School Safety and Security

“The new Avigilon system has made our jobs a whole lot easier,” said Kevin Kirkman, Principal at Riverside Middle School. “When an incident occurs, school administrators no longer have to talk to multiple individuals to try and figure out what happened. The investigation is simple; we can see what happened, clear as day. It’s made it easier to uphold school rules and maintain a safe environment for students and staff.”

"Not only is CBS now a safer place for the community, but it’s also been able to improve its internal processes, allowing it to tackle difficult challenges in an effective manner."

“We chose Avigilon because of the capabilities it offers in its advanced video analytics search technologies, including Avigilon Appearance Search,” said Paul Hildreth, Emergency Operations, Safety and Security for Fulton. “Their analytics are easy to set up and use, and can save us valuable time and effort, ultimately making our schools a safer place for generations to come.”

"Our Avigilon security solution has allowed us to achieve the goals we set out — to increase security on our campuses while improving the process efficiency of our security operations,” said Sami Alijärvi, Security Designer at Tredu. “The system not only allows us to respond to events within seconds but provides insights that help us proactively address potential problems before they even occur."

“The University of Tennessee is committed to keeping its campus as safe as possible and the Avigilon solution is an important part of our day-to-day security procedures and our emergency management plan.” — Brian Browning, Director of Administrative and Support Services, University of Tennessee

WCS is satisfied knowing that their campuses are now fully monitored, helping staff and students feel much safer at school. Moreover, Avigilon access control solutions allow administrative and security personnel to limit access to classrooms and hallways as soon as a potentially critical event is detected — but staff can still enter and exit spaces easily with the touch of their badge.

“Our new Avigilon system is intuitive and easy to use. Whether it’s one of our own employees who needs to take action or law enforcement, we have peace of mind knowing that they can do so quickly without struggling to navigate the technology.”
— Alan Walters, Executive Director for Safety and Risk Management, Georgetown County School District

“We have seen a significant amount of savings — in terms of both finances and time — since switching to Avigilon. The Focus of Attention interface in ACC™ 7 software makes it really easy to monitor our video feeds so we can identify potentially critical events with fewer eyes on our video screens, freeing up our police and administrators to take action. And since the technology is easy to use, it doesn’t require extensive training for users, which has been another big time-saver for us.”
— Tyler Knight, Director of Technology, FTCSC

“I have never worked with a security company where I've been able to pick up the phone and have someone to help solve issues and make sure we are using the product the right way so that we see good value for our money. This was true not just in the beginning, their support exists right to this day.”
— Ray Stanley, CIO/Vice President, Marian University

"Our Avigilon solution is leaps and bounds faster than our previous system. It’s user-friendly and intuitive, and we can quickly train our staff to use it which helps us ensure we have supervision around our residences, daycare and other sensitive areas." Jennifer Pizzoferatto Director of Finance and Operations
