Solution for Campus Environments
The Challenge:
Although video surveillance leads the way, schools and other campus facilities will be safer, smarter and more efficient through real-time connected intelligence. True campus safety encompasses more than the use of the cameras, and sole use of cameras for campus security involves the following risks:
■ Privacy concerns.
■ Unmonitored areas where drugs, sexual assaults, bullying and vandalism occur.
■ Cameras that lack intelligence and analytics.
Situational awareness challenges include:
■ Focus on specific areas of a campus, excluding linked or nearby crime.
■ Separate systems for access control, video management, license plate recognition, fires, and social media.
■ Multiple security personnel monitoring the system to manage critical assets and incidents.
