Case Study: City of Pittsboro achieves reduced vandalism and faster investigations with Avigilon high-definition surveillance

City of Pittsboro - Customer Case Study

The Pittsboro Police Department in Pittsboro, Indiana — serving about 3,000 residents — faced a rise in youth vandalism and criminal mischief, but their legacy analog cameras provided poor coverage and image quality, making investigations slow and ineffective.

PPD upgraded to an Avigilon high‑definition surveillance system (ACC with HDSM), installing an HD 180° panoramic dome at the main intersection, analog encoders for park cameras, a 30‑day NVR and ACC Mobile for remote monitoring. The result: much faster investigations, higher identification and conviction rates, the ability to recoup property‑damage costs, and recurring staff savings equivalent to an additional full‑time officer while needing fewer cameras and lower upfront cost.
