Case Study: Northridge Cooperative Homes achieves 24/7 high-definition wireless surveillance and reduced crime with Exacq Technologies

Northridge Cooperative Homes - Customer Case Study

Northridge Cooperative Homes, a $55 million non‑profit in Bayview‑Hunters Point, San Francisco, faced rising vandalism, drug activity and the need to cover every vehicle entry point despite low light, variable topography, high RF interference, no hard‑wired infrastructure and strict aesthetic requirements. After receiving a HUD Safe Neighborhoods grant, they engaged Applied Video Solutions to design a wireless HD surveillance system using AXIS low‑profile cameras, Hautespot wireless links and Exacq Technologies’ Video Management Software to meet license‑plate capture, occupant visibility and remote access requirements.

Applied Video Solutions deployed the AXIS cameras, Hautespot wireless and Exacq Technologies’ VMS to deliver 24/7 remote monitoring, easy search/retrieval, motion alerts and discreet coverage of all major entrances. The system secured all street entrances, acted as a deterrent, enabled fast incident investigation and gave residents peace of mind; the installation was projected to pay for itself in 6–9 months versus staffed guards with a long‑term ROI of over $1M across five years.
