School districts need an easy to use, cost-effective video surveillance system with centralized access and management. Modern surveillance systems should be able to adapt to the needs of the district or changes in state and federal education regulations.

With Eagle Eye Networks Cloud VMS (Video Management System) you can move some or all district campuses and facilities to one central surveillance system without replacing existing camera infrastructure at any location. Schools can even add an Eagle Eye cloud system on top of their existing security system for a seamless transition to the cloud.

There are several characteristics that school boards and administrators should consider when upgrading to a cloud video surveillance system or replacing all or parts of their existing CCTV system.

The top four features of a cloud surveillance system for schools are:

Affordability
Access
Flexibility
Ease of Use

Cost-effective video surveillance for schools

Cloud video surveillance systems offer an affordable solution for school districts. With Eagle Eye Networks, schools can move to the cloud using their existing cameras and infrastructure. Schools can avoid costly camera replacements and installations. Eagle Eye Networks VMS requires minimal hardware and no on-site servers. This further reduces upfront capital expenses for setting up a new, modern surveillance system.

Even if campuses and facilities have different surveillance systems, Eagle Eye’s cloud system can bring each location and system into one cohesive system, meaning standardized access, management, and training for new users. A central, districtwide system ultimately means a more effective solution that improves security and operations.

Eagle Eye VMS is a subscription service that is easy for schools to budget for. Eagle Eye even offers discounts for subscriptions paid annually and deeper discounts for three-year and five-year subscriptions.

Remote surveillance access and management

Access to a school’s surveillance system is critical when minutes count. Cloud-based systems inherently offer remote access. Authorized Eagle Eye users and administrators can securely access live or recorded surveillance video from any camera at any location at any time.

Flexible surveillance systems for education

The needs of school campuses and districts change, and their surveillance system needs to change with them. With Eagle Eye Networks a school can change the retention period of a specific camera from seven to 90 days with the click of a button. Schools can add new cameras or even new facilities to the existing cloud management system without complicated system redesigns and hardware integrations.

Schools face changing state and federal regulations for video surveillance and need a simple solution to adapt. State lawmakers in Florida, Iowa, and most recently Mississippi have proposed new laws for video surveillance in schools. Other states, including Texas, require cameras in special education classrooms at the request of a parent.

With Eagle Eye Networks, educators can choose to store video entirely in the cloud, on-site, or a hybrid approach. All Eagle Eye cloud video is stored with triple redundancy, meaning video is always available.

Easy to use surveillance system for educators

Educators not only need a surveillance system that is easy to access, but also a surveillance system that is easy to use. Eagle Eye offers an intuitive dashboard with the ability to search video from any campus or camera. Video clips are easy to save, download, and share.

Cloud-based systems like Eagle Eye Networks receive continual and automatic system upgrades via the cloud. This means that no administrator or IT personnel will need to manage any on-site software downloads. Additionally this means that the cloud-based system will not become obsolete like a traditional NVR system. These systems at some point in their lifespan no longer receive software upgrades.

Eagle Eye Networks offers 24/7/365 live customer support, meaning that our technical support team is always available to answer any questions about the system and quickly troubleshoot any issue.

Video Search

With Eagle Eye Smart Video Search, all users are able to search their video to find the person, vehicle, or object they are looking for rather than scrub through hours of camera footage. This useful solution is part of the VMS for every user and does not require any additional hardware or software upgrades. School Resource Officers and Office Administrators can instantly see if any cameras detected activity during off hours and view, download, and share that activity.

Management tools

System managers can easily set up authorized user accounts, add or delete users, even change what locations and cameras a user can view.
