I've partnerred with Safeguard on several projects before and I wouldn't go anywhere else for a quality security system installation. Our client, a high-end hair salon required a full studio design and fit-out along with a highly effective CCTV system to help protect and watch over their premises.

Guy Richardson

We are a trustee organisation responsible for a recreational facility and its associated pavilions and buildings. We approached Safeguard Systems to upgrade our security CCTV systems. The customer experience has been first class from start to finish.

Stuart Anstie

Safeguard Systems fitted a complete camera and intruder beam system for my storage compound, started the job very quickly and explained what was possible clearly. Really happy with the system, the remoter viewing capabilities and I've had no reliability issues either.

Harry Timbrell

I got in touch with Safeguard Systems to help secure our warehouse unit with an intruder alarm and CCTV system. They were incredibly helpful and came out to conduct a survey on our premises when others just wanted to provide a quote over the phone.

    Frequently asked questions

    Looking for a little more information before getting in touch? Have a read through these FAQs today.

    What are the different types of school security system?

    The different types of school security systems are CCTV, access control, perimeter surveillance and alarms. Each system serves to address different security aims and objectives.

    CCTV cameras help to protect pupils and staff, and deter break ins and vandalism.

    Door access systems secure schools against unauthorised access and help to manage the flow of staff, pupils and visitors around the site.

    The cost of a school security system varies deepening on the requirements and the equipment that is installed.

    For CCTV and perimeter security systems the cost is a multiple of the volume of cameras deployed, wiring, the system and labour time.

    Door access systems are costed on a per door basis covering door contacts, card readers and installation time.

    When looking for a school security company we recommend asking if their installers and engineers are DBS checked.

    Safety is paramount to a school and a company with DBS-checked engineers is likely to be professional and worth dealing with.

    Also, ask if they are SSAIB approved. SSAIB is a security body that audits companies on their register to ensure they are following strict security protocols.

    Schools have to deal with a range of security risk and threats.

    Some occur frequently, and some less so. The security risks in schools are vandalism, break-ins, theft, bullying, harassment and arson.

    Safeguard Systems has worked with dozens of schools.

    This includes state schools, SEN & SEND schools as well as private and independent schools.

    We design and install CCTV, door access, alarms and perimeter security solutions for schools across the South of England.
