Education

Safer schools and campuses.

Every building on campus in one console: doors that follow the school day, a lockdown you can start from a phone, environmental sensors where cameras never go, and patrols that keep watch overnight. Vallaris installs it, and cameras where you need them.

Where it watches
  • Entrances and drop-off
  • Hallways and stairwells
  • Gyms, fields and parking
  • Restrooms, with air sensors only

The challenge

Why a campus is hard to watch.

01

Many doors, few people

A campus has dozens of doors and a handful of staff to watch them. A propped door or someone on the grounds after hours is easy to miss.

02

Seconds count in a lockdown

Locking down means every door at once, from wherever you are standing, and knowing which doors actually locked.

03

Places a camera cannot go

Restrooms and locker rooms still need watching for vaping and smoke, without a picture ever being taken.

A day with Vallaris

A day at a school with Vallaris.

  1. 7:30 AM

    Doors open for arrival

    The front entrance and bus loop doors unlock on the school’s hours. Side doors stay locked, and a holiday keeps them all shut.

  2. 10:12 AM

    Vaping in the east wing restroom

    The air sensor reports vaping. The assistant principal gets an alert with the restroom and the time; no camera is involved.

  3. 3:45 PM

    The building locks itself

    After dismissal the doors lock on schedule. Any door left propped open raises an alarm with the camera that watches it.

  4. 11:42 PM

    Someone at the gym doors

    SentryIQ looks at the picture first and lets it through: one person pulling on a locked door. The operator speaks through the speaker and the person walks away.

  5. 2:10 AM

    Round 3 of 4: all clear

    Circitor checks every entrance, hallway and the parking lot, and keeps a picture from each checkpoint.

  6. 7:00 AM

    The morning report

    The night’s rounds, alarms and what was done, ready for the principal before the first bus arrives.

What Vallaris does

What Vallaris does at a school.

Lockdown in one press

Lock every door from the console or the phone app, see each door’s state on the floor plan, and release them all when it is over.

Vaping and air quality

Axis air sensors report vaping and air quality where cameras never go, and raise an alarm when a reading crosses the line you set.

Doors on the school calendar

Business hours, holidays and events decide which doors open when, written to Axis door controllers.

Overnight patrols

Circitor walks the campus on a schedule and keeps a picture from every checkpoint.

Talk-down after hours

Speak through a camera or a network speaker, or play a recorded warning with a strobe.

Each school sees its own

Give each school’s staff its own buildings and cameras, and keep the district view for the office.

Questions

What schools ask us.

Do we need new cameras?

No. Vallaris works with the Axis, Avigilon and other ONVIF cameras you already have. Where there are gaps, we install Axis cameras.

Do you put cameras in restrooms?

No. Air sensors report vaping and air quality there, and they take no pictures.

Can we start a lockdown from a phone?

Yes. With Axis or Genea access control (more manufacturers are coming), the console and the phone app lock every door at once and show which doors locked.

Can each school see only its own buildings?

Yes. Access is set per person and per site, so a school’s staff see their own buildings and the district office sees them all.

Does the IT team have to open the firewall?

No. The SmartHub at each site only connects out, so no ports are opened and no firewall rules change.

Bring one building. We will show you the alarm, the patrol and the record it leaves.
