School, College, University Security Systems

Over the years and mainly through "word of mouth" recommendations, Schools, Colleges, Nurseries and other Educational Facilities have become one of the main areas where UK Watch Technologies designs and installs systems.

We are aware of the most current Safeguarding criteria and work closely with LEA Safeguarding teams to ensure that all necessary protection methods are correctly planned and implemented.

We are experienced in discussing these systems with Governors, teaching staff and especially parents, many of whom will have an incorrect or skewed understanding of what these types of systems are designed to prevent and what they are specifically designed to detect and protect. We understand that many from outside the immediate teaching / administrational staff, and indeed some within, may see these types of systems, especially the CCTV element, as being intrusive or an invasion of privacy. Our extensive knowledge of the sector along with the ability to involve third parties from other schools that were in a similar position in order for them to relay their experiences has proven to reduce many of these fears.

We can provide the entire scope of protection systems including but not limited to Intruder Alarms, CCTV, Access Control, Fire Alarms, Class Change systems, Tannoy (PA Speaker) systems, Intercom systems, automated gates, automated barriers, turnstiles, Lock Down systems, "walk through" metal detectors, Covid cameras (analyses groups of individuals and pinpoints anyone with an elevated temperature) and much more.

We have been working in the Educational sector since 1998 and have carried out every type of installation in every type of establishment ranging from a simple Intruder Alarm in a Day Nursery to a broadcast quality CCTV system, with audio, covering Astroturf pitches attached to a Secondary School allowing sports and social events to be transmitted to other pupils and staff within the school. The system then doubles up "out of hours" as an AI driven motion detection system allowing a Remote Monitoring Station to be informed immediately of any persons entering the Astroturf when the site is closed. The Remote Monitoring Station can view the images remotely and issue live audio warnings to the intruders with the final step being to inform Police of the intrusion if necessary.

We have a proven track record in the implementation of security systems within educational establishments and have shown a tangible reduction in some of the challenges faced by schools such as bullying, fights, break-ins, theft, assaults, classroom disorder, violent crime, drug use, use of weapons and sexual abuse.

All of our staff are Enhanced DBS checked, Appendix C West Midlands Police checked, SSAIB (Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board, a UKAS accreditation body ensuring that standards are met and maintained) registered and ECS (Electrotechnical Certification Scheme) registered. Our staff have experience in every type of establishment including extensive works in Special Needs environments.
