Education
Two important factors at every school are information and safety. Students and teachers need to have access to libraries all over the world, research tools, audio/visual materials, periodicals and more. The internet is the perfect way to bring this information into the schools. Therefore, school systems have been quick to adopt IT strategies resulting in today’s “wired” classrooms and educational facilities.
However, the learning environment needs to be safe. In fact, it should be so secure that safety isn’t even on the minds of students and educators. As a result, time-lapse VCRs and computer-based DVRs that utilize video from analog surveillance cameras have been an important part of the overall security of school campuses for many years now.
Today there are thousands and thousands of educational facilities all over the world that are already wired for IT and surveillance. Additionally, IT infrastructure is always an important component of any newly built school or university building. The exacqVision video management system is geared to utilize all of these resources. While every exacqVision system takes advantage of today’s high definition megapixel network surveillance cameras, our hybrid systems incorporate existing analog cameras as well.
The result is state-of-the-art surveillance, flexibility and cost efficiency. Moreover, the popularity of Macintosh computers in the classroom prompted Exacq Technologies to create a version of our client software for the Mac.

“We needed video management software that
operated on industry standard servers that our IT personnel could maintain
without the additional expense of outside services.
The software needed to be intuitive and easy to use
so that our principals and staff could manage the
day to day activities of searching and exporting
video. ExacqVision VMS software met our
requirements."

exacqVision Hybrid Video Management Systems
(VMS) were installed in Bloom Township High School
District 206 to maximize the safety of students and
staff. Nine 32-input exacqVision Hybrid
Systems were installed to replace aging DVRs that
were recording 225 analog cameras in two high
schools and an administration building. Each school
has the exacqVision client software installed
on the principals and secretaries PCs that have
access to only those cameras located in their
building. When an incident is reported staff will
search digital video recorded to investigate and
support their findings. Video can be easily exported
to a DVD or USB flash drive and can be shown to
students, parents or police as evidence. Video
evidence helps Bloom Township Schools reduce repeat
offences.
