Comprehensive security solutions for primary schools, high schools, TAFEs and private colleges across Western Australia. Privacy-compliant CCTV, visitor management, lockdown systems and perimeter protection designed specifically for educational environments.
Large campuses with multiple entry points require comprehensive perimeter detection, CCTV coverage and controlled access to prevent unauthorised entry during and after school hours.
Balancing security with student privacy requires careful camera placement, restricted access to footage, data retention policies and compliance with Privacy Act and education department guidelines.
Modern threats require instant lockdown capabilities with panic buttons, PA system integration, automatic door locking and real-time communication with emergency services and staff.
Controlling access during pickup/drop-off times, tracking contractors and visitors, integrating video intercoms at reception and maintaining sign-in/sign-out logs for duty of care.
Vandalism, theft and property damage outside school hours requires motion-activated cameras, alarm systems, remote monitoring and rapid response to intrusions.
Staff, students and visitors need different access levels to buildings, admin areas, science labs, IT rooms and storage facilities with audit trails for accountability.

Perth schools must comply with the Privacy Act 1988 and WA Department of Education guidelines. This includes privacy impact assessments, clear signage indicating CCTV is in use, strict access controls to footage, defined retention periods (typically 30-90 days), and privacy masking for areas like toilets and change rooms. We provide full compliance documentation and can assist with privacy impact assessments as part of our installation service.
Costs vary significantly based on campus size, number of buildings and specific requirements. A small primary school might start from $25,000-$50,000 for basic CCTV and access control, while a large high school with comprehensive coverage, lockdown systems and visitor management could range from $150,000-$300,000+. We recommend a free on-site assessment to provide accurate pricing. Many schools access government grants or include security in capital works budgets. We can work with tender processes and provide detailed quotations for budget planning.
Yes. Our systems integrate with school networks, student management systems (like SEQTA or Synergetic), PA systems, fire alarms and building management systems. We work with your IT department to ensure compatibility, proper VLAN segmentation and cybersecurity best practices. Most modern systems use IP-based technology that works over your existing network infrastructure, reducing cabling costs.
When a panic button is activated, the system can automatically lock designated doors, trigger a PA announcement with pre-recorded lockdown instructions, send mobile alerts to all staff, notify emergency services and activate cameras to record the incident. The principal or security staff can see real-time camera feeds and control access points from a central dashboard or mobile app. We work with schools to customise lockdown procedures to match their specific emergency plans and can participate in lockdown drills to ensure staff are familiar with the system.
Yes. We regularly respond to RFQs from WA Department of Education, Catholic Education WA and independent school networks. We understand tender requirements, compliance documentation, progress claims and project management expectations. We're also familiar with preferred supplier panels and can provide case studies and references from other Perth schools.
Installation timelines vary by project size. A typical primary school might take 2-4 weeks, while a large high school could take 6-12 weeks. We schedule disruptive work (cabling, drilling) during school holidays and weekends where possible. For occupied areas, we work after hours or in sections to minimise disruption to teaching. Our project managers coordinate closely with principals and facilities teams to ensure smooth implementation with minimal impact on students and staff.
We offer scheduled maintenance contracts including annual system health checks, firmware updates, camera cleaning, testing of panic buttons and alarms, and priority support. Our 24/7 helpdesk can remotely diagnose most issues, and we maintain stock of common parts for rapid replacement if needed. Most schools opt for an annual maintenance agreement to ensure compliance and system reliability. We also provide refresher training when new staff join.
No. Access to footage is strictly controlled and typically limited to the principal, deputy principals, IT administrator and designated security staff. Requests for footage (e.g., for incidents or investigations) must go through proper channels with appropriate approval. Our systems maintain detailed audit logs showing who accessed footage and when, ensuring accountability. This protects student privacy while allowing legitimate investigative use when needed.
