Axis video products
increase safety at Dutch school

following a burglary one night. The
video recording was triggered by the
camera's motion detection feature. |
Dutch Christiaan Huygensschool in
Barneveld, The Netherlands, wanted a
surveillance solution that would help it
oversee accidents and student behavior, as
well as incidents of vandalism during
off-hours. Among the key areas for
surveillance were the narrow indoor and
outdoor passageways that connected the
school's three buildings.
After investigating its options, the
school decided to implement in January 2004
an IP-based security system from Digiwatch,
an Axis Solution Partner. The solution
included the installation of two AXIS
2120 Network Cameras, which have
built-in motion detection, and four AXIS
2401+ Video Servers, which transform
video from analog cameras into digital form.
According to A. Vermeer, Vice-Principle
and Head of Information and Communication
Technology, the school's main reasons for
selecting the IP-Surveillance solution were:
- flexibility
- quality
- cost-efficiency
"Flexibility is highly appreciated
for the simple fact that the caretaker and I
are able to access the system from different
locations in the building, with different
access rights and password-protected
areas," Mr. Vermeer said. He explained
that while a number of people have access to
real-time images, access to stored and
recorded images is limited to a few.
