Alarm Systems for Public Schools in Miami Florida
It is becoming apparent that violence in schools is a subject that has to be dealt with a sense of urgency. With all of the attention going to gun control, school facilities themselves are vulnerable to further incidents.
It is a known fact that alarm systems can act as a deterrent, and in this age of random violence, it is imperative to have a first line of defense in place.
It will take a while for legislation to be put in place to end this phenomenon once and for all, but each individual school has the opportunity to remove the vulnerability factor from their premises by installing an ADT alarm system today.
Who We Are
ADT has been around since the 1800’s and has always been in sync with the needs of the masses. Growing from telegram service, to fire alarms, to personal safety measures with twenty-four seven high tech monitoring centers, this organization is the ‘”go to” company for Government buildings such as the Pentagon.
They know their business and that is why we at Home Security Concepts have chosen to be an authorized ADT dealer.
All the Moving Parts
Alarm systems of yore were systems that operated on a circuit. Doors and windows were alarmed and motion detectors were placed around the premises. If any of these entrances into the building were opened or movement was detected, the alarm would signal and the proper authorities were notified.
Today, there are many more moving parts in our alarm system offerings. There are high tech video cameras, and keyless locks, access control systems and with a proper assessment, we can determine how best to protect your public school premises.
Differing Scenarios
The first point of entry is the parking lot in most suburban public schools. Placing video cameras right at the first point of entry, be it the parking lot or main entrance, records all of the activity of every entrant all day long. This data can be logged onto servers and kept in perpetuity or reviewed at that days end. It also serves as the first notification that something might be brewing and action can be taken at this point in time rather than reacting to an unexpected event. Being forewarned is a much better place to be in and can mean the world of difference when dealing with a potentially violent situation.
An intercom with audio and video access to the main office can prevent unwanted entry onto the school premises. Preventing access to intruders is exactly what is needed now. There is no reason that school premises should be accessible to just anyone during the school day. Protecting students and staff should be the number one priority.
Access control cards given to certain members of the staff can prevent unlimited access into storage rooms, basements, labs and even classrooms, thereby protecting the occupants and valuable materials.
Advanced Options
Technology has made the world smaller, and this is evidenced by the appearance of ADT Pulse interactive services. Remote access to your school premises gives you twenty-four seven monitoring to school facilities, remote operation of lights, temperature and the alarm system itself. All this is possible with a click of a mouse. With ADT apps, all of the above can be accomplished with your smart phone as well.
All Eyes on Deck
With guaranteed twenty-four seven ADT monitoring and your own staff viewing real time action with high definition video cameras, it becomes less likely for an intruder to bring harm upon your school. With a state of the art alarm system, the level of vulnerability is reduced dramatically. You are essentially providing peace of mind and the security of knowing the proper authorities are just seconds away.
School Bullying
Now we must attend to the inner sanctum of the school environment. Kids will be kids and there will always be teasing among them. But it is when these incidents get out of control that one needs to have a system in place to deal with a situation before it gets to the point of physical harm. There is no reason to place a hall monitor in jeopardy of injury. With just a push of a button on the alarm’s keychain remote control, help can be on the way from other school personnel and if need be, the proper authorities.
Unforeseen Circumstances
In addition to monitoring for perpetrators, our system can monitor for fire, flood and carbon monoxide. In the event of hurricanes, an all out email notification can be sent to parents, students and teachers in seconds. Communication like this is imperative today.
Complete Control
Alarming public school premises is the smart way to handle unwanted activity. With the technology that is available today, there is no reason that this level of protection should not be available to the vulnerable young and their teaching staff. With a state of the art ADT alarm system, access to your school can be completely controlled and monitored, giving way to a completely protected school environment with no more thefts without evidence, no more anonymous bullying, and certainly no more unauthorized visitors wandering the school halls.
