As more schools add security video, the need for rack enclosures and a workable console becomes an essential design element. Ben Davis High School in Wayne Township, Ind., works at a security mission aimed at ensuring that all students acquire and apply knowledge, skills, processes and values to become lifelong learners and productive citizens in a diverse society through an innovative educational program of outstanding quality. There are 2,464 students and a teaching staff of 178 teachers at the high school. Ben Davis received national recognition including the National Award for Excellence in Education from the U.S. Department of Education.
So how did the high school meld security and education? Serving as the foundation for a $1.5 million electronics upgrade project, enclosure systems and consoles from Middle Atlantic Products, Riverdale, N.J., form the centerpiece of the facility’s security control room.
