EnGenius Technologies Inc. has unveiled a significant security and network overhaul at Crossroads Church in Rowlett, Texas. The project saw the church's premises modernised with the installation of EnGenius AI cameras, multigigabit switches, and Wi-Fi 7 access points.
This comprehensive update ensures enhanced visibility across the 30,000-square-foot building and 15-acre campus, thereby improving safety for staff, volunteers, and visitors.
Enhanced security to support growing needs
The older NVR-based system was low in eliminating blind spots and lacked the vital clarity and storage
Crossroads Church, accommodating over 1,200 members and offering a range of activities such as worship services and daycare, experienced challenges with its outdated surveillance system.
The older NVR-based system was insufficient in eliminating blind spots and lacked necessary clarity and storage for effective monitoring. The church’s Executive Pastor highlighted the need for reliable monitoring, especially for families trusting the church with their children, noting that the previous system was inadequate.
Implementation of a unified technology solution
Partnering with Smart Technology Solutions, Crossroads Church adopted a full-scale update revolving around EnGenius cloud-managed technology. The setup includes:
- 57 EnGenius ECC100 AI surveillance cameras offering thorough indoor and outdoor surveillance.
- Multi-gig ECS2552FP and ECS2528FP switches enabling high-capacity video and supporting campus-wide online activities.
- 12 EnGenius ECW536 Wi-Fi 7 access points ensuring robust wireless connectivity for internal operations.
- A comprehensive cloud dashboard for centralised management and real-time monitoring.
The Lead Pastor praised the increased visibility, stating that the church now has the capacity to identify and respond immediately if situations arise on their property.
Innovative AI to reshape campus security
Introducing AI analytics features such as event detection and vehicle tracking, Crossroads Church is exploring EnGenius AI’s potential for recognising human activity and monitoring trends, which further enhances their security capabilities.
This smart interpretation reduces false alerts and speeds up investigations by focusing only on relevant incidents. A description-based search functionality simplifies video review, enabling easy footage retrieval for specific search terms, like "person in a red hoodie with a black backpack".
Key features of EnGenius ECC100 cameras
The ECC100 AI cameras include several advanced parts like 5MP HDR clarity from a Sony Starvis sensor
The ECC100 AI cameras include several advanced features, such as 5MP HDR clarity from a Sony Starvis sensor for clear visuals, ultra-wide coverage, onboard storage with 256GB capacity for continuous monitoring, and durable construction for various external conditions.
The cameras also support seamless cloud access and mobile management.
A new standard in smart surveillance
The new AI Cloud Surveillance Solution and ECC100 AI Camera elevate intelligent security capabilities, a point highlighted by Roger Liu, Executive Vice President at EnGenius Technologies.
Liu noted the system's ability to assess contextual information to issue preventative alerts, a game-changer in addressing potential security risks before they escalate.

EnGenius Technologies Inc., a pioneer in advanced connectivity and cloud-managed networking solutions, today announced that Crossroads Church in Rowlett, Texas, has completed a comprehensive security and network modernisation project using EnGenius AI cameras, multigigabit switches, and Wi-Fi 7 access points.
The upgrade delivers complete visibility across the church’s 30,000-square-foot facility and 15-acre campus, providing staff, volunteers, and families with unprecedented peace of mind.
Rapid growth drives need for enhanced safety
Serving more than 1,200 members and hosting daily activities including worship services, youth programs, daycare, and community outreach, Crossroads Church faced increasing challenges with its aging surveillance system. The church’s legacy NVR-based surveillance system left numerous blind spots and lacked the clarity, storage, and analytics needed to support a large, active campus.
“With ministry happening every day and families trusting us with their children, we needed to be sure we could clearly monitor every part of our campus,” said the church’s Executive Pastor. “Our previous system simply couldn’t keep up.”
A unified EnGenius solution
Crossroads Church partnered with Smart Technology Solutions to implement a full-scale modernisation built on EnGenius cloud-managed technology. The deployment includes:
- 57 EnGenius ECC100 AI surveillance cameras for complete indoor, outdoor, and parking-lot coverage
- Multi-gig EnGenius ECS2552FP and ECS2528FP switches supporting high-capacity video, livestreaming, and campus-wide traffic
- 12 EnGenius ECW536 Wi-Fi 7 access points providing fast and reliable wireless connectivity for staff, classrooms, and production teams
- A single-pane-of-glass cloud dashboard delivering centralised management, real-time monitoring, and instant event review
“For the first time, we have total visibility,” said the Lead Pastor. “If something happens anywhere on our property, we can see it, isolate it, and respond immediately. That level of clarity is invaluable.”
AI features unlock the future of campus security
The church has begun using contextual AI analytics, including event detection, vehicle tracking, and customisable alerts.
Over time, leadership plans to expand their use of EnGenius AI capabilities to detect human activity, interpret complex scenarios, analyse movement trends, and enhance after-hours oversight — further improving campus safety.
Meet the AI that turns video into insight
Ever spent hours scrubbing through video just to find one five-second moment? With EnGenius Cloud AI, those days are over. It eliminates the biggest headaches of traditional surveillance—false alerts, slow investigations, and endless manual review—by delivering real-time intelligence and natural language search. Instead of generic motion notifications, the system interprets what it sees, recognising behaviours with context so the team receives fewer false alarms and earlier warnings when something seems off.
And when it’s time to find footage, there’s no need to dig through timelines—simply enter a description like “person in a red hoodie with a black backpack,” and the system instantly retrieves the precise clips from any camera or location. This smarter, context-aware approach helps staff work faster, respond with confidence, and stay focused on what matters most. More than a camera system, it’s a smart security assistant that makes investigations faster, simpler, and far more effective.

The next era of intelligent surveillance
With the launch of its AI Cloud Surveillance Solution and ECC100 AI Camera, EnGenius once again sets a new benchmark for intelligent security—empowering businesses to stay one step ahead with smarter, faster, and more reliable protection.
“What truly sets our system apart is its ability to analyse contextual sequences rather than just single-frame images, enabling preventive alerts before incidents occur,” said Roger Liu, Executive Vice President at EnGenius Technologies. “Whether it’s spotting loitering before theft, flagging escalating conflicts, or identifying fatigued workers on a factory floor, our system helps businesses act before incidents escalate.”
