The Council Bluffs (Iowa) Community School District, comprised of 21 grade schools, junior highs and high-schools, employs an IP-based video security system that allows personnel to monitor events of several locations simultaneously in real-time over the district’s local area network infrastructure. Meanwhile, the Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., uses video security to protect a very large private school as well as other church property. In addition to networking, church officials have burned CDs of particular incidents so that local police can view the evidence on any desktop computer.
In both cases, the images are immediately transportable across a network or by hand.
