Affordable CCTV for Schools

In today’s world, ensuring the safety of students, staff, and school property is more important than ever. CCTV (Closed-Circuit Television) plays a key role in creating a secure and well-managed learning environment.

CCTV isn’t about surveillance—it’s about safety, responsibility, and peace of mind. With the right setup, it becomes a powerful tool in maintaining a secure school environment.

The Department for Education (DfE) recommends that schools consider the use of CCTV as part of a comprehensive approach to safeguarding and security. CCTV can help deter vandalism, monitor access points, and support the investigation of incidents, contributing to a safer environment for pupils and staff.  Ultimately, CCTV should complement other safeguarding measures, reinforcing a school’s commitment to safety and the well-being of its community.

We at interm IT can offer you a very cost-effective system – at up to half the price of other CCTV systems. We can do this as we can use the schools existing network and use existing cable runs to install cameras more cost efficiently. We also use our knowledge of technologies to use one device for multiple uses – for example the biggest cost in CCTV is the controller box – we use the Synology system that also doubles up as your on site backup device – saving hundreds of pounds. We can also help you stay within the law using CCTV correctly.
 

Safety First

CCTV helps protect pupils and staff by monitoring key areas like entrances, hallways, and playgrounds. It can deter bullying, track unauthorised access, and provide quick responses to incidents or emergencies.

Clear Incident Review

When issues arise - CCTV footage offers a clear record, reducing confusion and supporting fair outcomes.

Property Protection

Schools often face vandalism or theft. CCTV deters unwanted behaviour and supports police investigations if needed. Additionally many insurance companies now require CCTV.

Promotes Accountability

Knowing cameras are in place encourages responsible behaviour from students and visitors alike, while supporting staff professionalism and safeguarding practices.

Remote Viewing

We can install an app on one or many phones so that if an alarm does go off – you can take a quick look around the site before setting off at 2am, alerting police or security if required before you arrive.
