SECURITY SOLUTIONS FOR PRIMARY SCHOOLS IN BARNET
Following a spate of burglaries at a small primary school in Barnet, Third Eye Installation Systems Limited were asked to provide possible solutions to deter intruders breaking into the school building. Over the past few years the school has experienced several break-ins, as well as a few attempted break-ins. Unfortunately by the time the alarm was activated and the relevant key holders and Police responded the crime had already taken place resulting in IT equipment being stolen.
After assessing the perimeter layout and any possible access points, Third Eye Installation Systems proposed to enhance the school’s existing security system by installing CCTV cameras and an external perimeter detection system around the school.
Therefore, in the event that someone climbs over a fence, outside of school hours, and is thereby trespassing on school property, then the external alarm will immediately sound and the Police and nearby key holders will be alerted to attend site – before any attempt at accessing the building is carried out. This alarm is also supported by the Remote Monitoring Station which can view suspected trespassers in and around the school perimeter, thus ensuring any intruders are deterred from actually committing any crime.
Mark Formby, Managing Director, Third Eye Installation Systems Limited, says “The current system now acts as a first line of defense and informs the Monitoring Station and local key holders of any activations within the school property”.
External detection is now becoming a more common request as a preventative strategy, by using specially designed external detection systems complete with discreet CCTV cameras. Once activated, the images created by these alarms can be seen by our Monitoring Station and/or the home owner via their personal PC. In the case of a confirmed intruder then the Monitoring Station can request Police presence.
Mark Formby said that he was more than happy to help out his local school and hoped that these new measures would not only deter any would-be intruders, but hopefully enable the Police to identify the perpetrators more efficiently in the future.
