Longstanding Southern CA Community College Had No Video Surveillance
Located in beautiful Mission Viejo, California, Saddleback College offers more than 300 associate’s degrees as well as academic and occupational certificates from 190 programs. With an enrollment of 40,000 students and 1,250 full- and part-time faculty members, Saddleback has an annual operating budget of $90 million. The expansive campus has 54 buildings – encompassing 650,000 square feet – and includes an athletic stadium, golf driving range, and a childcare center.
Saddleback College had no video surveillance cameras and with growing enrollments and increasing acts of violence on college and school campuses throughout the nation, the administration and board made a commitment to deploying a video surveillance solution that would meet specific coverage goals: the Childcare Center, Community Education building and parking lot, Physical Education building, ATM machines, and general coverage.
