Private schools & daycares
Private schools, preschool, and licensed daycare. Intercom at pickup, door access records, and Protect cameras for vestibules, secured entries, and staff operations.
G3 Intercom at pickup — Intercom Viewers inside so more than one room can see who is at the door.
Private schools and daycares are small campuses — but they rarely get campus-grade security design.
These sites often end up with a consumer camera, a shared keypad code, and no real plan. The building is small, but pickup at the door, who is in the building, and coverage on the lot and playground are still real problems.
We design door access, UniFi intercoms, entry records, cameras, and Intercom Viewers sized for the site — G3 Intercom at pickup, viewers in the office and classroom wing when staff need fixed answering stations. Scoped for a private school or child-care center that can make decisions without a district procurement process.

ROI & efficiency
Why schools and daycares invest
Private schools and licensed daycares are small campuses — parent trust, pickup safety, and defensible records matter as much as the hardware line item.
- 01
Parent trust and liability
Clear coverage of entrances, pickup zones, and classroom wings reduces disputed incidents and builds parent confidence. Some centers treat secure viewing access as a differentiator — and price accordingly.
- 02
After-hours incidents
Schools commonly report steep drops in trespassing, vandalism, and certain student issues once smart detection and alerts are configured — often 70% or more versus an unmonitored baseline.
- 03
Staff time
Smart search and AI alerts shrink footage review from hours to minutes. One documented school case cut review time roughly 80% after commissioning.
- 04
Pickup and access
UniFi Access with G3 Intercom at the door and Intercom Viewers inside eliminates shared keypad codes and gives a clear audit trail of who entered when.
- 05
