Keep All Kids Safe

Sadly, it seems every week there is another attack on kids at schools and colleges

Schools and colleges are wisely installing more and more CCTVs

But that means more and more checking by over-worked IT staff

Common CCTV Problems in Schools

  • Camera Not Turning On

    Camera suddenly won't power up, was working fine yesterday but offline now

    Feels like whack-a-mole

  • Poor Image Quality

    Was clear last week, now blurry and fuzzy

    Common causes:

       * Bird droppings

       * Dirt

       * Dust

       * Leaves

       * Scratches

       * Hail

  • Motion Detection Stops Working

    Missed events or excessive false alarms due to ineffective motion detection

  • Night Vision Problems

    Poor night vision performance, especially in parking lots, bicycle lots, and parks

  • Infrared Problems

    Malfunctioning IR LEDs or faulty IR cut filters impair night vision

  • Intermittent Connections

    Cameras disconnect and reconnect, missing critical events

  • Periodic Network Problems

    Weak Wi-Fi or network congestion causes intermittent connections

  • Signal Interference

    Electronic devices or obstructions interfere with wireless signals

  • Bandwidth Problems

    Insufficient bandwidth causes video streams to freeze or lag

School System in New Hampshire

Six of the 166 CCTVs in the parking lots would stop working for two to three minutes, 10 times a day

Argent engineers analyzed the outages from the central Argent log

They discovered the outages coincided with school bus arrivals and departures

The six errant devices were connected by a microwave link

Ten times a day, a school bus would just happen to be in the perfect place to block the link

Solution: Move the microwave transmitter in the parking lot four feet higher on the lamp pole



Sport Stadium in Florida

Inability to identify working (and not working) devices out of pool of 1,320 CCTVs

Solution: In the NOC Argent provided a 62-inch monitor for free

The Argent screen displays all errant devices

Within 60 minutes, the seven bad CCTVs were identified

By replacing these seven, all problems were solved
