This session brings together IT leaders, administrators, teachers, and security teams to explore a more connected approach to school safety. Attendees will see how schools can detect incidents, trigger lockdown and active-shooter workflows, and deliver the right message across speakers, phones, desktops, mobile devices, and signage in seconds. The session will also highlight how modern camera platforms and AI-driven analytics can move beyond passive recording to automated detection and alerting, helping schools identify potential threats, validate events, and route notifications faster across existing safety systems. Topics will include real-time awareness, automated response workflows, and how a unified safety strategy can connect video surveillance, emergency notifications, paging, and access control to improve coordination during both daily operations and critical events.
