Wyo. High School Upgrades to IP Video Surveillance (7/26/10)
Cody High School in Wyoming worked with integrator ISC to replace its analog video system with Axis network cameras to improve the protection of students, secure community events and future-proof school security.
The district decided an IP-based surveillance system with higher image quality and more advanced features would provide much better forensic detail, act as a deterrent for vandalism and other inappropriate activity, and enable quicker and easier video searches following a security event.
“The video from our old analog camera system was so pixilated, we only identified culprits about 15 percent of time,” said Brandon Jensen, principal of Cody High School. “Our new Axis cameras have such amazing image clarity that so far we’ve been able to identify who was doing what 100 percent of the time.”
ISC recommended an array of 80 indoor and outdoor network cameras from Axis Communications to monitor the school building and its 42-acre campus. The exterior cameras are equipped with automatic day/night functionality to provide a clear picture of people and objects even in low-light conditions. School administrative and security staff use NetDVMS, OnSSI’s video management system, to monitor and investigate the video as well as manage the Axis cameras over the school’s fiber network.
The onsite school resource officer (SRO) has full access to the school’s cameras and serves as the liaison to the chief of police and Park County Sheriff’s Department. In an emergency, the SRO can share password access to the cameras and, if needed, the mobile command unit operated by Park County Search and Rescue has wireless access to live video.
