Network
cameras are increasingly being used in schools and other educational
establishments for security surveillance and the remote monitoring
of playground areas, corridors, halls and classrooms. In the diagram,
you'll see some examples of where cameras can be put to use in
a typical campus setting.
Computer
Centers
Anywhere where expensive capital equipment is stored, or where
research needs to be carried out under secure conditions, network
cameras can be used for security surveillance purposes.
Public
Spaces
Students afraid of sexual or violent assault, especially at night,
are comforted by the presence of network cameras in the campus'
public spaces. This includes external areas such as walkways between
buildings as well as internal ones such as restaurants and school
corridors.
Broadcasting
In an educational context, cameras can be used to capture the
images of students practicing presentation or sporting techniques.
These can later be reviewed over the network and used as a tool
for improving performance. Similarly,
images of art shows, scientific experiments and so forth can be
broadcasted for the benefit of others who do not have the opportunity
to view them at first hand.
Creating
Unity
In cases where the different faculties of a university are separated
by several miles, the broadcasting of video over the network can
help overcome this sensation of separateness. Showing images of
each site at a central location helps keep students and teachers
aware of the existence of their counterparts in other faculties
and increases their sense of belonging to a wider community.
Building
Management
On a campus covering a large area, it is time saving for a janitor
to be able to check remotely whether all students and teachers
have left a building before, for example, calling the cleaners
in.
