BUILDING OWNERS & MANAGERS

What happens when a malicious intruder enters your school?  The government has released advice on how to control and manage the threat of this happening - but the responsibility is with you to implement it.  Anchor offers a full consultation service to schools and colleges to assist with creating a workable plan, and guidance on implementation.  We also supply and install advanced warning and locking systems to ensure the threat is contained, and that the students are protected adequately.

This fast-evolving area of school responsibility led the Anchor team to launch a bespoke service for schools at www.lifebell.co.uk. This sister site captures the vital information your school needs to be assured that Lockdown is comprehensive, immediate and ultimately secure.

Even if Lockdown is not on your school’s agenda, Anchor’s approach to Access Control will ensure control and security in your premises for both staff and visitors.  Proximity card or fob access control systems enable you to have greater peace of mind by ensuring that each area is secure against any intruders - intentional ones or not. Help your staff feel protected and secure. Track personnel movements in your premises.  Ensure your students are protected against any threats.

Identify your visitors with assurance with an Audio or Video entry system.  Make sure you know who enters your premises.  Enhance the safety and security of your reception area.  Ensure that any visitors are positively identified before you permit them access.

Visual surveillance is the best form of securing and monitoring your premises.  We offer high-definition network-based CCTV systems for all applications - from keeping a simple video record of your reception area to fully-integrated CCTV dedicated monitoring rooms - Anchor does it all.

School Paging systems enable you to send audible broadcast messages around your premises. By creating zones, you can ensure that your messages are directed to the appropriate persons or areas. In-build scheduling system means that the paging system can also be used for school bell notifications. The system uses secure Internet Protocol based systems to optimise your investment in network.

We create customised and effective presentation systems for educational halls and lecture theatres.  We use specially-designed interfaces that are easy for staff to understand - touchscreen controls that are optimised to minimise the time spent fiddling with controls.  We bring all controls together to one point - so the presenter can change the scene simply by pressing one button - e.g. to lower the blinds, dim the lights, and turn on the audio system.
