Connected security for K-12
Better together. Safer schools. Smarter solutions.
Convergint, Genetec, and Axis help districts create a more connected security ecosystem by bringing network devices, data, and operations together into one optimized experience.
The district challenge.
School security shouldn’t require more systems.
Many districts do not have a technology problem. They have an integration problem; multiple logins, fragmented visibility, slow investigations, and infrastructure that is difficult to maintain.
Modernization doesn’t have to mean starting over. Every district has different needs and existing investments. Schools can retain the technology that continues to serve them well while strategically adding the hardware, software, and capabilities needed to address priority risks and build a more connected, scalable security environment.
When systems share information, gaps between video, access control, communications, alerts, and response workflows become easier to identify and address. Teams gain the right information sooner, coordinate action more effectively, and keep daily operations moving.
One operational view.
Bring video, access control, communications, alarms, analytics, and workflows into one experience.
A path that fits.
Choose cloud, on-premises, or hybrid deployment by site, need and timeline.
Freedom to evolve.
Connect trusted network devices and preserve existing investments as the district modernizes.
Support for the long run.
Design, deploy, train, maintain, and optimize with one accountable integration partner.
Better together.
Three strengths.
One districtwide strategy.
Each partner plays a clear role, from the operating platform and intelligent edge devices to integration, rollout, and long-term care.
The partner that brings it together. Assessment, design, deployment, training, maintenance, and lifecycle support for a districtwide program.
The unified operational platform. Security Center connects video, access control, communications, alarms, analytics, and workflows in one interface.
Network cameras, audio and intercom, access control, analytics, and cybersecure device technology built for education and designed to help solve common school challenges.
Explore the connected campus.
One connected strategy across every layer.
Explore the five layers identified in the PASS Safety and Security Guidelines. See how connected technology can help districts address vulnerabilities and support daily operations through coordinated response from district systems and digital infrastructure to campus grounds, building entrances, and interior spaces.
District operations.
Build one consistent district strategy.
Connect visibility, standards, systems, and response workflows across schools so district teams can manage everyday events and emergencies from a more consistent operating picture.
- District-wide security standards and centralized monitoring.
- Unified alerting, verification, and response workflows.
- Emergency procedures and operator guidance.
- Investigation, evidence sharing, and recovery support.
Digital infrastructure.
Protect the systems behind school security.
Bring physical security and IT practices together to help protect devices, identities, data, and operations while supporting reliable access, system health, and long-term technology management.
- Secure device identity and trusted communications.
- Role-based access, authentication, and audit trails.
- System health, updates, and lifecycle management.
- Resilient cloud, on-premises, or hybrid deployment.
Campus perimeter.
Extend awareness across the grounds.
Connect outdoor video, analytics, communications, and detection across parking areas, playfields, walkways, bus zones, and reunification points to support visibility and response beyond the building.
- Perimeter and intrusion analytics.
- Vehicle and license-plate context.
- Outdoor emergency communications.
- Parking, playfield, walkway, and reunification visibility.
Building perimeter.
Manage every point of entry.
Bring visitor management, access control, video, intercom, door monitoring, and lockdown workflows together so staff can assess and manage activity at entrances and other exterior openings with greater context.
- Visitor screening and identity integrations.
- Video intercom verification at primary entrances.
- Exterior door status and access control.
- Coordinated lockdown and emergency messaging.
Classroom and interior.
Support safer spaces for learning.
Connect interior visibility, access, duress, detection, and communications so teams can respond with greater context while respecting privacy requirements, district policies, and local regulations.
- Hallway, stairwell, and common-area visibility.
- Classroom and interior door status.
- Panic, duress, and environmental sensor integration.
- Emergency and instructional communications.
