Why School Security is Harder than Ever

Keeping campuses safe is more challenging than ever. Most schools struggle with:
Limited Staff
but Growing Responsibilities
Administrators, safety officers, and IT teams can’t monitor every building, hallway, or entry point at once.
Reactive Systems
that Can’t Prevent Incidents
Most systems provide evidence after something goes wrong; they don't provide tools to deter threats or intervene in real time. 
Poor Visibility
When It Matters Most 
Night time and after-hours footage often isn’t usable, making vandalism, trespassing, and safety events harder to resolve.
Unpredictable
Costs and IT Workload
Licenses, renewals, and maintenance drain budgets, and slow, manual investigations waste valuable time that schools don’t have.
