GSS Video Surveillance Systems for Schools and Universities
Why Should Schools And Universities Install CCTV Systems
Educational institutions are responsible for ensuring the safety and well-being of all their students, teachers, and staff. In this regard, closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems have emerged as an effective tool for safeguarding school premises and enhancing the learning environment. Beyond their traditional role of providing security and surveillance, CCTV systems are increasingly being utilized to monitor student behaviour, curb bullying incidents, enhance learning outcomes, and minimize incidents of theft and vandalism.
A video surveillance system is essential for ensuring the safety and security of schools and universities. The staff can use these systems to monitor the premises constantly, detecting and responding to any suspicious or dangerous activity in real-time.
At Galician Security Solutions, we believe that school and university video surveillance systems must be implemented in a way that respects individual rights and addresses privacy concerns. A good School CCTV system must also be easy to operate and maintain so that staff can access and view footage quickly.
Benefits of Surveillance Systems for Schools and Universities
- Keep an eye on the movement of people on your school grounds and any unwanted visitors.
- The threat of being identified, caught, and reprimanded is a deterrent to crime and anti-social behaviour.
- 360-degree monitoring of the entire school grounds is possible from one central control room.
- School CCTV cameras can also be used to monitor outside of school hours.
- Security costs are reduced as several security guards are no longer required.
- Evidence-worthy footage.
- School CCTV installation throughout the premises can help educators monitor and address student misbehaviour, bullying, and other disruptive activities. This can promote a safer and more conducive learning environment for academic excellence and personal growth.
- Identify instances of theft or vandalism, reducing property damage and financial losses.
Overall, CCTV systems in schools are vital to ensuring safety, security, and quality of education for all stakeholders. These technologies can be used effectively to create a safer, more conducive learning environment that promotes students’ holistic development.
Educational Institution’s CCTV Obligations
Schools are required to follow the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) code of practice, which stipulates that you must have a legitimate reason for installing CCTV systems in schools and that you accept responsibility for processing all footage according to GDPR laws and all other relevant rules, laws, and obligations. You should use clear signage throughout your building to notify everyone that CCTV surveillance is being conducted.
