Direct answer
What security should accomplish here
A school or daycare security plan should establish where visitors are received, which exterior and staff doors remain controlled, how after-hours users are separated and what cameras can legitimately observe. Security technology supports the organization’s approved procedures; it does not replace supervision, emergency planning or policy.
Properties and teams we can support
What WeTech can secure
Main visitor entrance
Use controlled doors and video communication so staff can verify visitors before approved entry.
Staff, contractor and service doors
Assign individual credentials to the correct doors and schedules instead of circulating shared keys.
Perimeter and common areas
Plan cameras for legitimate entrance, exterior and shared-area purposes under the facility’s privacy procedures.
After-hours alarm protection
Protect classrooms, offices, equipment and perimeter zones around changing programs and schedules.
Priority risks and workflows to review
- Controlled visitor entry and reception verification

Retrofit, takeover or expansion
Start with what is already installed
Education work should be coordinated around class schedules and approved safety procedures. WeTech can assess existing doors, intercoms, alarms, cameras and cabling, then stage upgrades during lower-occupancy periods.

BC privacy note: When a strata, business or organization uses video surveillance, it should define a reasonable purpose, camera locations, authorized access and retention. The organization remains responsible for its policy and legal review. Read the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner guidance →
