St Georges High School
After a major refurbishment program to the school over recent years, the vision of the school and its governors is to provide an environment to allow the pupils grow intellectually in a safe environment. Bespoke were employed to provide a Digital CCTV Security system to replace the old VHS-based system and to expand the system to cover all areas of the school.
System Upgrade
The old system comprised of a small number of cameras covering key areas of the school, including entrances, areas of high student population and throughput, and key areas of the school susceptible to vandalism.
Digital Hard Disk Storage
The main VHS-based recording unit was replaced with a state-of -the-art 500GB Digital Hard Disk system from LookC, specialists in Digital hard disk recording and encryption. This system allowed quick access to recorded images from any workstation on the network via secure log in. Remote access capabilities also allows for web-based access again via secure log in.
Additional Cameras
A further 21 cameras were added to the system; 16 in the Music dept, and 5 cameras were added to the STEPS block in the first phase of the work. A further 5 cameras to the Art Block and 10 cameras to the ROSLA block are to be added in phase two of the project.
Total Coverage and Flexibility
The completion of the second phase of the work will offer complete coverage to all areas of the school, providing a safe and secure environment for the school, its staff and pupils. The non-VHS based system also allows for a quick response should the need for footage be required. Instead of the need to review hours and hours for tape based recordings, the software platform of the LookC System can quickly find the footage required by a simple point and click on the time line. The highly secure encryption of the system also individually stamps each video capture frame with its own unique “code” which ensures that the time displayed is the time recorded, without the threat of tampering.
