Cost-Effective School Lockdown Alarm UK

School Lockdown Alarm UK - Camelott

You are in school, and a child enters with a knife. What would you do?

A) Run to raise the alarm to alert others and help get them to safety — but risk leaving the situation unattended, potentially putting others in danger.

B) Confront the child yourself, attempting to manage the situation — but risk harm to yourself and others, with no immediate alert to the rest of the school.

C) Activate the school lockdown alarm immediately, alerting staff and students to secure themselves in safe areas, while emergency services are contacted as well as dealing with the issue.

Growing Threats to School Safety in the UK

Schools across the UK face increasing risks, from unauthorised intruders to violent incidents within the premises from students and parents. Without fast, coordinated responses, these threats can escalate quickly.

Delayed Response Increases Risk

Traditional safety measures — such as word-of-mouth alerts, whistles, fog horns or display alerts — are often slow and unreliable in critical situations. Schools need a rapid, accessable school lockdown solution to keep students and staff safe.

Camelott's School Lockdown Alarm System

A dedicated school lockdown alarm ensures that, at the press of a button, all classrooms, offices, and communal areas are immediately alerted to a lockdown situation. This enables staff to take action instantly, reducing confusion and increasing safety. This could be that all staff are issued a lanyard call fob and can raise the alarm instantly with any situation.

Excellent Lockdown Alarm Install

I reached out to Camelott with hopes that they could Install a Lockdown Alarm System at our School. I mentioned that getting to our site with all of the materials could be a challenge, as our site is based on the Isles of Scilly. John, and the rest of the Camelott team were very accommodating in getting this Install over the line.

From the moment the Camelott Team arrived on our site to Install the System, they were very professional, informative and respectful.

The Lockdown Alarm was operational within several hours, and Jason walked me around the site to make sure I was happy with the sound coverage. We noted that perhaps there was an area of less than ideal coverage, thankfully the guys had brought over and installed an additional sounder.

Tom then talked me through everything that I needed to know about the software side of the system, where he explained how to access each individual sounder and how to run tests remotely. This was a very straightforward and easy to grasp explanation.

I would highly recommend Camelott to any schools/public spaces who are looking to comply with Martyn's Law in the near future, for their Lockdown Alarm needs.

"An effective solution is professionally delivered"

I would like to recommend Camelott to you as a provider of standalone lockdown alarm systems.

We had struggled to adapt our fire alarm system to adequately provide an emergency alarm associated with lockdown and, I presume like many other schools/Academies had resorted to a specified number of rings to signify lockdown using our fire alarm bells, this was confusing for staff and children alike.

Camelott staff visited our site and assessed for the best possible solution. Once agreed, the installation was quick and easy with minimal impact to décor or the school day, we were even able to choose our preferred alarm sound - voice commands were also available as an option.
