London-wide IP Video for Schools

CCTV surveillance using IndigoVision's IP Video technology is being made available to London's schools via the London Grid for Learning's (LGfL) existing IT network. The LGfL was established in June 2000 to provide capital-wide broadband internet services to London's 33 Local Education Authorities (LEA). The network, supplied by Synetrix, went live in 2002 and now covers over 90% of schools in London.

IndigoVision's IP Video technology will allow any participating school to be monitored 24-hours a day, via the central control room for the project which is located in the London Borough of Bromley. The control room uses ‘Control Center', IndigoVision's enterprise video and alarm management software, which enables the security staff to control and view live and recorded video from any of the cameras at any of the schools. IndigoVision has supplied a complete end to end solution which provides for visual verification of alarms over IP and is fully compliant with BS8418. The consultants for the project, Redbridge CCTV Ltd, has set up an additional central control room in London to monitor commercial sites and other schools outside of the LGfL.

A number of pilot schools have been successfully completed, which are monitored centrally at Bromley and locally within each school.
