Facility
The Jersey Community School District is in a rural community located
approximately 50 miles northeast of St.
Louis, MO. Area
residents work in a mix of service industry, education, manufacturing, retail
business, farming, and professional occupations. The community is also part of
the St. Louis Metropolitan Area so there is a large commuter population.
Objective
Administration
recognized that there was a pressing need to upgrade its current surveillance
system. In recent years, Jersey Community High School (JCHS) had been
vandalized, experienced incidents of disorderly conduct that were not captured
on their current surveillance system. Prior to the integration of its new
security platform, JCHS relied on a methodology comprised of 32 interior and
exterior, low quality, analog security cameras that were not providing the
quality image they were seeking.
Solution
JCHS partnered with Primary Systems to install and integrate Avigilon’s
HD surveillance cameras and encoders. With the integration of four 5 mega pixel
and two 2 mega pixel Avigilon surveillance cameras, mounted in strategic areas
of the building, JCHS was given the complete solution they envisioned. With
better quality images being produced by the new Avigilon cameras, JCHS had the
system they needed to dramatically decrease the likelihood of improper conduct
and increase the safety and overall protection of their students and staff in
the facility.
To correspond with the new Avigilon
IP cameras, Primary Systems was able to integrate the school’s existing 32
analog cameras into the Avigilon platform by simply replacing the existing
systems DVRs with high resolution Avigilon analog video encoders. This upgrade
not only facilitated deployment and reduced costs, but also improved the performance
of the existing cameras as well.
