Wakefield Grammar School Foundation Chooses a Complete Johnson Controls Surveillance Package

Problem

Queen Elizabeth Grammar School (QEGS) and Wakefield Girls’ High School (WGHS) have been enriching the lives of their students from West and South Yorkshire, England, for hundreds of years. Today, the schools form a modern educational hub on one large campus of about 40 buildings of varying sizes. A 19-person governing body and 500-person teaching and support staff aim to ensure that all 2,100 pupils can enjoy a distinguished education. Years ago, Wakefield Grammar School Foundation took steps to secure the interiors of its buildings with localized access control at its doors. More recently, the governing board at the school was concerned that the perimeter of the campus was unsecured and wanted to put a CCTV system in place to add an extra layer of security.

Solution

Integrator Reflex Systems determined that exacqVision VMS software, along with exacqVision network video recorders (NVRs) with pre-installed Kantech Onboard access control software, and 15 Illustra high-resolution IP cameras would be the best solution for WGHS to secure the campus’s perimeter. With exacqVision EasyConnect, WGSF could automatically address and configure the cameras for fast installation. If a network outage were to occur, exacqVision will automatically reconnect to the cameras.
