A Place Called Home Relies on exacqVision
Problem
A Place Called Home (APCH) is a safe haven in South Central Los Angeles where underserved youth are empowered to take direction of their lives through educational programming, counseling, and mentoring. Now serving approximately 1,200 children a year, APCH has a 15,000-square-foot facility and plans to expand further over the next two years. In a region known for its gangs, violence, and poverty, APCH has to ensure and provide a secure environment for children to be away from crime and let down their defenses. Therefore, a powerful surveillance system is very important in their day-to-day operations.
Solution
Integrator Stewart Communications recommended installing two exacqVision EL-Series hybrid servers along with a combination of IP and analog cameras. The exacqVision EL-S hybrid server provided the ideal low-cost, high-performance solution. Since the EL-S is a hybrid solution, APCH could utilize both IP and analog cameras from the same server. Furthermore, the servers required little to no maintenance. Additionally, Stewart Communications installed 53 analog cameras, along with Vivotek and ACTi IP cameras, throughout the facility. The new cameras provide complete coverage of the facility at all times. Volunteers, staff members and children now feel safe no matter where they are.
