Axis cameras and Milestone IP video software secure Utah universities

Utah State University and Salt Lake Community College Colleges, have opted for an IP solution to optimize the security of their campuses and ensure that the analog cameras they already had deployed were integrated into this infrastructure.

The open IP video management platform (VMS) of Milestone is helping Utah universities become safe centers of education.

The latest technological innovations developed for the security environment are optimizing processes and minimizing losses in commercial areas such as stores, cafeterias and rooms with vending machines. Compared to traditional analog video systems, IP network solutions are much more versatile and profitable. Besides, allow you to take advantage of investments made with analog cameras by connecting to low-cost video encoders.

Por estas razones, Utah State Universities (USU) y Salt Lake Community College (SLCC) They decided to update their infrastructure, based on analog solutions located independently in different buildings on both campuses, since they limited its display functions.

They needed a system that would allow them to have centralized security, that could be managed from a single control center located in each of the teaching centers.

In partnership with systems integrator Stone Security, These universities decided to implement an open platform based on an IP solution built with Milestone XProtect VMS and network cameras from Axis Communications. The Utah State University center has 435 cameras deployed throughout its different headquarters, distributed in all counties of the state of Utah, while Salt Lake Community College has 235 teams.

At the end of 2015, USU had already deployed Milestone XProtect Corpotate software with Federated Architecture in nine of its locations., with the Logan campus as its nerve center. For your part, SLCC university has opted for Axis camera standardization.

Both educational entities use Axis encoders to integrate the analog cameras they already had deployed and integrate them into Milestone's IP video platform. SLCC currently has 180 cameras of this type integrated. Five of Utah's seven major universities are using a security solution based on Milestone software and Axis cameras.

Centralized video monitoring

With the adoption of the Milestone platform, have been able to centralize video monitoring and improve coordination with campus security teams. This has allowed a reduction in response time when an incident occurs and mitigates the theft of valuables from students and prevents theft in libraries..

Axis Easy Cameras provide high-resolution images with wide coverage through seamless integration with Milestone VMS.

USU has also leveraged this infrastructure to extend it beyond traditional security functions.. The university has a farm where professors and students conduct research on cows and goats.. With this solution they can carry out their studies and monitor them in real time.
