CCTV systems have had a mixed success rate at school sites. The need for CCTV will very much depend on the individual school. 

For example those in high crime risk areas may require a comprehensive system that is monitored throughout the day and night, whereas a school in a low risk area may benefit from one or two cameras just within the entrance area. In some cases, the mere presence of a camera can be a sufficient deterrent to reduce or eliminate potential criminal activity. 

CCTV Systems vary considerably in sophistication and effectiveness, and this guide offers some key recommendations to help schools secure and protect their staff, students, buildings and possessions.

Some of the things you will need to consider include;

• The area and activities to be covered
• Onsite vs remote monitoring
• Future-proofing your systems
• Standard or HD cameras - advances in technology such as High Definition Systems can provide a vastly improved picture quality and reduce the number of overall cameras required.
