Technology Solutions for Schools
The integration of advancing technology is transforming the way schools manage their curriculum and operations, resulting in greater security, tailored learning, and increased productivity for staff and pupils.
Support from a trusted technology consultancy can help schools and other academic institutions truly harness the full potential of key technological developments – from access control systems and CCTV to Wi-Fi and VoIP phone systems for schools.
At 1st Call, we serve as your dedicated technology partner. Our experienced team of technology specialists can support your project from end to end, providing expert guidance and customised recommendations to suit your building and budget.
Phone Systems for Schools
The importance of affordable, feature-rich telephone systems for schools lies in the effective communication between staff in the building and between staff and parents. An up-to-date phone system helps everyone stay informed and provides seamless access to information whenever it’s needed.
The best phone systems for schools depend on your operational needs. We offer solutions with tannoy functionality to address the whole school in an emergency, voicemail-to-email for reporting pupil absence efficiently during the morning rush, and cordless handsets that operate throughout the building and across the playground.
School Access Control Systems
Door entry systems for schools are crucial for protecting students, staff, and assets from unsolicited intruders, making the site safer and more comfortable for everyone. Alongside doors, access control solutions can also be used to manage car park entrance gates or barriers and can be integrated with CCTV and alarm systems for round-the-clock security.
We recommend school access control systems from various manufacturers, including Paxton and Hikvision. For external doors and gates, we suggest video intercom solutions that can operate via an internal monitor or be integrated into your phone system. For internal doors, we offer proximity readers for use with keycards, fobs, fingerprints, and even facial recognition.
CCTV for Schools
CCTV for schools is especially useful for keeping occupants safe from outsiders and addressing issues inside the school community. With a wide range of available features, CCTV can help:
- Deter theft, vandalism & other criminal activity
- Collect evidence of incidents between staff & pupils
- Ensure every student is accounted for
- Monitor & reference disruptive behaviour
- Manage bullying / interpersonal politics between students
- Offer peace of mind to everyone in the building
When it comes to CCTV for schools, Hikvision offers fantastic full-colour, high-quality imagery – even in the dark. Options also include audio recording functionality to deter and capture verbal incidents between pupils or staff. We appreciate that funding may be tight, so we will work with you to deliver the optimal solution for your financial constraints.
Best Wi-Fi for Schools
With fast, reliable broadband for schools, students can access limitless learning resources online wherever they are within the building. Suitable and stable Wi-Fi connectivity is also essential for administrative tasks and communication – especially when working with cloud-based applications and software.
Determining the best Wi-Fi for schools starts with a thorough site survey and a discussion about your needs and budget. We can then supply and install the solution that will get you the maximum coverage and speeds for the entire building. You can also opt for additional features, such as content monitoring to block certain sites from student access.
