Campus safety

Safer campuses start with systems that work every day

Texas schools are working to stricter safety standards than ever: locked exterior doors, campus maps with numbered doors, silent panic alerts in every classroom, and regular audits to prove it all works. At the same time, campuses still need to welcome families, make every resource count and keep learning on schedule.

Alarm Masters helps schools meet those standards with systems staff can actually use. We design, install, monitor and service security and life-safety systems for K-12 districts, charter schools, private schools and colleges, and we keep them working all year, not just on audit day.

Campus systems

One team for every safety system on campus

Texas requirements

Built around Texas school safety requirements

Since 2023, Texas public schools and open-enrollment charter schools have new safety rules to meet. Alyssa's Law (SB 838) requires silent panic alert technology in every classroom that connects staff with emergency services. House Bill 3 and the TEA school safety standards cover exterior doors, access control and campus maps with door numbering. We help you put the right systems in place and keep them working.

On campus

Built for how schools really work

A secure front door

The main entrance is where most school safety plans start. We combine access control on exterior doors, a video intercom at the front desk and cameras on the approach, so staff can see who is outside, speak to them and decide whether to let them in. Every other door stays locked and monitored, and if one is propped open, staff know straight away.

Lockdown in seconds

When something goes wrong, every second counts. With access control and PA working together, an administrator can lock every exterior door and make a campus-wide announcement from one screen or phone, while silent panic alerts in each classroom notify responders without a sound.

Vape detection in restrooms and locker rooms

Vaping is one of the most common problems schools ask us about. Vape detectors are placed in restrooms and locker rooms, areas where cameras cannot go, and send instant alerts to staff when vapor is detected.

Colleges and universities

Larger campuses need systems that scale: access control across dozens of buildings, PA and mass notification for outdoor spaces, and cameras managed from one platform. We design campus-wide systems that grow with you, one building or phase at a time.

Questions from schools

School security questions

Still have a question? Call 281-933-3900.

What security systems do Texas schools need?

Public and charter schools need locked and monitored exterior doors, campus maps with access control and door numbering, silent panic alert technology in every classroom and a working fire alarm system. Most also use cameras, a front-entrance intercom and a PA system. We help you plan the right mix for each campus.

What is Alyssa's Law in Texas?

Alyssa's Law (SB 838) requires Texas public school districts and open-enrollment charter schools to provide silent panic alert technology in every classroom, so staff can contact emergency services immediately.

Where should security cameras go in a school?

Cover the main entrance and vestibule, every exterior door, hallways, cafeterias, gyms, parking lots, bus loops and athletic areas. Cameras do not go in restrooms or locker rooms; vape detectors can cover those areas instead.

Can we lock down the whole campus at once?

Yes. With access control and PA working together, staff can lock every exterior door and make an announcement from one screen or phone.

Can you add to the systems our district already has?

Yes. Many campuses run a mix of older panels, cameras and door hardware. We can monitor and service what is already installed and expand it campus by campus, so upgrades line up with your bond, planning or grant cycles.

Do you install during the school year?

Yes. We schedule around classes and events, and save the biggest work for breaks and summer when possible.
