The system comprises more than 40 cameras – a mixture of Bosch Dinion and Flexidomes – installed at strategic points around the school including entry/exit points, corridors and cloakrooms.
Images from each camera are transmitted over the school’s own local network and stored digitally on one of three Bosch Divar digital recorders.
All ancillaries including Bosch LCD monitors and keyboards are provided, as well as operational software and storage management software. Authorised staff are able to monitor and review images from a local monitoring suite within the school’s office.
Tranter chose the technology because of its reliability and performance. Said Leigh Tranter: “Although slightly more expensive than other products on the market, we were certain of its benefits, and managed to convince the school management that quality counts.”
Flexidome cameras use 15-bit imaging technology – the same technology as in Dinion cameras – to exploit the full potential of imaging chips.
Tranter said the Bilinx feature that enables cameras to be set-up remotely “without having to keep going up and down a ladder saved us considerable time on site, which translates into a more efficient service.”
