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.
Campuses aren't single buildings — and off-the-shelf security wasn't built for them.
Open campuses with gates, side doors, and portables that are hard to monitor and lock down.
Parents, contractors, and volunteers coming and going with no reliable check-in or screening.
Staff need a way to lock down and alert everyone in seconds — not minutes — when it matters most.
Outdated PA, bells, and call boxes that can't reach mobile devices or coordinate a response.
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.
Spot weapons and threats in real time across existing cameras, before an incident unfolds.
Lock every door and gate at once — from a phone, panic button, or automatically on a verified threat.
Alert staff, students, and parents instantly by text, voice, app, and PA — with location-aware messaging.
Screen, badge, and track every guest — with watch-list checks and full audit trails.
Mobile and card credentials, scheduled unlock, and instant revocation across all buildings.
High-resolution cameras with smart search covering grounds, lots, and entrances day and night.
Active-threat protection
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.

"Dan and his team know what they're doing — smart, efficient, friendly, and great communicators. They look for solutions and provide options, all at a fair price. No matter is too big or too small. I highly recommend SmartConnect LA."
Whole campus
A campus is many buildings, gates, and people. Piecemeal security leaves gaps between them. We connect every layer into one system your staff can actually operate under pressure.
In an emergency, detection has to trigger response instantly. We wire the whole chain together so it happens without waiting on a human to react.
Seconds count
Grant programs like NSGP can help fund much of this — we scope projects to fit.
| Layer | What it does |
|---|---|
| Access & lockdown | Controls entry and locks the campus down instantly. |
| AI weapons detection | Flags firearms in real time (Ambient.ai, Xtract One). |
| Video analytics | Proactive alerts on people, vehicles, and anomalies. |
| Mass notification | Reaches everyone at once (Alertus, Everbridge). |
| Visitor management | Screens and logs everyone entering campus. |
Not sure what you need? Our vendor-neutral consulting maps it out — on your side, not a manufacturer's.
It varies with campus size, number of buildings and entries, and the layers you need. After a free campus walkthrough we provide a clear, phased proposal — and we help identify grant funding where it applies.
Yes. We deploy AI weapons-detection platforms (such as Ambient.ai and Xtract One) that flag firearms in real time and can trigger an immediate response.
Yes. Detection can automatically lock doors, alert staff and police, and push a live camera feed to responders — in seconds, not minutes.
We integrate mass-notification platforms like Alertus and Everbridge so staff, students, and first responders are alerted instantly across the whole campus.
Often, yes. Programs like the federal Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) and state safety grants can fund much of a project — we'll help you scope work to fit them.
The greater Los Angeles area — public, private, and faith-based schools and campuses — with a local team and a 60-minute response commitment.
Two of the platforms we integrate — ZeroEyes and Ambient.ai — turn your existing cameras into proactive weapons detection with human-verified response.
