Digital Video Security Solutions: York Region District School Board And i³DVR Partner To Implement Comprehensive Security Solution
One of i³DVR International's newest products, SRX-Pro™, was recently selected by the York Region District School Board as their security solution of choice. Until recently, York has used both VCR & DVR captured recordings to secure and monitor daily activities within the school and on school grounds. After a thorough investigation, comparison, and trial of several digital video security solutions, the recommendation of the IBI Group (York Region's systems consultant) was to choose i³DVR's digital video security solution, which combines digital video surveillance with video analytics. The school board has decided to completely upgrade 27 schools in York region. This upgrade will allow the board to analyze data that will contribute to the public safety strategy that the school board has planned for the students. According to David Neale, Senior Manager of Administrative Services, it was the ability to incrementally grow into IP technology which will allow the board the ability to leverage its existing investment in CCTV equipment, while also taking advantage of this new technology, which helped them make their decision. Cameras will be used to monitor school grounds as well as the interior of each facility, a security combination that has been proven to be extremely effective in helping to provide a safe and supportive school environment.
