Ben’s Ford Christian School in Bogalusa, LA, upgraded its security system with the help of Hikvision dealer Moore Than Electronics. The new IP camera solution provides complete coverage of the entire campus, ensuring the safety of students and staff.
Security Upgrade for a Safer Learning Environment
Established in 1983, Ben’s Ford Christian School hosts approximately 350 students. Recognizing the need for robust security measures, the school’s leadership collaborated with MTE to address blind spots, open spaces, and hallways. Over 70 Hikvision IP cameras, including the innovative ColorVu technology, were strategically installed to ensure 24/7 security.
Overcoming Challenges with Cutting-Edge Technology
MTE deployed Hikvision’s PanoVu panoramic lineup and strategically placed over 50 cameras, including domes, turrets, and bullets, with ColorVu technology. The advanced ColorVu system ensured vivid color video and images day and night, contributing to better deterrence and security.
The strategic placement of the 4-directional Multi-Sensor PanoVu Network Camera DS-2CD6D24FWD-IZHS in the gymnasium eliminated blind spots with its 360-degree monitoring capability. Plus, the 8 MP Hikvision Panoramic ColorVu Fixed Turret Network Camera DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL at the football field incorporated strobe lights and audio alarms for enhanced deterrence against intruders.
Local Storage and Advanced Monitoring
To address privacy concerns, a 64-channel M-Series NVR was employed for local storage of video footage. This allowed the school to avoid cloud-hosted footage of students. The M-Series NVRs, supporting true 8K streaming, enabled comprehensive monitoring through the Hikvision app on iPads, providing the coaching staff a convenient way to stream 32 video channels simultaneously.
Mark McGehee, General Manager of Ben’s Ford Christian School, thanked Hikvision, saying, “The system performs as presented and has been a valuable asset to our continuing upgrades for the security of the students, staff, and visitors to our campus.”
This successful collaboration between Ben’s Ford Christian School, Moore Than Electronics, and Hikvision resulted in a state-of-the-art security system, contributing to a safer learning environment.
