Delivering the Whole Package: Verkada's camera systems provide ease of use, scalability, integration with environmental monitors and remote access.

As schools wind down for the year, there’s a unique opportunity to start planning for the future. The holiday break is the perfect window to consider new installations and upgrades, especially for critical systems like CCTV. CityWatch Security’s partnership with Verkada offers schools an intelligent, scalable security solution that can be seamlessly integrated during this downtime, ensuring a more secure campus for the new year. Here’s why the end of year holidays are an ideal time to install Verkada CCTV systems on educational sites.

1. Minimal Disruption to Daily School Operations: Installing a CCTV system during regular school days can be challenging. Between bustling hallways, ongoing classes, and student activities, it’s tough to find the right time for a major infrastructure project. However, with schools empty over the holidays, installation teams can work efficiently without interrupting the daily flow of school life.

Verkada’s cameras and Command platform can be fully set up without impacting teaching schedules or student routines, making the holiday period ideal for a smooth, uninterrupted installation process.

2. Start the New Year with Enhanced Security: The new year often brings new challenges and heightened security concerns, especially in educational environments. By setting up the CCTV system over the holiday break, schools can ensure they’re ready to start the term with state-of-the-art, centralised security in place. Verkada’s AI-powered analytics can help schools instantly track incidents, view historical footage across multiple campuses, and ensure compliance with Australia’s privacy standards – all from day one of the new term.

With AI-powered searches that allow administrators to easily identify individuals or track movements, schools can respond quickly to any incident. Having this advanced system in place before the new year starts provides peace of mind to faculty, parents, and students alike.

3. Seamless Scalability for Growing School Security Needs: Schools evolve over time, often expanding campuses or adding new facilities. Verkada’s scalable system is perfect for adapting to these growing needs. Since each camera requires minimal bandwidth, you can add more cameras over time without overloading your network.

Installing Verkada’s CCTV system during the holidays allows schools to scale up security without impacting network performance. The Command platform offers a centralised view of all cameras across multiple sites, making it easy to monitor activity even as new buildings or facilities are added in the future. This scalability helps schools stay secure without the need for major overhauls as they grow.
