About The Customer
The Kentucky School Boards Association (KSBA) was established in 1936 and represents 863 school board members from across the state. The association provides training, services, and collegiality to aid in the effort of providing the best education possible for public school students across Kentucky. KSBA has been a long-time customer of Sonitrol of Lexington, with a relationship spanning 25 years. The association had been using a video surveillance system that was not providing the necessary clarity for identification during incidents.
The Challenge
The Kentucky School Boards Association (KSBA) had been facing issues with their existing video surveillance system. The system was unable to provide clear images for identification purposes during incidents. For instance, during a minor fender bender in the parking lot, the camera, which was only 30 feet away, could not clearly capture the identifying writing on the car that struck the other car. Similarly, during a break-in, the camera, which was three feet away, could not provide a positive ID on the perpetrator. These incidents highlighted the need for an upgrade in their video surveillance capabilities.
The Solution
KSBA decided to upgrade their video surveillance capabilities by implementing the 3xLOGIC Indoor Multi-Sensor NVR, a cube style, 2MP camera that goes beyond being an IP video camera. The camera hosts VIGIL Server, allowing it to record video to the onboard SD card, with full search capabilities in VIGIL Client and the View Lite II and infinias mobile apps. The Multi-Sensor device is equipped with impact-activated audio, glass break, and motion detection along with video and audio verification of alarm activations. The Multi-Sensors are connected to an updated Sonitrol panel, providing video feeds, and glass break and audio verification for both entrances. The four non-Sonitrol monitored cameras are overseen by 3xLOGIC VIGIL Central Management software (VCM), so if any equipment issues arise, Sonitrol knows immediately and can act to proactively solve them.
Operational Impact
  • The Multi-Sensor device provides impact-activated audio, glass break, and motion detection along with video and audio verification of alarm activations.
  • The Multi-Sensors are connected to an updated Sonitrol panel, providing video feeds, and glass break and audio verification for both entrances.
  • The four non-Sonitrol monitored cameras are overseen by 3xLOGIC VIGIL Central Management software (VCM), so if any equipment issues arise, Sonitrol knows immediately and can act to proactively solve them.
  • The receptionist at the front desk has a dual screen that shows her the camera views of the approach to the building and who is coming through the door before that person reaches her desk—this creates full situational awareness and keeps the receptionist safe.
