A newly released guide from IDIS explores the role of video security in reducing risks in the education sector and creating safer, more welcoming learning environments.

Multi-layered protection

The guide examines issues of cost and affordability and explores strategies for building multi-layered protection from perimeters and sports grounds to classrooms, to better protect staff and students through earlier detection of risks and faster interventions.

IDIS highlights key factors that will contribute to the successful deployment of surveillance solutions

When it comes to school safety, there’s no question that video systems have an important part to play - if they are designed, deployed, and operated effectively. IDIS highlights key factors that will contribute to the successful deployment and use of surveillance solutions. Used well, video can act as a force multiplier and increase operational efficiency by making other measures more effective.
