Child
Care
Childcare centers
are perfect for video surveillance. With the number of working parents increasing,
childcare is becoming an essential part of early education. A video surveillance
system at your day care or childcare center can help keep children safe and
provide parents with peace of mind.
Benefits
of Daycare Security Cameras
- Easy
to Install – You can install a surveillance system with wireless
IP cameras in minutes, just set up the router and mount the cameras, and they
will self-configure.
- Protect
children and employees – A video surveillance system helps you keep
track of your employees and children at all times. Keeping intruders and unwanted
visitors out is easy
- Secure
your building – Video surveillance, in tandem with other security
methods like access control or ID cards, can help keep your building safe
from intruders, thieves and vandals.
- Remote
broadcasting – A security system that uses IP cameras and an NVR
(network video recorder) allows you to transmit your videos over the internet.
If you own multiple day care centers, this allows you to check in on any of
them at any time. You can also give parents the web address to security feeds
in your playroom and playground so they may check on their children
- Improve
image – The enhanced security provided by video surveillance can
give a good impression to potential customers and give your current customers
peace of mind.
Risks of Video
Surveillance at Childcare Centers
- Privacy
– In order to protect the privacy of your employees and the children
you care for, keep security cameras in public places like playrooms, playgrounds,
and nap areas.
Configuration
of Security Cameras at Care Facilities
Child care (daycare,
preschool, community centers, nannies, et al) centers security needs vary widely
in size and location. Consider each of the following when purchasing and setting
up your video surveillance system:
- What do you
consider to be your most important security issue?
- Does your surrounding
neighborhood have security problems?
- How much does
your facility interact with the neighborhood (eg walks, going to the park,
going to movies or museums nearby)?
- What kind of
security system do you currently have in place?
- Have you ever
had issues with break-ins or theft?
- Has there been
a time where you wished you could have caught an incident on tape?
Setup Advice
for Daycare Surveillance
- Place cameras
in open areas at your facility so that children are monitored at any time
during playtime, naptime or meals.
- Cameras in
your parking lot can help prevent theft and vandalism to staff and parent
cars.
- Place cameras
near front entrance in order to get a clear picture of everyone who enters
and exits your building.
- Fixed cameras
near valuables (electronics, office safe, etc) can protect them from theft
and vandalism.
