Education Solutions
Safe Campuses & Connected Classrooms.
DSC delivers comprehensive life safety, security, and communication solutions for K-12 districts and higher education facilities across Texas.
Securing Environments for Learning.
Modern educational facilities require more than just a fire alarm; they demand an integrated ecosystem that protects students and staff while ensuring rapid communication during emergencies. From securing the front vestibule to ensuring public safety radio coverage in the gymnasium, DSC understands the unique operational tempo of the education sector. We partner with school districts, architects, and general contractors to design and install systems that are robust, code-compliant, and easy for administration to manage
Campus-Wide Technology Integration
We consolidate your critical low-voltage systems into a single, managed workflow.
-
Video Surveillance, Access Control & More
Control who enters your campus. We deploy centralized access control systems for vestibules and perimeter doors, integrated with high-definition video surveillance to give administrators total situational awareness. We also provide intrusion detection and silent panic solutions to speed up response times during critical incidents.
-
Fire Alarm & Life Safety
Compliance is non-negotiable. We install and service addressable fire alarm systems and voice-evacuation platforms designed for dense occupancies. We ensure your systems meet all state and local codes, keeping your "Green Tags" current and your buildings safe for occupancy.
-
Critical Communications Systems
In an emergency, clear communication saves lives. We specialize in BDA (Bi-Directional Amplifier) systems to ensure first responders have radio signal inside your buildings. We also install modern IP-based intercom, paging, and bell systems that allow for instant mass notification across a single campus or an entire district.
-
Structured Data Cabling
The digital classroom runs on reliable infrastructure. We design and install the high-performance copper and fiber optic backbones required to support high-density Wi-Fi, smartboards, and security devices. We ensure your district has the organized cable management and bandwidth capacity needed to handle future technology growth without bottlenecks.
Supporting the Lifecycle of Every Campus
New Construction & Renovation
Whether it is a ground-up new high school or a summer renovation project, our project management team integrates seamlessly with your General Contractor. We handle the submittals, engineering, and installation to ensure your project finishes on time and within the bond budget
Aligned with District Standards
We build to your specifications. We understand the importance of hardware uniformity across a district and strictly adhere to your established design guidelines. By ensuring new installations align with your preferred platforms for video, access, and fire, we help you maintain a cohesive ecosystem that simplifies staff training and maintenance.
Proactive Service & Testing
The job isn't done when the school opens. We provide the ongoing fire inspections, security maintenance, and software updates required to keep your systems viable for years. We help you move from reactive "break/fix" repairs to a predictable maintenance budget.
Serving Education Stakeholders
Reliability & Compliance
You need systems that work and vendors who show up. We handle your annual fire inspections and preventative maintenance, providing the documentation you need for the Fire Marshal. When a system goes down, our local technicians are ready to restore operation quickly.
Network Integration
We deploy modern, IP-based solutions that play nice with your network. Whether you prefer on-premise servers or cloud-hosted architecture, we coordinate with your department to ensure bandwidth efficiency and cybersecurity best practices.
Safety & Control
Your focus is the safety of your students. We provide user-friendly interfaces that allow you to initiate lockdowns, view cameras, or make all-call announcements instantly from a desktop or mobile device—without needing a technical degree.
