IoT, sensors, and connectivity help increase school safety

至少3个,375 threats and 279 violent incidents were recorded in schools during the 2017-2018 school year, according to a study released by Educator’s School Safety Network, 这是一家位于俄亥俄州的非营利组织. This is an increase of 113% from just one year ago.

As a result of these tragic events, 协会, 政客们, students, parents, teachers, and education’s leadership continue to work toward a solution that will help identify individuals at risk, while avoiding further school shootings or other dangerous incidents. In March, the House of Representatives passed the STOP School Violence Act which provides grants to states to fund programs and technologies for violence prevention.

The first STOP School Violence grants were awarded by the Department of Justice in October in the amount of $70 million and can be used to fund improvements to school security infrastructure.

Schools can begin their journey to a safer and more secure campus by identifying the requirements for efficient perimeter monitoring, 响应性, 警报通知.

监控摄像头, 安全镜像, 电子门, 校车传感器, 还有停车传感器, this essential equipment can be implemented to manage and supervise site entrances/exits. But, schools must ensure that these devices are connected.

This is where the Internet of Things (IoT) is critical. IoT brings new and very effective safety and security opportunities to campuses. IoT improves interaction and safety by connecting security devices and communication platforms for real-time notifications and alerts and intelligence-driven data for analysis. 一个聪明的, connected security system creates a safer education environment where communication and coordination with first responders, parents, faculty, 学生就是现实.

当安全事件发生时, it is important to reach the right person at the right time, 在正确的地方. Using several channels of communication (chat, call, SMS, app notification, etc.) real-time notifications are possible. 最重要的是, you will have the ability to provide security instructions that will avert panic and orient students, faculty, staff, and administrators to a safe location. Geolocation technology can then route emergency personnel and first responders to the location of the incident and/or the safe gathering location.

The connected-era is upon us and modern technology provides enormous opportunities for improved communication and notification. 多亏了物联网, schools have the ability to deliver extraordinary levels of security with real-time information and rapid emergency response.
