How Toepfer Security Protects Schools
Developing a school security system is about more than preventing crime—it's about fostering an environment where students can thrive, and parents can trust that their children are safe. Explore our integrated school security solutions below:
Campus-Wide Exterior Video Surveillance
Monitor your school's outdoor spaces with high-resolution cameras equipped with zoom capabilities. Our systems provide visibility over parking lots, athletic facilities, playgrounds, and other exterior areas, enhancing situational awareness and safety across the campus.
Holistic Interior Video Surveillance
Maintain a secure learning environment with strategically placed cameras in hallways, stairwells, and elevators. Features like corridor mode and dynamic range ensure clear, wide-angle visibility, even in challenging lighting conditions.
Access Control and Visitor Management
Streamline and secure entry points with our visitor management system. Record and monitor all individuals entering the facility, cross-referencing visitors with the National Sex Offender database. Custom instructions can be implemented to address restraining orders or flag concerning individuals.
Intrusion Detection & One-Button Lockdown Capability
Equip your school with powerful alarm technology and empower school leadership with the ability to initiate a lockdown instantly. Superintendents can secure an entire district with a single press from a smartphone, hardwired panic button, computer, or telephone. Principals have similar functionality for their individual schools. Exterior blue strobe lights signal a lockdown in progress, preventing re-entry, while authorized police access ensures rapid tactical response.
Tailored Security Solutions for Your Unique School
No two schools are the same, which is why we tailor our school security systems to your unique needs.
Why Schools Need an Integrated Security System
Whatever your school’s needs, we design solutions to keep your campus secure and your community focused on education.
Rural K-12 Campuses
For a rural K-12 campus, we might focus on perimeter monitoring, securing wide-open grounds, and integrating alarm systems to protect against unauthorized access.
Urban Campuses
For an urban, multi-building school, we focus on access control at key entry points, video surveillance for busy areas, and integrated communication systems for fast-paced situations.
