Connecting Campuses with School Security Cameras and AI Technology

"Connected Schools" use best school security cameras with cutting-edge AI technology to connect the campus functions to the cloud. Administrators can monitor, secure, and optimize educational operations to deliver a safe and healthy learning environment for students and faculty alike.

K-12 schools benefits in a variety of ways from security camera systems:

• Deter bullying and violence among students

• Monitor hallways, courtyards, parking lots, and in some cases, classrooms

• Gather evidence in the event of an incident with high resolution footage

• Deter trespassers and vandals

• Pair with other solutions to create a robust security system

• Protect students and faculty from inside and outside threats

Despite these benefits, school security cameras have a strong stigma due to legal stipulations and privacy concerns. Most teachers and parents agree on the importance of security cameras in common areas like entrances, hallways, and parking lots. But the debate heats up when monitoring classrooms comes into question, even though it is legal.

Challenges like school shooter threats and social distancing rules due to COVID-19 have forced schools to adapt to a new kind of learning environment. And this environment heavily relies on heightened security protocols and cameras in schools.

Video cameras and physical access control are optimal security measures to have in the arsenal. But how can they be enhanced to add another layer of protection to students and teachers?

Unlike traditional CCTV camera systems, Verkada cameras do so much more than just record and retain video footage. These IP cameras are made with cutting-edge AI technology and have the best machine learning capabilities. This helps school administrators to make informed, big picture security decisions.
