AI-powered campus safety.
Turn the cameras you already have into a 24/7 safety system — protecting students on every corridor, gate and yard, around the clock.
A school is one of the hardest places to supervise.
Traditional cameras record the past — they don't help anyone act in time.
Many cameras, few eyes
One or two staff cannot watch dozens of corridors, gates and yards at once.
Incidents happen between rounds
Trespassing, vaping and hazards occur in the seconds nobody is looking.
Footage is reviewed too late
CCTV records the past — it cannot warn anyone, or prevent harm, in the moment.
Duty of care keeps rising
Parents, boards and regulators expect demonstrable, around-the-clock safeguarding.
Built on the cameras you already have.
No new hardware in most cases. SiteGuard connects to existing CCTV and turns passive recording into active, real-time protection.
Connect
Plugs into existing IP cameras and NVRs over RTSP / ONVIF — no rewiring, no new hardware in most cases.
Detect
AI models run on the edge box, analysing every feed in real time, 24/7, across all event categories.
Alert
Instant push, SMS or email to the right staff — with the exact camera, a clip and full context.
Analyze
One dashboard for live feeds, event logs and exportable reports for review and compliance.
Detection capabilities, grouped by what they protect.
Each model runs on the edge box, analysing every feed in real time — every alert carries the camera, a clip and a confidence score.
Weapon Detection
Identifies knives, sticks and similar handheld weapons the moment they appear in view.
- Gate and entrance screening without slow, manual bag searches.
- Instant alert can trigger lockdown and notify security and police.
- After-hours intruders carrying weapons caught, even in low light.
Impact — The earliest possible warning for the highest-stakes threat a school can face.
Fire Detection
Spots visible flame in any monitored area — indoors or outdoors, day or night.
- Covers labs, kitchens, boiler rooms and storage — the usual ignition points.
- Often faster than smoke detectors in open halls and outdoor areas.
- Pinpoints the exact room to speed a calm, targeted evacuation.
Impact — Seconds of early warning, before a small flame becomes a full evacuation.
Smoke & Fume Event
Confirms genuine fire events from combined smoke and flame signatures — built to cut false alarms.
- Tells a real fire apart from steam, dust or a vape cloud.
- Can trigger the fire alarm and public-address system automatically.
- Covers blind spots between conventional smoke detectors.
Impact — Escalation you can trust: fewer false alarms, faster response to real ones.
Smoking Detection
Identifies lit cigarettes, vapes and e-cigarettes anywhere a camera can see.
- Covers washrooms, stairwells and back fields — the vaping hotspots.
- Logs repeat offenders to support pastoral follow-up.
- Enforces a smoke-free policy without stationing staff at every door.
Impact — A healthier, smoke-free campus, enforced consistently and without patrols.
Mask Compliance
Flags anyone without a face mask in zones where one is required.
- Switch on instantly during a flu season or health emergency.
- Keep it on permanently for clinic, sick-bay and lab zones.
- Flexible rules per zone and per period — no blanket policy needed.
Impact — Stand up a health protocol overnight, and show evidence of compliance.
Phone Use Detection
Recognises hand-to-screen and phone-holding postures during lessons and exams.
- Enforce phone-free exam halls and classrooms automatically.
- Flag distraction during lessons for the teacher to address.
- Provide time-stamped evidence to support exam-integrity cases.
Impact — Protect learning time and exam fairness without confiscation battles.
Sleeping Detection
Spots head-down, prolonged-stillness postures that may signal a problem.
- A pupil unwell or asleep in class or the library gets noticed.
- Night security or boarding supervisors asleep on duty are flagged.
- Prompts a quiet welfare check rather than a public call-out.
Impact — Surface wellbeing and duty-of-care concerns early, before they're missed.
Area Entry
Flags the moment a person enters a defined virtual zone on any camera.
- Protect out-of-bounds areas — rooftops, plant rooms, pools and labs.
- Alert on after-hours access to classrooms, offices and stores.
- Draw and redraw zones in software — no fences or sensors to fit.
Impact — Virtual fencing on any camera, protecting off-limits areas with no new hardware.
Area Exit
Flags the moment a person leaves a defined zone or crosses the perimeter.
- Catch a pupil wandering off-campus or out of a supervised area.
- Alert on perimeter and gate breaches the instant they happen.
- Extra safeguarding for early-years and SEN pupils who may stray.
Impact — Know the moment a child leaves a safe zone, and act before they're gone.
People Counting
Keeps an accurate, real-time headcount in any area, indoors or outdoors.
- Enforce assembly, hall and lab capacity limits automatically.
- Support evacuation roll-call with a live zone-by-zone count.
- Plan canteen and corridor flow around real peak-time data.
Impact — Live occupancy you can act on, for safety today and planning tomorrow.
Face Recognition
Matches faces against enrolled staff, visitor and watchlist records at entry points.
- Flag banned or non-custodial individuals at the gate, silently.
- Automate staff and visitor access logs — no manual sign-in.
- Recognise expected visitors for a faster, warmer welcome.
Impact — Know who is on campus, automatically, with consent-based, configurable enrolment.
Outcomes for schools.
From faster response to a lighter staff load — what changes once SiteGuard is watching every corridor, gate and yard.
Faster response
Alerts in seconds to the right staff — not a review of footage after the fact.
Safer behaviour
People self-correct when they know risks are detected consistently.
Evidence on demand
Time-stamped clips for records, incident reviews and audits.
Lighter staff load
No more watching a wall of monitors hoping to catch the one thing that matters.
No new hardware
Runs on the CCTV and network you already operate — most sites add nothing.
Multi-site view
Manage many sites from one dashboard, with consistent rules everywhere.
Eight more models in active training.
Delivered as software updates to the same edge box, with no new hardware to install.
Uniform compliance
Flags students out of dress code in monitored zones.
Shirtless person
Detects exposed-torso individuals in public areas.
Illegal parking
Spots vehicles stopped in fire lanes, gates and no-park zones.
Exposed long hair
Flags untied long hair near labs, machinery and kitchens.
Climbing detection
Catches climbing on fences, gates, roofs and railings.
Fight detection
Recognises aggressive grappling and striking between people.
Quick movement
Detects sudden running or scattering that signals panic.
Overspeed detection
Flags vehicles moving too fast on access roads and lots.
