ANPR CCTV for Schools
ANPR Camera Systems for schools are a fantastic way to provide secure access to your school car park and premises.
ANPR camera systems are set up to capture an image of a car registration as it nears your school. If the registration number is in the system, access will be authorised. If it isn’t the driver will have to wait at the entrance to your school gates and call through, usually via an intercom system.
Where security is a key concern, particularly in managing the flow of traffic around your school we would highly recommend looking at an ANPR system.
For a school, an ANPR camera system can be used in the following ways.
Allowing access to registered vehicles owned by parents and staff
Providing ad-hoc access to the premises for deliveries and those coming in for meetings
Spotting vehicles that violate speeding rules or drive in an anti-social manner and taken appropriate action
Permanently remove access to vehicles that flout site rules or where the owners behave inappropriately on site
