Our automated teacher protection system is designed to react to any potentially hostile events, automatically recording real time actions with an IP camera fitted in every classroom and public area. At the same time it sends a silent alert to the nearest networked PC screens so that assistance can be called without delay or provocation. Staff activate the system by simply pressing the call button on their handset without trying to dial a number. The software will automatically alert nearby personnel and the output from the IP camera will be displayed on each connected PC screen while at the same time being recorded onto hard disk for evidential purposes.
