Trinity International College, a leading higher education institution in Nepal, has transformed its campus operations by adopting AIoT (AI-powered Internet of Things) technologies. The college, which serves over 25,000 students, has modernized its approach to both education and administration, creating a more efficient and engaging learning environment.

Trinity International College offers higher secondary programs like Cambridge A Levels, Nepal’s two-year higher secondary education program, NEB +2, and various undergraduate degrees. With a stated mission to ‘be a leading college for academic excellent that will be the first choice of students in Nepal’, Trinity wanted to better prepare students for competitive careers. For the teachers, that meant enhancing their teaching methods and creating more interactive learning experiences. They were particularly interested in tools that would allow them to incorporate visual content, interactive exercises, and collaborative activities into daily lessons.

The institution also sought to modernize its approach to attendance and campus access management. Traditional paper-based systems were time-consuming and required significant faculty involvement. Teachers spent valuable classroom time collecting attendance, while administrators struggled to obtain timely information about student participation patterns.

Trinity's leadership envisioned creating a data-driven campus environment where AIoT technologies would support both enhanced educational delivery and strategic decision-making. They wanted a smart ecosystem that would maintain the college's reputation for academic excellence which would also improve operational efficiency for serving such a large student population.

Transforming classroom experience with interactive learning

In create more interactive learning experiences, Trinity has worked with system integrator National Computer World to install 77 86-inch 4K Interactive Displays (DS-D5C86RB/B) across the academic areas. Designed to replace traditional blackboards and projectors, these intelligent screens enable teachers to present multimedia content, provide real-time annotations, and facilitate interactive group activities that engage students more effectively. The dual Android and Windows operating systems enable educators to run multiple teaching apps simultaneously, making complex concepts easier to understand.

The new interactive displays have delivered immediate improvements in classroom engagement and teaching effectiveness. Teachers report that they have fundamentally improved their ability to deliver compelling lessons. Multimedia content—and the ability to make real-time annotations—make complex subjects more accessible. Interactive features, meanwhile, encourage collaborative learning and active student participation. The results are clear: when lessons incorporate visual and interactive elements, students demonstrate increased attention during classes—and better retention away from them.

Streamlined access and automated attendance reporting

For access control, Trinity has installed six Pro Swing Barriers (DS-K3B530X) at the main entrance. Each is equipped with dual Face Recognition Terminals (DS-K1T673DX) which deliver sub-0.2-second processing times and over 99% accuracy rates. Throughout campus facilities, 77 additional Facial Recognition Terminals (DS-K1T342EFWX) have been placed outside classrooms, laboratories, and staff areas.

This system ensures that only authorized personnel can access specific rooms and facilities while automatically capturing real-time attendance information. Administrative efficiency also has improved dramatically, thanks to automated attendance calculation. The platform generates comprehensive attendance reports automatically, eliminating manual processes that previously consumed significant amounts of staff time and resources.

A safer learning environment

The new campus security infrastructure has also been installed. This includes over 200 smart cameras (DS-2CD3141G2-LIU, DS-2CD1323G2-ISU, DS-2CD3041G2E-I) covering common areas such as cafeterias and recreational spaces. All cameras connect to a Network Video Recorder (DS-9664NI-M16). This video security system creates a safer educational environment for students and staff while enabling rapid response capabilities for any incidents that might occur.

Centralized management: A smarter way to run a campus

The entire system operates through the HikCentral Professional platform, providing unified management of video security, attendance systems, access control, and interactive panels. This centralized approach eliminates the complexity of managing multiple separate systems. Administrators can monitor and control all devices from a single, intuitive interface that provides real-time status updates and comprehensive reporting capabilities.

The centralized management system provides administrators with unprecedented operational visibility into campus activities. Detailed analytics on attendance trends, access patterns, security incidents, and system performance metrics enhance decision-making capabilities. This data-driven approach enables the management team to identify issues early, optimize resource allocation, and implement targeted interventions when needed.

Recognizing the success of this first phase, Trinity International College now plans to expand its smart campus infrastructure to include additional buildings within the premises. Their experience shows that AIoT technologies don’t just improve operations—they enhance the ability of colleges to deliver exceptional education and prepare for future innovation in an increasingly digital world.
