Network solutions to protect people and property
School security and safety solutions
From the fence line to the classroom
Axis network solutions help your school to deter, detect, and respond to threats and incidents, from the front gates all the way down to individual classrooms or stairwells. Control access to a school and restricted areas within it. Stay alert to speeding drivers, breaking glass, and early signs of smoke and fire. Detect and warn off intruders or loiterers in real time. Or leverage a public address system to easily target live, event-triggered, and scheduled messages right where you need them. An Axis network solution is a complete, cost-effective system to improve safety and security of your school – and you can monitor it from anywhere.

Control access to your facilities
Protect your school community with cost-effective, flexible network access control. Cameras with license plate recognition analytics let you automate parking area access, while network intercoms with built-in credential readers and cameras help you manage access across your property for students, staff, faculty, and pre-authorized visitors. Credentials can be customized for specific areas, hours, and length of validity, so it's easy to ensure the right level of protection for parking areas, buildings, rooms, even server cabinets. Finally, in the event of a lost or compromised credential, you don’t need to re-key – simply cancel the credential.
Respond in real-time, day or night
Axis speakers or audio-equipped cameras with sound-detection analytics can identify aggression, breaking glass, or gunshots 24/7 and alert you to them in real time. The solution can also trigger warning or deterrent messages over network speakers and, if necessary, activate a lockdown using the access control system. When evacuations are needed, network audio and video enable you to monitor progress and provide instructions. After hours, when classrooms are empty, visual cameras paired with loitering analytics alert security to suspicious activity, while alarms and warning messages from strobe sirens and horn speakers help deter potential intruders.
Take a proactive approach to safety
Network solutions also help you take a proactive approach to general safety issues. For example, detect and warn speeding vehicles approaching pedestrian areas, using a combination of radar, AXIS Speed Monitor, a strobe siren, and speakers. Support your certified fire detection system by identifying the earliest warning signs of smoke and fire in the school power plant with a thermal camera, or analytics in a visual camera. And for urgent situations, from chemical spills to severe weather, a network public address system lets you target instructions right where they’re needed.
