Case Study: Seneca Township High School achieves rapid incident investigations and enhanced campus safety with Avigilon

Seneca township high school implements a security Solution at the top of its class

Seneca Township High School in Illinois needed a more reliable way to protect its students and uphold a culture of safety, respect and accountability. The school’s aging, costly video system was time-consuming for administrators and the School Resource Officer and couldn’t efficiently handle multiple simultaneous incidents, so decision-makers opted to replace it with a centralized, intelligent solution.

They installed Motorola Solutions’ Avigilon platform—119 cameras including H4 Multisensor units, Avigilon Control Center with self‑learning analytics, Unusual Motion Detection and Appearance Search, plus COVID‑era tools like mask detection and occupancy counting. The upgrade cut investigation time from hours to seconds (staff report going from ~10 hours to 30 seconds), allowed staff to confirm or clear incidents in minutes (e.g., a contested vehicle incident cleared in under 15 minutes), helped locate a missing student, deterred trespassers and flagged maintenance issues—boosting campus safety and operational efficiency.
