School & campus security

Protect the whole campus — not just one building.

Students, staff, and visitors move across many buildings, entrances, and open spaces. We secure all of it — AI threat detection, instant lockdown, mass notification, access control, and surveillance — for K-12, private schools, and universities across Los Angeles.

Campus realities

The security challenges schools face every day

Campuses aren't single buildings — and off-the-shelf security wasn't built for them.

Too many entry points

Open campuses with gates, side doors, and portables that are hard to monitor and lock down.

Visitors & volunteers

Parents, contractors, and volunteers coming and going with no reliable check-in or screening.

Active-threat fear

Staff need a way to lock down and alert everyone in seconds — not minutes — when it matters most.

Aging intercoms

Outdated PA, bells, and call boxes that can't reach mobile devices or coordinate a response.

A coordinated campus solution

One connected system across every building

We integrate detection, access, and communication so your whole campus responds as one — managed from a single dashboard.

AI weapons detection

Spot weapons and threats in real time across existing cameras, before an incident unfolds.

Campus-wide lockdown

Lock every door and gate at once — from a phone, panic button, or automatically on a verified threat.

Mass notification

Alert staff, students, and parents instantly by text, voice, app, and PA — with location-aware messaging.

Visitor & volunteer management

Screen, badge, and track every guest — with watch-list checks and full audit trails.

Access control for every door

Mobile and card credentials, scheduled unlock, and instant revocation across all buildings.

Perimeter & parking surveillance

High-resolution cameras with smart search covering grounds, lots, and entrances day and night.

Detect → verify → lock down → notify, in seconds
The difference that matters

From detection to lockdown — automatically

Cameras that only record give you evidence after the fact. Our systems act in the moment: AI detects the threat, a live agent verifies it, doors lock, and everyone is notified — all in seconds.

"Dan and his team know what they're doing — smart, efficient, friendly, and great communicators. They look for solutions and provide options, all at a fair price. No matter is too big or too small. I highly recommend SmartConnect LA."
