A campus does not fail at the front door. It fails at the six side doors that get propped during pickup because the alternative is walking around the building, and at the one place the playground fence stops.
So the plan is consolidation, not addition: a single credentialed entrance with a video intercom, the remaining doors credentialed so staff can use them without leaving them open, and the perimeter closed where it is currently open. Everything is specified to keep egress and fire compliance intact, because a school that cannot evacuate is not secure.
Custody issues and strangers, both handled by one entrance with a person and a camera on it.
A door held open by convenience beats any credential. Consolidation and door-position monitoring answer it.
Where the fence ends is where the plan ends. Usually a short, cheap fix once someone walks it.
Doors always openable from inside. Lockdown secures from the outside only, per fire code, and is documented for your drills.
Reach range on the intercom, clear space, and an accessible route from the pickup lane.
Crews are background-checked for campus work, and footage of minors is governed by a written retention and access policy.
Scoped to the property, not a per-unit rate card. These are the factors that move the number, in the order they usually matter.
Nobody is locking anyone in. Credentialed doors are locked from the outside and free from the inside, which is exactly what code requires. We put the specification in writing for your inspector.
They should ask. We write the retention window, who can view footage and how requests are handled into the scope, so you can answer the question with a policy instead of an opinion.
That is how we schedule campus work. A phased plan with dated milestones, so you are open on the first day.
Six side doors unlocked through every pickup. We consolidated to one credentialed entrance with a video intercom, credentialed the remaining doors with position monitoring, and closed the two open playground edges.
Yes, and we provide documentation before anyone is on site.
Every credentialed entry is logged with a name and time, and the main entrance has video attached to it.
In most cases. Tell us the platform and we will confirm the integration in the estimate.
Name, phone and ZIP. We walk it before we price it.
