Childcare Security Solutions

CCTV is a vital tool for monitoring and safeguarding childcare centres. It not only protects children and staff but also supports compliance, deters unwanted behaviour, and provides valuable evidence when needed.

We install professional-grade CCTV systems from trusted brands like Hanwha, Hikvision, Axis, Dahua, and others — all tailored to the unique needs of early learning environments.

Key Benefits of CCTV in Childcare:

• High-Definition Coverage: Crystal-clear footage of entryways, playgrounds, reception areas, and shared spaces — allowing staff and management to monitor in real time and review incidents quickly.
• Privacy Masking: Cameras can be configured to automatically blur or block sensitive areas (e.g. nappy changing zones or private offices) in compliance with privacy regulations.
• Remote Access & Playback: Authorised users can securely view footage live or on demand via mobile or web platforms — perfect for directors or owners overseeing multiple locations.
• Smart Motion Detection & Alerts: Receive alerts for movement outside of normal hours, tampering attempts, or when someone enters restricted zones.
• Footage Retention & Export: All recordings are stored for a defined retention period (e.g. 30+ days), easily downloadable for investigations or compliance reports.

How This Protects Children:

• Helps verify and resolve parent or staff complaints quickly and factually
• Deters inappropriate behaviour or unauthorised access
• Reduces risk of false accusations against staff
• Enhances staff supervision and response time to incidents
• Supports safety drills, evacuation reviews, and emergency response

With recent developments in Australian legislation surrounding surveillance, privacy, and workplace safety in education, our CCTV systems are designed to meet — and exceed — upcoming regulatory requirements.

Whether you're looking to upgrade an older system or roll out a new solution across multiple locations, our CCTV packages are fully customisable, scalable, and supported by local monitoring if needed.

A professionally installed alarm system with real-time monitoring provides essential protection for childcare centres — especially outside of business hours when the risk of break-ins, vandalism, or trespassing increases.

At Australian Security Company, we provide comprehensive alarm and monitoring solutions tailored to the layout, risk profile, and operational needs of early learning facilities.

Key Benefits of Alarms & Monitoring in Childcare:

• Intrusion Detection: Our alarm systems include door and window reed switches, motion sensors (PIRs), and glass break detectors to instantly detect unauthorised entry.
• Duress & Panic Alarms: Silent duress buttons can be installed at reception or staff areas, providing immediate alerts to our monitoring centre in case of emergencies.
• After-Hours Monitoring (24/7): Your alarms are linked to our professional back-to-base monitoring centre. If triggered, we can dispatch security patrols or emergency services in real time — even when the centre is closed.
• Mobile Notifications & Remote Control: Receive alerts directly to your phone, and arm/disarm the system remotely via secure apps.
• Alarm Response Integration: All alarms can be paired with patrol response services, so any activation is followed up by trained guards to physically inspect the site.

How This Protects Children:

Prevents break-ins and tampering with sensitive areas (e.g. medical storage, administration, IT rooms)

• Ensures immediate response to unauthorised access attempts
• Gives staff a direct safety option during confrontational or suspicious situations
• Reduces downtime or damage from vandalism and theft
• Adds an essential layer of protection for valuable assets, data, and equipment

In recent years, many childcare centres have become targets for after-hours theft (iPads, electronics, food delivery stock) or vandalism. A monitored alarm system — backed by professional patrols — ensures you’re never left vulnerable.

Whether it’s a single site or multiple centres, our alarm and monitoring packages are scalable, cost-effective, and fully managed by a trusted Australian team.

Intercoms are an essential first line of defence for childcare centres, helping staff verify visitors before granting access — without needing to leave a secure area.

We offer professional-grade intercom systems from trusted brands like Aiphone, 2N, Dahua, and Hikvision, with options to suit single-site and multi-building centres.

Key Benefits of Intercoms in Childcare:

• Video Verification of Visitors: See and speak to parents, contractors, or unknown visitors before unlocking the gate or front door. High-definition video helps staff make informed decisions in real time.
• Integration with Access Control: Pair your intercom with electronic locks or access control systems, so staff can remotely unlock doors after verifying a visitor.
• Hands-Free Operation: Wall-mounted and desk-mounted models with hands-free audio support hygienic, fast interaction — ideal in busy reception areas.
• Multi-Room or Multi-Building Support: Easily link classrooms, admin offices, and external gates together, allowing flexible communication and fast response from anywhere on site.
• Mobile Intercom Apps: Some systems allow remote answering from smartphones or tablets — perfect for directors or staff on the move.

How This Protects Children:

• Ensures only verified individuals are granted access to the premises
• Prevents tailgating or walk-in intrusions at drop-off/pick-up
• Allows staff to stay in secure zones while managing entry points
• Supports lockdown protocols by keeping doors closed unless cleared
• Gives peace of mind to parents knowing all access is controlled

Whether you're installing a simple front-gate intercom or a multi-zone system covering several entry points, we can help design a solution that enhances safety, streamlines communication, and meets compliance standards.
