CCTV in Education Institutions

1. CCTV SYSTEM
CCTV (closed-circuit television) is a TV system in which signals are not publicly distributed but are
monitored, primarily for surveillance and security purposes. CCTV relies on strategic placement of
cameras and private observation of the camera's input on monitors.
CCTV in Education Institutions
Security, theft and student/teacher personal safety are an increasing priority for Principals. There has
been a general decline in respect for public assets. Over the last 10 years or so.
Where once it might have been the norm to allow visitors onto school and university grounds, this now
poses a potential threat for students, teachers and material assets.
The use of CCTV in educational institutions can be broken down into two broad categories.
 Personal safety of students, teachers and other stakeholders.
 Protection of building infrastructure assets and learning tools i.e. computer equipment.
Specifically, issues such as graffiti, vandalism, anti-social behavior and unwanted visitors need to be
addressed by all education establishments. With the ever increasing cost of new technologies in schools,
the risk of burglary, arson and vandalism needs to be given the appropriate consideration.
Bullying is a major problem in many schools; CCTV is being used as a tool to reduce this issue by placing
cameras at strategic locations, which are known to be hot-spots. When an incident occurs an authorized
user will review the footage and identify the culprit/s.
Drugs are another concern; video evidence of drug dealing can be passed on to the Police.
Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) systems have long been one of the tools used to decrease the risk of
such issues. Traditionally CCTV systems have been costly to implement due to the layout of schools and
universities. Long cable runs from each camera back to a central viewing and recording system are now a
thing of the past.
Inter- Global Technologies Solution Video Surveillance has developed a CCTV/IP video system which
utilizes the facilities’ own IP network, removing the need to install cable runs to a central location. This
reduces installation costs substantially.
Cameras can be recorded locally, near network nodes usually located in each building or at a central
location.
Nominated Users can monitor and playback camera footage from any authorized PC. Our solutions
support a wide choice of CCTV technologies and cabling infrastructure.

2. What do Education Stakeholders say?
“Every weekend and especially on the long weekends we had damage throughout the school. Since Inter-
Global Technologies Solution has been employed we have very minimal vandalism. Inter- Global
Technologies Solution was amazing in organizing the installation and we have no difficulties with the
system.”
IP CCTV in education
Educational institutions are well suited for an IP CCTV surveillance system, because most schools have
an existing computer network infrastructure. This can eliminate the need to lay thick coax cable thus
significantly reducing installation costs. IP based CCTV surveillance systems use a computer network to
transmit video streams. Although more expensive than traditional analogue base systems, IP based
CCTV systems offer higher image resolution which can aid in the actual identification of an individual. IP
systems offer more flexible viewing options
Upgrading to an IP based CCTV system can be done in stages, analogue cameras can be integrated into
a fully digital IP based systems via the use of an encoder or you could start replacing your analogue
cameras with IP cameras that have analogue outputs, then at a later stage you could replace your DVR
with an NVR. Adding an IP camera is like adding an additional Computer to your school, just plug it into
an existing free LAN port. On a traditional analogue system you have to run thick coax every time you
want to add a camera, which is why IP based CCTV are considered more scalable.
