For all types of campuses, video surveillance continues to play a key role in keeping people safe.
In Campus Safety’s recent Video Surveillance Survey, 94% of K-12, higher education and healthcare respondents reported having one or more video surveillance solutions installed on their campuses.
Another 82% of campuses reported using those systems on a daily basis. More than half (57%) said their security cameras frequently provide evidence for investigations, and another 33% said video surveillance systems sometimes provide evidence. Drilling down further, hospital respondents said their security cameras frequently (75%) or sometimes (25%) provide evidence in investigations.
Additionally, nearly one in three respondents (31%) said their video surveillance systems frequently prevent crime and another 47% say their cameras sometimes prevent crime.
