School security systems designed for real education environments
Metwide designs, installs and supports complete school security systems for public, private and independent schools, colleges and childcare centres. CCTV, access control, alarms, video intercoms, PA, AV, data cabling and fibre, from one licensed provider, with local teams in Sydney, Brisbane and on the Gold Coast.
One provider for the whole school, not five separate contractors
Schools are not standard commercial sites. A school security system has to support student safety, staff access, visitor entry, after-hours protection and privacy, while staying simple enough for office staff, executive staff, cleaners and approved contractors to use through a normal school day. Most sites also carry a mix of ageing cameras, tired intercoms, old alarm devices and legacy cabling that needs upgrading without disrupting classes.
Metwide brings CCTV, alarms, access control, intercoms, PA, AV, data cabling and fibre together under one provider. We start with the site layout, entry points, administration workflow, existing infrastructure and after-hours risk profile, then recommend a practical upgrade path that improves visibility, control and response without overcomplicating the school day.
