Protecting Schools with Safety Technology: No Cost Camera Updates Keeping Schools Safer

10/1/2025 Products ↗ (Jump To Original Content)

Through a partnership with Axis Communications and Anava, schools in our service area that use Axis security cameras now have access to advanced safety technology designed to respond in critical moments. This new tool gives existing cameras the ability to:

-Detect active shooters, weapons, or suspicious individuals and vehicles -Coordinate lockdowns, live talkdowns, and emergency response workflows -Notify authorities and place direct 911 calls

By unlocking these capabilities, schools can strengthen their emergency preparedness without having to purchase additional equipment or pay more for their existing systems.

At BEK, we believe a cooperative’s role goes beyond providing internet, television, and communications services. Our mission is to protect, connect, and serve the people in our communities. That means delivering solutions that matter, whether on the farm, in the home, or in the classroom.

Thanks to the support of our members, we can continue investing in technology that not only advances how we live and work but also safeguard the people who matter most. Together, we are building safer, stronger communities.
