A
s one of the largest school districts
in California, the Anaheim Union
High School District (AUHSD) recently
installed its first district-wide
IP video surveillance system. Connected to five
Orange County police departments, the system is
designed to prevent petty crime and protect lives
during an active shooter scenario.
Before the upgrade, AUHSD lacked a centralized
video security system that would allow
administrators to prevent, monitor and investigate
incidents on campuses. Ongoing occurrences
of theft and vandalism were financially
impacting the district. In addition, parents
and staff members were increasingly concerned
about active shooter incidents happening at
other schools across the country.

When an incident occurs, administrators can
quickly access the VMS and review the security
footage to investigate the event. The use
of Hanwha cameras has helped identify when
and where vandalism and theft are occurring
on campuses. With proper evidence, restitution
may be possible.
" As we were installing cameras, the schools
were getting images of vandalism and even
images of golf carts being stolen, " says Jason
Beardsley, vice president of the Security Division
of HCI Systems, an Ontario, Calif.-based
systems integrator that installed the security
system. " It was phenomenal to see how many
issues the system recorded, which will help the
district to combat vandalism and theft. "
