Challenges
Safeguarding a modern 6-storey building is not an easy task. Monitoring the safety of students and school staff at all times is of utmost importance. Access control must be in place in order to regulate the flow of people and vehicles entering and leaving the school premises.
In terms of classroom optimisation, several aspects must be achieved such as automatic attendance, behaviour analysis, usage of interactive whiteboards for collaboration, and more. Integration with third-party software and hardware is also difficult and challenging to accomplish.

Solution
In order to create a secure and innovative learning environment and provide intelligent and real-time learning experience to its students, Link School of Business partnered up with Dahua and deployed the Dahua Smart Education Solution around its campus.
ANPR access cameras and bracket cameras were set up at the parking lot of the school to automatically recognise authorised vehicles and monitor the area 24/7.

Face recognition terminals
At the entrance, intelligent turnstiles with face recognition terminals were installed to instantly recognise authorised people and efficiently streamline access to the building.
In common areas such as hallways, lobbies and stairways, 3MP behaviour cameras equipped with video metadata algorithms were strategically installed to accurately recognise students’ non-recurring activities to help prevent accidents (e.g., fall) from happening. It can also predict crowd formation and conflicts among students in real time.
