Description
Accurate timekeeping is critical in modern schools. IP clock systems ensure every classroom, corridor, and building displays the same precise time, helping students stay punctual and enabling administrators to run the campus efficiently. By synchronising time across a single IP network, schools reduce maintenance, simplify management, and improve daily operations.
With a synchronised IP clock system, clocks are set once and automatically maintained for years. All clocks stay aligned, update automatically for Daylight Saving Time (DST), and are available in analog and digital formats. Maintenance teams save time, while staff and students benefit from consistent, reliable time displays.
Today’s school clock systems are built on three proven technologies: PoE (Power over Ethernet), Wi-Fi, Wireless & GPS. Each delivers highly accurate time synchronisation and supports scalable, campus-wide deployments.
PoE Clock System
PoE clocks receive both power and time directly from the Ethernet network. This removes the need for batteries, AC power outlets, or a master clock.
Benefits of PoE Clock Systems
Plug-and-play installation
No batteries or power outlets required
Energy-efficient and reliable
Minimal maintenance
No master clock needed – uses the existing IP network
PoE clock systems are ideal for new schools, refurbishments, and campuses with structured cabling.
Wi-Fi Clock System
A Wi-Fi clock system connects to the existing wireless network to maintain accurate, synchronised time throughout the school. No cabling or master clock is required.
Why Choose Wi-Fi Clocks
Fast and cost-effective deployment
No impact on Wi-Fi performance
Battery-powered clocks can be installed anywhere with coverage
No master clock required
Analog Wi-Fi clocks can be battery or AC powered, while digital Wi-Fi clocks are AC powered.
Wireless Clock System
A wireless clock system uses a master clock (system controller) that receives time via Ethernet or GPS. The master transmits time signals to clocks using radio frequency.
Key Advantages
Quick installation with minimal disruption
Wireless communication with local 230/240 VAC
Ideal for expanding legacy wired clock systems
Low maintenance and long battery life
Battery-powered clocks can be placed anywhere
Wireless clock systems scale easily and are popular for large school campuses.
GPS Clock System for Outdoor & Remote Areas
A GPS clock system is the ideal solution for outdoor locations and remote sites where reliable network connectivity or power infrastructure may be limited. By synchronising directly with GPS satellites, these systems deliver ultra-accurate time without relying on the internet, local servers, or complex cabling.
This makes GPS clocks perfect for school ovals, sports fields, and remote campuses.
GPS Clock Systems Benefits
Independent of internet or LAN connectivity
Atomic-level time accuracy via GPS satellites
Automatic Daylight Saving Time (DST) updates
No time drift across multiple locations
Reliable operation during network outages
Minimal ongoing maintenance
IP Clocks with Speakers & Message Displays
IP clocks can operate as standalone devices or integrate with IP speakers, microphones, and message displays. This creates a unified audio-visual communication system for daily announcements and emergency notifications.
Benefits of an Integrated IP Clock System
All classrooms and buildings display the exact same time
Clear audio and visual alerts for events and emergencies
Improved timing for class changes and school activities
Programmable countdown timers for shared facilities and exams
Network devices such as computers and printers sync to the same time source
PoE and Wi-Fi options enable cost-effective installation and management
Reliable Time Improves Safety and Efficiency
Inconsistent time and messaging can compromise safety and efficiency. A synchronised IP clock and messaging system ensures accurate time visibility and reliable communication across every wing and classroom. Combining IP Clocks with IP Speakers & Message displays is a fantastic way to create an all-inclusive communication system within the school ensuring quick & reliable delivery of audio & visual messages / notifications.
Whether installed indoors or outdoors, IP clocks and IP message displays for schools provide accuracy, efficiency, and peace of mind—keeping your entire campus on time and running smoothly.
