Schools need open, welcoming buildings that can also lock down in seconds. BTI designs, installs and supports integrated video, access control, alarms and emergency notification for K-12 schools, private schools and colleges, and we already support a number of education clients. Your security team, IT team and facilities team all work from one system.
BTI designs, installs and supports integrated campus security systems for K-12 districts, private schools and colleges: IP video with AI analytics, access control with one-click lockdown, panic and intrusion alerting, and visitor check-in, tied to your IT network so security, IT and facilities teams work from one system.
Cover entrances, parking lots, bus loops, hallways, athletic fields and residence halls with IP cameras and analytics. Analytics flag loitering, after-hours motion and vehicles in restricted zones, and you can search hours of footage in minutes. → Commercial security camera systems · Video analytics software
Use badge, mobile credential and scheduled door unlocks so front entrances stay controlled during the school day. Administrators can trigger a one-click lockdown from a phone or desktop. → Access control solutions
Intrusion detection, panic and duress buttons for front offices, and alerts that send live video to responders. → Commercial alarm system installation
Video, doors, alarms, visitor check-in and the IT network managed as one system, so an alarm opens the right camera automatically. → Security system integration · Converged security
Monitoring, firmware updates, camera health checks and maintenance after go-live, so a dead camera doesn’t wait until the next incident. → GlobalView physical security support
The Challenges of School Campuses:
School security and facilities teams are often small and stretched across several buildings. Most campuses also run a mix of systems: different camera brands from different bond projects, keyed doors next to badge readers, and alarm panels nobody has the codes for.

Most campuses need controlled entrances with visitor check-in, IP video at entrances and common areas, lockdown, panic buttons in front offices, and intrusion detection after hours. These work best when integrated.
We don't prepare your annual security report. Our systems give your team searchable video, door logs and alarm records that support accurate incident documentation under 34 CFR 668.46.
Sometimes. Video that is directly related to a student and kept by the school can be an education record. BTI configures role-based access, export logs and retention so you can follow your records policy. Ask your counsel for legal determinations.
Often, yes. We assess existing hardware and integrate or replace it in phases, aligned to your budget and bond cycles.
Yes. We schedule installs for after hours, weekends and breaks to avoid disrupting instruction.
Yes. Real-time analytics detect loitering, after-hours intrusion and vehicles in restricted lanes, then send verified alerts with video to staff, which cuts response time and false alarms.
Adopt a governed AI use policy and use secure, district-controlled AI workspaces instead of public tools. BTI helps set the policy, configure access controls and logging, and keep FERPA-protected records out of public models.
You get itemized monthly pricing, and 100% financing covers hardware, licensing and labor, so projects don't have to wait for a capital budget.
