Face Recognition & AI

The clunky security cameras of the 20^th century are gone. Now, surveillance cameras are sleeker, smarter, and virtually tamperproof. Powered by AI (artificial intelligence), smart cameras recognize faces, license plates, and other details necessary for apprehending a suspect. If a potential intruder sees these cameras mounted outside and inside the school, they’ll think twice about committing a crime.

High-Definition Images

You captured them on tape, but you can’t see who they are. That’s the problem with low-quality security cameras. Low-resolution images are not helpful in identifying a suspect. Fortunately, the latest smart cameras record everything in high definition with incredible detail. Sharper images mean it is very unlikely that a perpetrator will get off unscathed. Their face is recorded with crystal clear clarity.

Night Vision

Is the crime happening at night? No problem. Smart cameras with night vision record the incident just as if it was happening in the day. You don’t need to worry about switching the camera over to night vision, either. Most models have a built-in infrared cut filter that enables and disables the infrared technology automatically based on lighting conditions. No matter how dark it is, security cameras see clearly at night and capture high-resolution images and videos.

Activity Notifications

Bet your old security camera can’t do this! Because smart surveillance cameras are powered by artificial intelligence, they recognize a real problem on your property. For instance, they tell the difference between an animal and a human. If there is any unusual activity happening, you’ll receive an alert by text or email. You’ll remain updated on real-time events.

Remote Access and Mobile Control

Did you get an alert? There’s no need to rush to the school or send the authorities. Instead, use your camera’s remote access features to scan the property. Pan, tilt, and zoom the camera for better viewing. This function is useful when school is out or in session. Your remote-controlled camera can scan its entire field if you are concerned about anything suspicious on our property.

Two-Way Audio

When intruders know someone is behind the camera, they are more likely to leave the premises. With the two-way audio feature, you can communicate with the individual. Whether it’s an apparent threat or a visitor to the school, your camera’s two-way audio system helps you effectively vet anyone who wants to enter your property. Once the coast is clear, use your access control system to unlock the door for authorized entry.
