Frequently asked questions

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

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.
