Case Study: Indiana Department of Corrections achieves reliable, low‑maintenance statewide video surveillance with Exacq Technologies

The Indiana Department of Corrections - Customer Case Study

The Indiana Department of Corrections (IDOC), which operates 20 adult correctional facilities and multiple juvenile sites across the state, faced an antiquated surveillance system with frequent hardware failures and high maintenance costs. Seeking an easy-to-use, low‑maintenance video security solution, IDOC engaged local integrator Security Automation Systems, which recommended standardizing on exacqVision network video recorders (NVRs) and exacqVision VMS from Exacq Technologies; IDOC selected the all‑in‑one exacqVision solution for its ease of use and local roots.

Security Automation Systems installed exacqVision Z‑Series and ELP‑Series NVRs with Axis encoders, allowing IDOC to retain 3,500+ existing analog cameras while adding IP cameras and using exacqVision Enterprise VMS and Exacq Mobile to give 60+ employees statewide access. The Exacq Technologies solution has eliminated server maintenance at sites like Wabash, prevented drive/server failures with RAID‑5 and front‑mount bays, enabled faster post‑incident investigations, and saved the agency thousands of dollars in maintenance costs.
