Case
Study: 101 Street High School
Challenge
Faced: Reduce Violence, Guns, graffiti, drugs, fighting
and weapons in the High School.
Visec
Solution: Strategically implemented 18 IP cameras
throughout the High School. No Drilling or Trenching
was done. Visec engineers Implemented Visec Mobile (VM),
allowing all security guards to achieve a mobile presence.
Installed a Visec License Plate Recognition System to
track all cars entering and exiting the school. Installed
Visec Automation, which tied in numerous dry contact
sensory equipment including: door sensors, window sensors,
and laser PIR sensors.
Summary:
Given the recent trend of escalating violence in schools,
parents, faculty and students are all looking for a
solution to reduce violence on camupus and prevent catastrophic
incidents from occurring. The high cost involved of
modest video surveillance systems has prevent many schools
from installing state of the art security systems.
Visec
Surveillance's strategic implementation of IP cameras,
combined with its network video recorder (NVR) allowed
parents, students and faculty an additional component
of security to soothe nerves and enjoy peace of mind
on campus. Visec implemented a scalable IP solution
to 101 St. High School as part of its convergence model.
The
Visec License Plate recognition system was implemented
to track all cars entering and exiting. Alarm door sensors
and laser PIR sensors were placed on key threat areas,
such as the computer lab and gym. In many parts of the
school, wireless IP cameras were implemented further
preventing expensive trenching and cabling. The entire
solution was done without costly drenching. Visec NVR
was able to tap into the existing local area network
of 101 St. High School, saving the school over $50,000.
Faculty
now has the ability to:
Track Licenses plates of all vehicles. All plates are
stored in a database
Bad license plates trigger a warning alert
Monitor strangers on or off campus
Knows when doors, window and gates are opened via Visec
Auotmaton with integtated sensors
Be alerted of fights or disputes that may arise
Observe possible thefts
Monitor Parking lot problems
Monitor nuisances like graffiti or other destructive
acts
Ensure Teacher safety
See a snapshot of the entire school
Benefits
to 101 St. High School:
Visible
cameras continually work as a deterrent to prevent incidents
from occurring entirely.
Reduced
necessary costs associated with school security.
Several
cameras were able to cover a wide area of campus, reducing
otherwise costly staffing fees.
Faculty
now has quick accessibility to monitor the entire school
campus and alert necessary personnel.
Evidence
can be preserved on digital format
Remote
Monitoring- After hours, schools can be remotely monitored
by administration,school police, etc.
In today's uncertain times, Intelligent Video Surveillance
Systems like the Visec NVR are a critical component
to ensuring the safety and well being of faculty and
students. The recent reduction in crime statistics at
101 Street High School, further warrants exploring such
systems by schools.
