SCHOOLS AND KINDERGARTENS

Sadly, there is an increasing need for security communication at schools. Providing the means to protect students and staff from possible attacks by violent students and outside perpetrators is now considered standard procedure, as is the protection of personal property both during and after school hours. Schools must be safe, under everyday conditions as well as in an emergency.

APPLICATIONS AND KEY BENEFITS

Protection of students from outside intruders through access control

Only authorized people are granted access. Entrance during school hours is only by checking in through the secretary’s/principal’s office (if this is unattended, door calls are forwarded automatically).
Optional automatic CCTV activation
Potential threats can be detected, and access can be denied at the point of entry.

Added ease of use for people with disabilities

Specially designed door Intercom stations offer persons with visual or hearing impairments reliable communication and access to the school’s premises.

Communicating in everyday situations

Intercom stations can be used for routine communication between classrooms and the secretary’s office.
“All Call” function with return call option, e. g. for addressing specific students and members of staff
Requesting help – e. g., in case of accidents, mobbing, etc.

Help and protection for students and teachers

Classrooms are fitted with vandal-resistant Emergency Call Stations that are always ready and available, thanks to automatic functionality self-monitoring.
Alarm Point SOS Stations and Emergency Call Stations provide enhanced security for outdoor areas.
Clearly understandable communication is critical when it comes to assessing emergency situations.
If necessary, the entire university complex can be evacuated through an announcement at the touch of a button.

Clear announcements to address everyone throughout the school premises

A simple push of a button is all it takes to play a pre-recorded voice message or make a live announcement.
Loudspeakers and Intercom stations can easily be grouped into playback zones to target information messages even more precisely.

Quick response

Multi-functional Commend Control Desks make responding to emergency situations quick and easy.
Fast, immediate alerting of security staff through automated call forwarding.
Direct, targeted relaying of information to external rescue forces, including police or fire services.
At the push of a button, automated playback of warning and reassurance messages helps to deescalate critical situations.
Providing detailed instructions on procedures and situation-specific behavior.
Button-activated conference calls provide instant connections linking multiple classrooms with the principal’s office and rescue services.
Emergency service staff can listen into specific rooms and dialogue with persons inside the alarm/emergency perimeter to deescalate critical situations.

Perfect speech intelligibility – because every word counts

In exceptional, potentially threatening situations, natural communication and clear intelligibility are essential. Information arrives loud and clear without the need to check back, so errors such as false alarms or mishearing the person at the other end can be eliminated.

One unified platform

Multi-functional Commend Control Desks make responding to emergency situations quick and easy.
Enhance student and staff safety with efficient solutions that streamline school operations and provide peace of mind.
Deploy reliable and secure communication platforms to help increase efficiency within security, classroom communications, and announcements.
