School Surveillance

Security in the education sector is required to protect the premises, staff and students, and be a deterrent for bad behaviour and criminal damage. also exists for safety assurance, providing the ability to monitor an unsupervised facility from one or more remote locations.

Many schools are now installing CCTV systems to prevent malicious attacks against the property, staff and students and to provide evidence of incidents whether in the classroom, corridors or the grounds and surrounding areas. The range of responsibilities placed on schools, colleges, universities and their staff is extensive, and the requirement to be able to review video footage either in real time or historically is necessary; whether the matter is one of trespassing, theft, damage or conflict that has to be responded to.

Wavestore video server solutions accommodate exactly these school surveillance issues and more. Our flexible video management software (VMS) can be moulded to specific school surveillance requirements and will interface seamlessly with virtually all existing hardware. Linked with alarms and access control surveillance systems, Wavestore video recorders (DVR, NVR, and HVR) can be networked to monitor many locations and provide instantaneous notice of an adverse event.

In addition the range of CCTV cameras integrated by Wavestore has been extended to record 360 degree camera technologies, with a proprietary de-warping capability that delivers high quality images whilst the entire image is continuously recorded in order that no detail is lost.

Educational establishments are frequently used for activities outside of the established teaching periods, and we also provide accurate people counting and queue management video analytics solutions that deliver real time data enabling organisations to accurately monitor the number of people in the building. These intelligent detection solutions can also be deployed in a school surveillance environment at the buildings' entrances and exits to differentiate between those walking toward the entrances and those passing by, avoiding the doors opening unnecessarily when heat is lost.

Wavestore school surveillance systems allow users to view, record and playback images from any camera across the entire network, offering a complete and economical solution to schools, universities and other higher education institutions. Whilst the Wavestore video server (the recorder) is maintained on a Linux platform, the remote client software can be installed on Windows (7, Vista, XP) or Linux (Red Hat and Debian based) operating system. One of the benefits of the Wavestore school surveillance system is that the Ubuntu version can be operated on the existing PC network where the Microsoft platform is not the preferred option.
