Hikvision’s video solutions would cater the need of school administrators of offering clear video surveillance of school entrances and exits

Strand High School offers a peaceful learning environment & has excellent academic facilities

It seems there isn't a week that goes by where some type of horrific school-related incident is in the news. This phenomenon isn't linked to any country, but the unfortunate script usually includes someone - often a student - arriving on campus intent on doing harm to fellow classmates and faculty.

While this represents the absolute worst case scenario, there is also a less dramatic variety that has recently gotten a great deal of traction: bullying.

A great deal of effort has been put into the elimination of student bullying. Much time has been spent on the best possible methods to reduce this phenomenon, and one tool that is gaining popularity is the usage of professional CCTV solutions.

South African Campus

In South Africa's Western Cape Province lies the town of Strand. Known for its beautiful beaches, the town also has excellent academic facilities, with one of these being Strand High School.

Fortunately, Strand High School offers a peaceful learning environment to provide an excellent Afrikaans school education for its student body.

Recently however, as a proactive measure, school administrators drew up plans for a security solution that would:

• make sure that school rules and regulations are adhered to
• decrease occurrences of bullying
• offer clear video surveillance of school entrances and exits
• monitor any individual entering onto, or leaving, school property
• offer clear video surveillance over athletic fields and general school grounds
