School & Education CCTV & Access Control Perth
CCTV, access control and duress systems for Perth schools, ELCs and colleges
Schools, early-learning centres and colleges need security systems that protect students without turning the site into a fortress. We install CCTV, access control, video intercoms and duress systems across Perth education sites - always with student privacy, staff duty-of-care and Department requirements front-of-mind. Every education install is documented for compliance and handed over with a clear operating procedure for admin staff.
Schools & Education Security Challenges We Solve
Entry-point control
Every visitor to a school needs to come through a single controlled entry with a video intercom to reception. Trades and contractors get short-term credentials that expire the day the job ends.
Playground and common-area CCTV
Cameras cover playgrounds, sports courts, drop-off/pick-up zones and building entries. Camera placement deliberately avoids toilets, change rooms and any classroom interior - the coverage is for safeguarding and incident review, not surveillance of learning.
Staff duress and lock-down
Duress buttons at reception and in vulnerable staff spaces, plus a whole-of-site lock-down button that instantly locks every controlled door on activation. Both trigger silent alerts to designated staff phones.
Out-of-hours protection
Monitored alarm and back-to-base monitoring cover the school outside operating hours, with alarm zones designed around canteen, admin, IT/server, and classroom blocks so a breach in one area doesn't blind the rest of the site.

Schools & Education Security FAQ
Do you work with Department of Education compliance requirements?
Yes. Every education install we do is documented against the current Department guidance and the school's own policies, with camera field-of-view maps, credential-management plans and duress-response procedures handed over at commissioning.
Are cameras installed inside classrooms?
No - not as standard. Classroom interiors are excluded from routine CCTV coverage. Cameras cover common areas, entries, playgrounds and drop-off zones. Any exception is discussed and documented with the school before installation.
Can the system integrate with our existing bell / PA system?
In many cases yes - particularly when the site has a modern IP-based PA. We assess integration during the free on-site quote and only include it in the scope if it works reliably.
