Monitored security systems for schools
Remote-monitored alarms and CCTV protect students, staff and facilities around the clock - at a fraction of the cost of manual security, and without the long contracts.
AMCO has provided security monitoring to schools for over 10 years, including an ongoing partnership with a Catholic boarding school in North Yorkshire.
Up to half the price of our competitors
School security budgets are tight. AMCO's monitoring charges typically undercut larger competitors significantly, without cutting corners on protection - which adds up to real savings over a multi-year contract.
- Lower monthly monitoring charges
- Real savings over the life of the system
Interactive monitoring, not just a call-back
Rather than simply calling a keyholder after the fact, AMCO's interactive monitoring means our team responds immediately when an alarm activates - available around the clock, every day.
- Immediate staff response on activation
- 24/7 monitoring, every day of the year
1 year minimum, not 3
Some providers tie schools into 3-year contracts with a full year's notice to leave. AMCO's minimum term is just 1 year, with a 3-month notice period - so you're never stuck with a system that isn't working for you.
- 3-month notice period, not 12
- No being locked in for years
Outdoor surveillance that deters misconduct
Classroom monitoring only covers so much - outdoor CCTV around the grounds helps deter misconduct and identify those responsible when something does happen. AMCO's school installations are fully integrated with the rest of your site's security.
- 8-camera system with recording, from ~£2,000 installed
- One recent North Yorkshire install came in 75% cheaper than a competitor's quote
24/7 interactive alarm monitoring
If you've already got an alarm system, you don't necessarily need to replace it - AMCO can often add interactive, 24/7 monitoring to your existing setup for a modest one-off cost.
- Immediate challenge on activation, day or night
- Add interactive monitoring to an existing system from ~£85 + VAT
