Case Study: University of Sydney achieves 25% crime reduction and lower installation costs with Avigilon high-definition surveillance system

University of Sydney - Customer Case Study

The University of Sydney, a multi-campus institution with tens of thousands of students and staff spread across six campuses and extensive open and indoor areas, needed a campus-wide security plan to create a safe, open learning environment and to modernize aging analog systems that left critical coverage gaps.

The university deployed Avigilon’s high-definition surveillance—100 HD cameras (1–16 MP), HD 360° domes, 45+ analog video encoders and Avigilon Control Center software—monitored 24/7 from a central control room and integrated with access control and alarms. This reduced the number of cameras and infrastructure needs, lowered installation and maintenance costs, sped investigations from days to minutes, and helped cut crime by 25% year‑over‑year.
