Case Study: Canton High School achieves a safer, more secure campus with Axis Communications video servers

Mississippi high school improves safety and security with Axis video servers

Canton High School in Canton, Mississippi, wanted to prevent crisis situations and create a safer, more productive environment for students and staff without adding major ongoing costs. Working with CameraWATCH and using Axis Communications equipment, the school installed a networked video system featuring 24 analog cameras and several Axis video servers so principals, teachers and police could view live campus images over the Internet.

CameraWATCH’s solution—centered on Axis Communications video servers, speakers and a real‑time remote monitoring station—enabled live remote viewing, two‑way announcements and off‑hours monitoring. Since deployment, fights and crime have become nearly non‑existent, students and staff report a stronger sense of safety, and remote monitoring eliminated the need for a full‑time night security guard, delivering faster police notification and measurable security cost savings.
