Providing a safe environment where students are free to learn is a priority for school administrators and a major advantage of having CCTV in a school is its ability to act as an effective visual deterrent.
CCTV cameras can help to keep students and teachers safe from unauthorised visitors who may be entering the campus or grounds in the out of hours. In addition, using CCTV with a facial recognition system can provide an extra level of security by helping to monitor who is coming on-site and identifying those who shouldn’t be there, as well as deterring vandalism of the school property.

In addition to preventing crime and protecting students, CCTV Installation Swindon can also be used as a tool to educate teachers in their classrooms. Educators can use CCTV to document favourable and unfavourable student behaviour which they then share with parents during conferences. These videos can assist in creating an educational plan to help students develop their positive behaviours.
Many schools have issues with out of hours security as they are closed during weekends, nights and term holiday periods which can leave the premises vulnerable to criminal activity, vandalism and other anti-social behaviour. CCTV systems can be a powerful deterrent to those who may be planning a crime on the school property, especially if the system is equipped with one-way communication features that allow the camera to speak to the perpetrator in real time and scare them away.
