Now,
more than ever, security at our schools has become an issue of critical importance.
As you consider security needs for your school, your overall goal is simply
to provide the safest possible education environment. But you have specific
issues to address in order to achieve that overall goal. Like reducing vandalism
and theft. Controlling access to your buildings during the day. Keeping unwanted
intruders out at night. Detecting and responding to critical situations immediately.
Whatever your particular set of issues, you’ll be better off if you do
your homework.
TSI understands the issues schools face today and
has developed a comprehensive system that will provide your school with complete
coverage on the interior and exterior of the building. The foundation of the
TSI approach to school surveillance is built upon two key elements:
1) Video Surveillance: As we develop your video surveillance
system, we know that both security needs and technology can change rapidly.
TSI will utilize surveillance equipment that works together as a system—a
system that can expand, with products that are backward compatible so you don't
have to replace existing equipment every time you upgrade. Surveillance equipment
that isn’t expandable as you grow ends up being a waste of money. TSI
wants you to look back in five years and know you made the right choice now.
2) Building Access Management: One of the keys to creating
a safe school is controlling who enters the building. In fact, administrators
contend that the majority of security problems and incidents at their schools
are the result of unauthorized people on campus. As you consider access control
devices and systems, be aware that they come in a wide variety of types and
sizes. Finding the right method of access control for your school or district
is a matter of balancing the main factors: physical layout of buildings, entry
and exit points, number of students and traffic flow, and your budget for security
measures. At TSI we will develop a system that you can customize to your present
needs and budget and then modify and expand as your needs change.
TSI recognizes the importance of both of these issues and will create a customized
system accordingly. TSI handles all aspects of the project from initial consultation
to actual installation and training, with an emphasis on the following:
• All vital areas of the school are monitored on a continual basis.
• Vivid color pictures are available from all cameras.
• All recording is digital, and all recordings from all cameras will
be recorded on a 24 hour basis.
• Use of digital video recorders to permanently archive all surveillance
records.
• Allow select personnel keyless intro into the facility at specified
times.
• Program opening and closing of the facility at specified times.
With a comprehensive system from TSI any school can enter
the world of complete and thorough surveillance. Increased security, reduction
of crime, video evidence for resolution of any dispute or legal matter, and
accountability for any and all actions that take place on the school grounds
make the TSI surveillance system a must for any school.
