Challenge
Three K-12 campuses operated aging analog DVR systems — some over 12 years old — with no remote access, degraded image quality, and hardware failures on multiple units. Safe Schools funding requirements created a compliance deadline, and the district needed NDAA-certified equipment to qualify for available grant funding. Footage was not accessible to school resource officers working off-campus.
Solution
IDS CCTV supplied 80 Hanwha Wisenet NDAA-certified cameras across all three campuses — vandal dome models for interior hallways and classrooms, IR bullet cameras for exterior perimeters and parking, and low-profile domes for cafeterias and gyms. Five 16-channel NVRs provide per-campus recording with 60-day retention. Wisenet WAVE VMS gives the district security office a single real-time dashboard.
Results
- 80 NDAA §889-compliant Hanwha Wisenet cameras across 3 campuses
- Full perimeter, parking, entry, and interior coverage at every school
- 60-day video retention with secure NVR storage per campus
- Centralized WAVE VMS access for district security administrator
