Anviz, a global provider of professional and converged intelligent security solutions, has announced the launch of its all-in-one intelligent security solution for the education industry – Anviz One – bolstering the security infrastructure of public and private educational institutions from K-12 to university with lower upfront investment, stronger analytics, and simplified management.
A one-stop system powered by a cloud infrastructure and Edge AI Server, Anviz One offers flexible and scalable options bespoke to the diverse needs of schools aiming to build a complete security system, empowering educators to establish a safe, reliable, and non-invasive learning and working environment for students and staff.
Upgrade campus security infrastructure
As a surveillance solution innovator, we aim to help schools of all levels upgrade security infrastructure"
"A campus is not only a place where students thrive academically, but also a space where they live, socialise, and recreate. However, it is also susceptible to extreme violence that can threaten their safety and well-being. As a surveillance solution innovator, we aim to help schools of all levels upgrade security infrastructure, with minimal cost and IT complexity," said David Huang, the Chief Ecosystem Officer of Anviz.
He adds, "Anviz One is the one-stop solution that features industry-pioneering products, technical support, and maintenance services, allowing educators to build complete systems that deliver the comprehensive surveillance coverage they need."
Invest in surveillance technology
According to Statista, the number of K-12 school shootings in the USA reached an unprecedented height in 2021 with 249 cases reported throughout the year, twice as many as the number in 2020 and five times the 2017 figure.
As more educational institutions seek to strengthen their on-campus security, over 90% of public schools in the US had chosen security cameras as part of their safety measures by 2020, a 30% jump from 2009, as per the data from the National Center for Education Statistics, and the issue of shootings is only one of the many reasons that lead schools to invest in surveillance technology to ensure everyone on campus are well-protected.
More applications for segmentation needs
Anviz is fitted with AI cameras adept of placing unauthorised vehicles and analysing human trends
To boost the effectiveness of campus security surveillance against external dangers, Anviz One is equipped with AI cameras capable of identifying unauthorised vehicles and analysing human movements, sending a prompt alert when a fallen person and fence climber is detected.
The access control system, which works in conjunction with video surveillance and intelligent analytics, offers faster and safer communication, while the perimeter security system maximises visibility for detecting suspicious activities.
It is worth mentioning that the management of campus parking lots has been a concern for some school clients. The parking management application provided by Anviz One improves efficiency and safety through AI detection and reminders, as well as features such as blacklisting and whitelisting.
Pre-emptive actions
For on-campus issues, Anviz One is integrated with an early warning system designed to combat incidents such as theft and bullying with efficiency and precision, helping to collect crucial evidence and empowering school guards to take pre-emptive actions to mitigate security concerns before they escalate.
In addition, it can be also linked up to the school's existing systems such as fire alarms, with the ability to send prompt alerts to school authorities and rescue responders when emergencies are spotted.
Designed for campus managers
While offering all-around protection to students and school employees, Anviz One provides a powerful and versatile student and personnel management system that verifies their identity to eliminate unauthorised entry and tracks their time and attendance.
The system offers greater benefits to security operators who often front issues including cameras
The management system helps schools create a welcoming and secure campus environment with a solution that seamlessly blends into its surroundings, minimising administration distractions for all and allowing them to focus on their central tasks.
The system offers greater benefits to security operators who frequently encounter issues including cameras without PC software support, inflexible permission management, as well as missing features such as off-duty detection, and fire alarms, facilitating quicker risk identification and response.
Not only physical security
The developers of Anviz One understand that safety measures extend beyond their physical aspects. As data security continues to be a critical concern for educational institutions, Anviz One is committed to ensuring the safety of user information and privacy, implementing strict security protocols that adhere to standards such as NDAA, OSDP, and ACP to guarantee the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive data.
The benefits of edge + cloud architecture
With Anviz One, the deployment of a whole-campus security system has never been easier. It is designed to lower costs and simplify hardware instalments, with the support for WI-FI and PoE allowing the cameras and access control devices to achieve plug-and-play connection.
The architecture of its edge server maximises compatibility with the existing systems of a school, further reducing the steps and costs for system maintenance. Other features including multi-location monitoring, centralised management, flexible access, real-time notification, and cloud data backup allow schools to build powerful and versatile security surveillance to ensure safety for all.
Security operations
In addition, Anviz also offers professional services to optimise security operations and share experiences with the campus management team to shorten their learning curve during the system deployment.
With it, small-to-medium educational institutions can quickly deploy a smart, robust security system on their premises with lower costs and technical bars that often hinder their efforts to enhance campus safety.
