School & campus security

Protect the whole campus — not just one building.

Students, staff, and visitors move across many buildings, entrances, and open spaces. We secure all of it — AI threat detection, instant lockdown, mass notification, access control, and surveillance — for K-12, private schools, and universities across Los Angeles.

Campus realities

The security challenges schools face every day

Campuses aren't single buildings — and off-the-shelf security wasn't built for them.

Too many entry points

Open campuses with gates, side doors, and portables that are hard to monitor and lock down.

Visitors & volunteers

Parents, contractors, and volunteers coming and going with no reliable check-in or screening.

Active-threat fear

Staff need a way to lock down and alert everyone in seconds — not minutes — when it matters most.

Aging intercoms

Outdated PA, bells, and call boxes that can't reach mobile devices or coordinate a response.

A coordinated campus solution

One connected system across every building

We integrate detection, access, and communication so your whole campus responds as one — managed from a single dashboard, and designed to align with PASS (Partner Alliance for Safer Schools) safety guidelines.

AI weapons detection

Spot weapons and threats in real time across existing cameras, before an incident unfolds.

Campus-wide lockdown

Lock every door and gate at once — from a phone, panic button, or automatically on a verified threat.

Mass notification

Alert staff, students, and parents instantly by text, voice, app, and PA — with location-aware messaging.

Visitor & volunteer management

Screen, badge, and track every guest — with watch-list checks and full audit trails.

Access control for every door

Mobile and card credentials, scheduled unlock, and instant revocation across all buildings.

Perimeter & parking surveillance

High-resolution cameras with smart search covering grounds, lots, and entrances day and night.

The difference that matters

From detection to lockdown — automatically

Cameras that only record give you evidence after the fact. Our systems act in the moment: AI detects the threat, a live agent verifies it, doors lock, and everyone is notified — all in seconds.
