When student safety is at stake, it’s crucial to effectively detect unusual activity in schools. Many campuses may already use security cameras to keep watch over the halls, sidewalks, and parking lots, but there are additional technologies available to help identify potential critical incidents.

BearCom has over 40 years of experience in the industry and the know-how to help you choose and install the tools you need to detect unusual activity and help keep students safer. Contact us for a consultation today.

Avigilon HD Camera Systems

Camera systems are some of the most common ways to detect unusual activity in schools. Almost every school campus employs some kind of system to help security personnel keep watch from a secure location. As an Authorized Enterprise Partner, Avigilon is our go-to for high-definition cameras with:

  • Video analytics
  • Network video management
  • Access control

These end-to-end security surveillance solutions can be integrated into a wireless mesh broadband network to reduce installation costs. They also feature precise, clear images, so fewer cameras can get the job done, reducing total cost of ownership.

Mobile Systems by WatchGuard Video

In addition to stationary cameras, mobile video systems can provide an extra touchpoint helping to identify unusual activity and mitigating risk before an incident escalates. As the leading provider of mobile video solutions for law enforcement, WatchGuard Video is a trusted provider of in-car video systems and body cameras.

VISTA® Integrated HD Police Body Cameras

These ultra-rugged body-worn cameras allow security guards to capture HD-video evidence using simple controls. They’re Wi-Fi- and GPS-enabled, too, so you can easily track your security guards’ location.

WatchGuard 4RE® HD In-Car Video System by Motorola Solutions

The widely-deployed 4RE® in-car video system is our most popular in-car surveillance system. It can help public safety vehicles patrol off campus so that suspicious or unusual activity can be detected from a safe distance and the appropriate authorities can be alerted quickly.

Avigilon Appearance Search™

Often, you’ll want to identify suspicious persons before they even enter campus. Avigilon Appearance Search™ can quickly locate a person of interest or suspicious vehicle by incorporating AI with video surveillance footage.

Avigilon Control Center Client software can monitor multiple sites across campus and provide public safety personnel and first responders with specific locations and descriptions of suspects and people of interest.

Vigilant Technologies

Vigilant Technologies offers comprehensive security solutions with advanced facial recognition, commercial data, license plate recognition, and analytics software. BearCom is a Gold Partner Reseller of Vigilant Technologies, including Vigilant CampusWatch™.

This system improves existing security systems, camera systems, and security protocols by sending alerts and notifications to law enforcement in the event of a potential incident. It also includes Vigilant Fixed Camera License Plate Recognition, which helps keep tabs on suspicious vehicles on or around campus.

Instant Communications Systems

If unusual activity is detected, responders need to act fast. They’ll need to communicate quickly with the right people to help prevent a critical incident from occurring. Some solutions that can help improve response time include:

Mutualink

Mutualink connects schools to public safety and police by sharing radio and video communications, as well as information like campus maps and facility blueprints to help improve response time in the event of an emergency.

Two-Way Radios and Hand-Held Devices

Two-way radios and hand-held devices like the APX™ P25 and LEX L11 from Motorola Solutions can help responders relay information about unusual activity to public safety personnel. Two-way radio accessories such as belt clips, microphones, and headsets help make communication more convenient in critical situations.

AlwaysOn Alerts

Public safety and first responders can receive instant updates on a situation and assess the severity with AlwaysOn Alerts. These alerts can be programmed for specific events and can be sent to any two-way radio if a triggering event occurs.
