Before replacing everything, understand what you already have and decide the right path forward.

Improve cameras, infrastructure, storage, AI or components where system can be modernized.
Replace equipment that is obsolete, unreliable or unsuitable for the required security objective.
Choose the Right AI Features for Schools
AI should be selected based on actual school requirements. Availability and performance depend on camera capability, placement, lighting, scene conditions, video quality, and the selected AI platform/model.
