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

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.”
