to track building occupancy with ease.
Remote Access Management
Administrators can control and adjust access points from anywhere via mobile phone, tablet, or computer.
Professional Video Surveillance
Modern video surveillance is crucial for deterring criminal activity and keeping a watchful eye over school grounds. Our surveillance systems offer:
- Real-Time Live Monitoring — Live video feeds allow administrators and security personnel to keep watch over all areas of campus.
- High-Resolution School Cameras — HD camera technology captures clear footage for accurate identification and review of incidents.
- Remote Viewing — An intuitive mobile interface enables real-time footage streaming directly to authorized smart devices.
Temperature Control & Monitoring
