Playing it Safe – Y-cam & Wavestore create a seamless security solution for schools
Posted on Friday, May 11th, 2012
Over the past few weeks we have been looking into school’s security. CCTV is a hot topic regarding school, however reports and our customers’ experiences have shown that, when deployed correctly, CCTV is a truly beneficial method in ensuring school’s security. One such school is Penglais School, who are benefitting from a number of Y-cam Bullet cameras and Wavestore Granite NVR.
Requirements
Penglais School is an extremely successful school with a perfect ethos to ensure that all their 1400 students can excel within a safe and secure learning environment. To support their on-going efforts, IT Manager Len Vaughan decided to update the school’s out dated CCTV system with a new, future proof IP infrastructure.
Len identified that the school needed a solution that would fit within their budget yet continue to aid in providing the securest environment for their students.
Solutions
After agreeing that the Wavestore Granite would be the best storage solution, they set about locating the right cameras that would not only be compatible with their NVR but would uphold their wish to take the school into the digital realm. Wavestore recommended Y-cam to Mr Vaughan and once he saw the quality, features and ease of install of the Y-cam Bullet cameras, he know that these were the right choice for Penglais School.
Outcome
Penglais school now have eleven Y-cam Bullet cameras, creating a non-evasive yet secure environment for students, staff and visitors, whilst protecting the perimeter and offering an outstanding deterrent to external vandals.
After implementing the solution three months ago, Len and Penglais are thrilled with the outcome and are already looking to expand the system to cover more of the school’s grounds and offer them more benefits.
