North Kansas City School District
Stopping Threats on Bus Lot During Off-Hours
Our team partnered with North Kansas City School District to install a modern video surveillance system in the school bus lot, reducing theft and vandalism and saving the district thousands in damages.
The Challenge
After investing a significant amount of money on Thomas Built buses from Midwest Bus Sales, the North Kansas City School District (NKCSD) experienced break-ins, catalytic converter theft, and bus destruction in their lot during off-hours.
The Solution
Using Avigilon’s combination of state-of-the-art hardware and object classification plug-ins via the ACC7 interface, ADS developed a solution using 16 Avigilon analytic cameras with built-in rules that trigger events detecting true threats to their facility. To keep the site safe, ADS went a step further and provided video monitoring during off-peak hours. ADS’ real-time interaction via remote voice down is a key feature that has proven to be a game changer. If a threat reaches the site after hours, ADS’ solution not only contacts local law enforcement, but also allows their monitoring staff to initiate voice down engagement with the trespassers through the IP speaker system provided by ADS.
The Result
Thanks to the new system, many attempts to harm NKCSD property have been prevented – saving thousands in damages. The increase in asset protection around the site has provided NKCSD greater peace-of-mind for years to come.
“We depend on our ADS system to keep our fleet of buses and premises safe. It does everything as advertised!”
