Dean Drako, founder and CEO of the cloud-based video surveillance company, Eagle Eye Networks, is launching a $1 million grant program for schools to cover the cost of real-time video monitoring technologies.
The move coincides with Eagle Eye Networks’ launch of a new product that incorporates the company’s cloud-based video monitoring.
“With the video feed, which lags only by a second or two, first responders could monitor the location of people trapped when there’s a gunman in the building or during a fire or other event. A corresponding map in the app would give them insight to where things are in a building to help them plan an evacuation or other response.”
Eagle Eye’s video technologies are already being used by Fairfield Community School District, which has 138 cameras to cover four campuses and roughly 2,100 students, and Brentwood Christian School, which has about 800 students. And the equipment is used to monitor Capital Factory, as well.
