The surveillance camera installation project at St. Theresa Educational Institution aimed to enhance security measures, ensure student and staff safety, and protect school assets through the implementation of a comprehensive surveillance system. The project involved assessing security needs, designing an optimal camera layout, procuring high-quality equipment, and installing and configuring cameras and supporting infrastructure.
What did Loop Technologies do
The project scope included the following key activities:
Security Assessment: Conducted a comprehensive assessment to identify critical areas requiring surveillance coverage.
Design and Planning: Collaboratively designed a surveillance system layout, considering camera types, locations, angles, and storage requirements.
Procurement: Sourced high-quality cameras, Digital video recorders (DVRs), video management software, and supporting equipment. We used 2 sets of cameras; 8 channel analog cameras, and 16 channel IP cameras. An 8 channel DVRs , and a 16 channel NVRs was procured to support the cameras. We also got a power supply to power up the system.Â
Installation and Configuration: Installed and configured cameras, DVRs, and associated infrastructure for optimal coverage and integration with the existing network. We used coaxial cables with cable trunks and a 8-channel power unit, to install the analog cameras. Furthermore, we used a CAT 6E cables and a 16 channel NVR to install the IP cameras, and using Power Over Internet (POI) we could power up the cameras. We mounted a flat-screen TV for viewing.
Testing and Quality Assurance: Conducted thorough testing to ensure proper functioning and clear video footage.
Training: Provided training to school staff on system operation, monitoring, and basic maintenance.
