In recent years, concerns around school safety have continued to rise, leaving parents and educators in search of ways to effectively protect their students. With school shootings increasing by a staggering 124% from 2020-2021 to 2021-2022, and school-related crimes costing victims over $600 million in expenses and property loss, the growing anxiety surrounding the issue of safety is more than justified.  

AI Video Analytics, with its advanced video monitoring capabilities, offers a proactive solution to these alarming trends, helping schools to establish safer environments where students can focus on learning without fear.  

For a deeper dive into its potential, we recently welcomed Dr. Wayne Porter, Headmaster and Superintendent of Tempe Preparatory Academy to our webinar, Securing Schools with AI Video Analytics: An Interactive Case Study, for a conversation with us and our partners at IVEDA to discuss how our AI-led solutions enhanced his school’s safety strategy.

How is AI reshaping school security strategies?

As an AI and IoT subject matter expert with over 30 years of experience, Claro Enterprise Solutions’ Director of IoT Product Management, Patrick Verdugo, outlines use cases where AI Video Analytics’ detection features address the unique challenges schools face. These institutions are constantly pressured to bolster their security in effective and efficient ways that traditional surveillance systems often fall short of due to the sheer volume of footage that needs to be analyzed in real-time.  

This is where AI Video Analytics comes in. From visible weapons detection on school grounds to sensors that can discern vape smoke and sounds of aggression that often indicate acts of bullying, our solution prioritizes student well-being and empowers administrators to enhance overall security efforts with AI-backed vigilance.  

Integration made simple

AI Video Analytics integrates seamlessly into existing video monitoring systems, eliminating the need for expensive proprietary camera systems, automatically increasing visibility and awareness in areas that previously required manual human oversight. It is designed to provide 24/7 visualization and insight into the activities taking place on school grounds so that when a potential threat or incident is detected, real-time alerts increase mitigation and prevention opportunities.  

Because this solution is driven by AI-enhanced features, this technology allows administrators to amplify their security radius, enhancing the efficiency of current school safety protocols.

Getting more for your investment with AI-enhanced video monitoring

Understanding that many schools face unavoidable budgetary constraints, Claro Enterprise Solutions collaborated with IVEDA to develop a technology that wouldn’t break the bank. A significant advantage of AI Video Analytics is its compatibility with existing surveillance infrastructure, alarms, and access control systems already in place, and its ability to connect to any repository through open API, whether public, private, or local databases. What’s even more beneficial is that its implementation does not require schools to purchase additional bandwidth or licensing to function effectively.  

Additionally, administrators have control over camera designation and can determine who can receive certain alerts and notifications, making AI Video Analytics as cost-effective as it is scalable.  

When asked about the driving factors behind installing AI Video Analytics into his school security, Dr. Porter stated, “Our school sits on a small, open campus that is outdoors in Arizona. Our students transition outside from building to building, and our campus is wide open, anyone can come on at any time. So, our concern was how do we keep our school safe on a campus that is so wide open? When AI Video Analytics was presented to us, it was such a great option because it tied into the cameras we already had. We were able to go from having teachers physically monitoring our campus to having full-time, 24/7 visualization of the campus through an AI system.”

Protecting what matters

The overall goal of this technology is to protect students, including their right to privacy. AI Video Analytics ensures that privacy is maintained by adhering to compliance regulations enforced in both the United States and Europe, including GDPR. It does not store images and instead limits search parameters to specific targets, blurring the faces of others captured on screen.  

To ensure the highest standard of safety, AI Video Analytics is certified by the Department of Homeland Security under the Safety Act.  Its certification is backed by over 20 years of experience and expertise ensuring top-tier security standards that prioritize the well-being of students and help to cultivate a safer, smarter environment for them to learn.

AI Video Analytics: Redefining school safety

AI Video Analytics is changing the way we approach school safety and the unique challenges that come with it. From seamless integration into existing systems to enhanced visibility and rapid response capabilities, this cost-effective technology covers all your security bases while accounting for budgetary constraints. As Dr. Porter puts it, “AI Video Analytics doesn’t blink, and it doesn’t look away, making it well worth the cost. Besides, at the end of the day, you can’t put a price on human life.”
