Cameras
The placement of 2475 fixed and PTZ optical cameras , managed by CathexisVision, helps protect students, staff and visitors, and secure valuables, stock, equipment and property. From parking lots and perimeters, to corridors and pathways, all areas of a campus can be secured effectively. The nine camera brands used in this installation are managed with ease, and CathexisVision accommodates legacy analog cameras while supporting potential upgrades.
Control Room

The control rooms include multiple CathexisVision client operator stations, video walls with automated switching to relevant camera views on events, alarm management gateways, and interactive maps.
