It is now estimated that there are in excess of 100,000 CCTV cameras in secondary schools and academies across England, Wales and Scotland. However, why are educational institutions only investing in video surveillance recently? CCTV practices have been viewed in previous years of education for being unnecessary insurance due to schools possessing tight budgets which makes these security measures difficult to incorporate, whilst simultaneously performing their regular school processes.
Furthermore, the growing pressure of protecting students and teachers encouraged schools to pursue an affordable solution for CCTV which Dahua Technology have resolved through the adoption of different technological advancements.
Infrastucture
Security is a serious issue throughout all industries but as the value of stock increases usually so does the value of the security system. Art and Crime have gone hand-in-hand for centuries, expensive pieces have been on the mind of criminals all throughout history. Could well thought out smart security systems end art theft? Art theft may seem like an issue of the past with the technology we have at our disposal but there is still a scary amount of thefts every year.
Coverage
Although this solution of networking within infrastructures demonstrates the security system doesn't consider how school establishments will be able to cover the expenses of multiple camera systems. Well not only has networking technology evolved, camera technology has as well! The replacement of IP and analogue cameras within recent years has presented the competence to produce HD quality images from far distances with the functions of digital zoom and facial recognition; ensuring higher quality coverage for less cameras and overall cost.
Multi-lens
This money-saving security has been improved through the innovation of a technology called multi-lens. By integrating multiple camera systems into a singular device, it allows multiple camera feeds over a single connection from various angles to ensure the most productive and leading standard of camera security systems. Meanwhile costs, time and infrastructure are concurrently saved by investing in multi-lens, in comparison to installing multiple cameras appears unnecessary considering the available technology of multi-lens where multiple repairs and large quantity of recording channels aren't overly consuming.
Thermal imaging
Unlike the creation of multi-lens, thermal imaging has been an expensive technology in traditional CCTV systems which became popularized for being used in military operations because otherwise the technology wasn't deemed as a necessity and seemed ridiculous to incorporate within establishments including schools due to its overwhelming physical size and other expenses.
Nowadays, thermal cameras are prioritised for detecting intruder movement across extreme distances during pitch-black settings in order to further protect building’s blind spots and consequently earns more effective protection.
The electronic market has additionally been invested within the advancement of AI (Artificial Intelligence) considering its potential across countless mediums – including security cameras. The self-monitoring system embraces the function of facial recognition and further detects human monitoring through behavioural patterns to determine potential problems before them have even occurred. As a result, the AI could function within school’s security systems by sending a warning to teachers addressing a potential threat regarding a student with specific information including: the student’s identity, their location and their behavioural patterns.
