Security Systems for
K-12 & Higher Education
Making schools safer is both achievable and urgently needed.
A good security program for schools and universities is critical to keeping students safe. From everyday incidents like vandalism to more extreme threats like active shooters, school security systems need to adapt to manage multiple functions.
At Absco Solutions, we understand the importance of a cost-efficient security system that will improve your security outcomes, reduce your time to manage, and lower your cost of ownership. Whether it’s a single building or a large school district, our team will design a custom system that meets your unique needs and budget while providing a scalable solution for the future.
Security Solutions for Schools and Universities
Video Surveillance
High-definition cameras strategically placed around campuses can monitor entrances, exits, hallways, classrooms, and outdoor spaces, providing real-time visual data of activities across the premises.
These advanced systems, often equipped with AI technology, can send immediate alerts to security personnel in case of any suspicious activity, enabling swift response. Video recordings also serve as valuable evidence in investigations.
Access Control
Access control systems regulate who can enter and exit the premises or specific areas within it, adding an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access. Access can be controlled via fobs, key cards, or even mobile apps, allowing only authorized individuals—students, staff, or faculty—to enter.
In emergency situations, access control systems can also facilitate lockdown procedures, effectively sealing off sections of the campus or the entire facility to keep occupants safe.
Concealed Weapons & Shooter Detection
Concealed weapons detection systems use advanced imaging or magnetic field detection technologies to identify hidden firearms, knives, or other potentially dangerous objects, even in crowded environments. This proactive approach can prevent violent incidents before they occur.
Shooter detection systems utilize acoustic and infrared sensors to identify the unique signatures of gunfire, immediately alerting security personnel and law enforcement with real-time data on the location and number of shots fired.
Intrusion Detection
An intrusion detection system can detect unauthorized access attempts or suspicious activity on the campus, such as forced entry into a locked room or movement in restricted areas during off-hours.
The system then sends an instant alert to security personnel or management, allowing them to respond promptly. Many IDS are now integrated with AI technology to accurately distinguish between normal activities and potential threats, thereby reducing false alarms.

“A team of professionals from Absco came up with an idea of what Absco could do for Yakima Valley Community College. I gave them a campus map and then they developed the camera pixel size, the location, and how many cameras. They even designed a way to send the camera signal a thousand feet wireless to a receiver. Absco had 30 days to install power, network cabling, servers, and cameras. They accomplished the project and the day after we turned it on we caught vandals breaking into cars and the cameras are so good we even got vehicle make, model, color of vehicle, and the license number.”
