Security systems play a vital role in protecting students, staff and assets at schools.
Modern school security systems play a vital role in protecting students, staff, and assets. For Christchurch Boys’ High School, partnering with a trusted local expert was the key to upgrading outdated systems and future-proofing their campus.
With rapid changes in technology and increasing safety expectations, schools can’t afford to rely on legacy systems. That’s why Christchurch Boys’ High School reached out to Combined Security Solutions, a Christchurch-based leader in electronic school security solutions, to design a smarter, scalable system.
“Before the upgrade, our existing school security setup was outdated, clunky, and hard to expand,” explains Deputy Principal Craig Dunnett. “Managing and growing the system for our needs became nearly impossible.”
As new classroom blocks, halls, bike storage, and a full campus redevelopment took shape, the school needed cutting-edge CCTV systems that could handle more than just passive monitoring. They needed complete visibility and control.
Combined Security Solutions delivered a tailored school security system that included IP surveillance cameras, automated gates, and integrated classroom monitoring — all controlled via a secure mobile app and onsite server.
“We now have full oversight of the entire school site using encrypted remote access and easy-to-use interface tools. We even rolled out the same system to our boarding house facilities,” Dunnett says.
From installation to ongoing support, the school has been impressed by the professionalism and results.
“The system is reliable, the support is excellent, and we know our security partner is invested in our long-term needs.”
Now, Christchurch Boys’ High School can confidently manage its security infrastructure, knowing it's backed by a local team that understands the education sector's unique demands.
