Access control for schools and institutes
Whether it’s for one door or an entire campus, we create systems that suit your needs. We commonly install Paxton systems, renowned for their reliability in educational environments. You can manage access remotely: grant or revoke entry instantly, track movements, and receive alerts from your phone. Our bespoke access control systems for schools provide the flexibility and control needed to restrict entry and ensure safety.
Integrated security solutions for the entire campus
A truly secure campus requires an integrated security system that ties together various components for complete protection.
- CCTV integration: View footage from all cameras in real-time from your phone or a central monitoring station.
- Doorway, alarm and access control synergy: Systems that work together to create a cohesive security environment.
- Smart system features: Automate certain security processes to improve efficiency and response times.
Advanced CCTV systems in schools and universities
Deterrence and evidence gathering are key to a school’s security plan. Our advanced CCTV systems in schools and universities provide high-definition coverage of critical areas such as entrances, corridors, playgrounds, and car parks. Ensure clear footage, even in low light conditions, with cameras that offer up to 8MP resolution.
We install IP cameras from leading brands, offering clear imagery and a subscription-free mobile app for authorised personnel to view live or recorded footage from anywhere. This supports both security incidents and general oversight.

Intercom systems for schools: For clear communication
Whether it’s for communicating with visitors at the front entrance or managing multiple buildings across a large campus, we offer intercom systems that meet all your needs. Choose between audio-only or video systems to identify and communicate with visitors. We install and repair systems from trusted brands such as Videx and Commtel. You can also schedule automatic door unlocking during certain hours, or use the intercom to grant access remotely.

We provide structured cabling installations that ensure your school’s network is efficient and flexible, supporting both security systems and other essential infrastructure.
