We have been supporting a number of Birmingham schools with their security and safeguarding needs for many years. We are now reaching out to more schools across the city to tell them about the benefits their high-quality solutions can bring.
The summer holidays give school leaders the time to consider options for better protecting their staff and pupils when they return in September. Natalie Hallwood, our telemarketing executive, has been contacting Birmingham schools to explain more about the advanced solutions we can offer.
In recent years cloud-based security has transformed the systems we can offer schools. Cloud-based CCTV, access control and intruder alarms allow users to have flexible and scalable security systems without the cost and maintenance of network video recorders or servers. Instead, you have the benefit of improvements to the video surveillance software automatically.
Additionally, the software can be available on any device on an app allowing easy remote management by schools. It also makes it easier if security is being managed across several school sites.
A Birmingham secondary school that has previously benefited from the innovation Ecl-ips can bring is Holy Trinity Catholic School in Small Heath. The school has a lockdown system developed by Ecl-ips which integrates CCTV cameras with loudspeakers and microphone. As well as ensuring the school is prepared for emergency situations the system can be used for quick announcements to the school.
Meanwhile, schools, such as Little Aston Primary School in Sutton Coldfield have gained from the installation of IP cameras and the expertise Ecl-ips can provide to ensure they have the best camera coverage across their grounds. Little Aston also invested in analytics capabilities for its car park cameras to make it easier for the school to identify suspicious people or vehicles if any incidents occur.
With the growth of vaping among young people, many schools have found that their toilets have become the chosen location for students who want to vape. Ecl-ips offers a vape detection solution, the Halo Smart Sensor, which can integrate with its CCTV software, and this has been successful at reducing vaping in a number of schools in the West Midlands such as Baxter College in Kidderminster and St Joseph’s College in Stoke-on-Trent.
The HALO Smart Sensors can also be managed via a cloud platform. In the latest development of the HALO, its 3C model can be connected with a range of sensors that can detect issues such as temperature or humidity being outside a set range or water leaks, to form the HALO Amplify solution. All of these sensors can be monitored within the HALO cloud dashboard.
We select our partners based on the quality of their products with an emphasis on offering the latest technology on easy-to-use platforms. We also aim to integrate the solutions as much as possible. If your school could benefit from the comprehensive security solutions we provide, please get in touch.
