In our Step Into Security webinar, we are discussing the recent requirement for some schools to add cameras & microphones to their special education classrooms. In Texas and other states, there is a developing trend for lawmakers to require schools to add video and audio recording equipment to classrooms. This requirement is a result of alleged mistreatment of special education students. The requirement can include adding cameras and microphones to the special needs classrooms under certain circumstances. LENSEC physical security expert Keith Harris will be discussing this topic and presenting solutions for meeting the requirements. Keith is a veteran expert with extensive knowledge of security equipment. Keith has experience working with educators, law enforcement, and others developing security solutions to meet their needs. Please feel free to share this link with your colleagues and join us for future events.
