Leading Surrey school installs high specification CCTV system 
(01/12/2006)
Sunbury Manor School has 1070 pupils and shares its grounds with a local leisure centre. Frontline Security Solutions was awarded a contract to design and install a CCTV system that would take advantage of the latest technology.
As part of that process, Frontline carried out a full site survey and then conducted a product evaluation session for the school which included demonstrations of a large range of CCTV products. This allowed the school to see how an effective CCTV system could be used on site. The final solution was an upgrade from the much smaller analogue system that was already in place at the site and sees the integration of a number of the existing cameras with the new technology.
Two Bewator Eventsys Pro 32 channel DVRs, each providing 1Tb storage, have been installed, one in each block of the school. Local cameras are cabled back to each recorder and from there are connected to the school's LAN/WAN. "By networking the cameras in this way we have made it possible for teaching and support staff to monitor the images from a number of key points," says Andy Stokes of Frontline Security Systems. "We have loaded remote viewing software onto five networked PCs, allowing authorised staff to access the system very easily."
To give clear, all-round views, five Bewator Solaris external dome cameras have been fitted to the corners of buildings. Another ten cameras - Pelco colour/mono ImagePack external models - provide views around the perimeter, focusing on entrances and through routes. A further 29 Vista vandal resistant internal dome cameras have been installed to cover corridors, the reception area, the main hall and canteens.
Allan Cottle, the school’s Assistant Headteacher said that "We have been impressed with the quality of the Bewator system and installation undertaken by Frontline Security Systems. The cameras have significantly improved security across the site.”
