China School Adds Video Analytics To Improve Access Control, Prevent Theft

  • Jan 21, 2008

ioimage recently announced that the Shi Jia Zhuang experimental high school in China has successfully completed installation of ioimage’s video surveillance system to protect it’s 2,500 students, supervise the schools entrance and prevent theft.

The Shi Jia Zhuang School Campus covers an area of 45 acres and houses 13 educational buildings serving to 2,500 students and 170 teachers. ioimage’s video analytics was installed to ensure the safety of the students, to control the entrance of individuals to the school campus and to prevent theft of expensive equipment.

The school added ioimage’s analytics to existing CCTV cameras and enhanced its security with perimeter and tripwire detection. Since the installation was completed, the number of security personnel has been reduced, and no incidents of unauthorized entrance or exit have been registered.

“We found the system extremely easy to install and operate. ioimage’s unique appliance architecture eliminated the need for expensive centralized PC based processing and dramatically simplifies the solution,” said a representative from He Bei Hua Zhan information Ltd., the system integrator that installed the system. “We checked several systems and found that ioimage outperformed them all. As an advanced secure reliable and effective system with flexible expansion capabilities, ioimage can become a primary vendor of school security.”

“Some of the students tried to cross the fence to go out. Once any accident happens outside, the school has to bear responsibility and it ruins the school’s reputation,” said the Security Officer of Shi Jia Zhuang experimental school. “Also, the school has to manage the risk of theft of computers and expensive laboratory equipment. Finally, we have to prevent unwanted persons from entering the school.”

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
