Case Study: Gateway Technical College achieves improved campus safety and reduced crime with Axis Communications IP cameras

Gateway Technical College reinforces zero tolerance policy with Axis IP cameras

Gateway Technical College in Wisconsin faced mounting student safety concerns—poorly lit lots, limited patrols and aging, standalone analog cameras—that left many students feeling unsafe. The college engaged Axis Communications (with integrator Technology Resource Advisors and partners Firetide and Milestone) to install a campus‑wide network surveillance solution using Axis IP cameras (including AXIS P3344‑V, P3346‑V, P3304‑V, AXIS 212, AXIS Q6034‑E and AXIS P13 series) integrated with Milestone XProtect for high‑definition video and audio coverage.

Axis Communications’ IP system (deployed by TRA) centralized monitoring, enabled remote access and smart search, and extended legacy cameras with Axis encoders; as a result incidents of theft, physical violence and vandalism fell significantly. Measurable outcomes include recovery of a stolen laptop after video ID, an alleged assault video forwarded to police within 20 minutes leading to next‑day apprehension, improved upkeep of renovated spaces, and student surveys reporting a stronger sense of safety and security.
