ANPR CCTV for Schools

ANPR Camera Systems for schools are a fantastic way to provide secure access to your school car park and premises.

These camera systems are set up to capture an image of a car registration as it nears your school. If the registration number is in the system,  access will be authorised. If it isn’t the driver will have to wait at the entrance to your school gates and call through, usually via an intercom system.

Where security is a key concern, particularly in managing the flow of traffic around your school we would highly recommend looking at an ANPR system.

For a school, an ANPR camera system can be used in the following ways.

  • Allowing access to registered vehicles owned by parents and staff
  • Providing ad-hoc access to the premises for deliveries and those coming in for meetings
  • Spotting vehicles that violate speeding rules or drive in an anti-social manner and taken appropriate action
  • Permanently remove access to vehicles that flout site rules or where the owners behave inappropriately on site

Testimonials

I needed to upgrade the CCTV system at my premises after a series of attempted break-ins. My site is a rural location with a lot of outbuildings.
After being caught short In the installation of my original system with regards to the standard of install and the cost I carried out a bit of research into what system would be best for my site so I had some kind of idea before contacting professionals for quotes. The end product was far superior to what my original idea of what I wanted was and their installation was low-key and unobtrusive.

I chose Safeguard in Swindon recently to retrofit a Victorian cottage with CCTV - no small job owing to the construction of the building. I was very impressed with the skill with which the techs installed the necessary cable runs, once finished their work was almost invisible! The quite advanced pro-grade camera system has required a certain amount of follow up support to train me how to use it properly and I have found them to be patient and very helpful...as was necessary.

Chris and the team are fantastic, we had them in at work to upgrade the office security, install CCTV and alarms at a new facility and now they have done my home. The job was done quickly and to an extremely high standard. Would recommend to any and all, and I have.

We used Safeguard Systems to have a video entry system added to our GP Surgery entrances. They were so helpful from our initial site survey right through to installation and handover. A pleasure to deal with and would highly recommend.

Steve and the team are a partner we require services from on a regular basis, they are both cost-effective and efficient to deal with and I would highly recommend them to anyone who requires assistance or support with CCTV or access control requirements.

I couldn't be happier with the team at Safeguard Systems. I've worked with them 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

Lakewood Ltd

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 - Steve provided expert advice which was supported by a detailed quote delivered ahead of time. The installation and follow up service has been first class, with a special mention to Jordan.

Stuart Anstie

Kintbury Recreation Ground

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 because i can access the cameras on my phone from anywhere which is a big help, and I've had no reliability issues either. Steve and Chris were very nice and professional. Will be using them again to extend the compound shortly.

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 our our school security 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.
