Applications for Campuses, Schools and Universities

Keeping general order and maintaining safety in institutional and educational facilities is complex. Centralizing your observation efforts benefits your security detail, and enhances your staff's general safety program. This can also be beneficial in reducing the staff required to observe visitors and students.

Furthermore, during times of student unrest and demonstrations, remote observation from a central location may be the only way you and the safety staff can safely collect and maintain evidence used for rescue or law enforcement purposes. Because of the volatile nature of a riot, viewing and recording activities is a valuable practice that helps to protect both staff member and student.

When you observe that the safety staff is alert, and on the job, and students are going about their normal business, you can maintain the highest quality of service and safety for the student and staff member. Typical uses are shown in the table below.
