Higher education campuses all share a common need to provide for the education, comfort, safety, and security of students, staff and visitors at all times. From monitoring facilities with expensive or potentially harmful supplies to commercial areas such as bookstores, cafeterias, and vending machine halls, the deployment of IP-based, integrated video solutions is proving to be a versatile and cost-effective security solution.
Campus security departments and police forces continually deal with a wide range of concerns, including common crimes like theft, burglary, and vandalism. And institutions that do not have adequate campus-wide surveillance often face seeing attendance and tuition fall as parents and college-rating services use campus security as an essential criterion in their college selection decisions. In the US, schools are required to annually disclose information about crime and their prevention policies in and around campus. This data has a real impact on students, their families, the institution and its staff.
Most colleges cannot afford security forces large enough to watch the thousands of students and monitor all buildings 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Consequently, colleges and universities look increasingly to the added eyes of video surveillance for assistance.
In this free report “Higher Education Learns How to Optimize Operations with Video Technology” you’ll learn how new developments in video surveillance networking and integration, based on open platform IP technology, are helping colleges and universities make it easier to improve safety and security, as well as enhance operations and minimize losses across a wide variety of uses.
You’ll see how Milestone Systems, along with many of its integration and development partners, has worked with college and university managers across the country to deploy effective security solutions. While each school faces its own set of challenges, video surveillance and the open platform partner community have come together to provide flexibility, reliability and leading technology for meeting those requirements.
