Case Study: Toronto Community Housing enhances resident safety with March Networks video surveillance

Toronto Community Housing protects 110,000 residents with March Networks video surveillance

Toronto Community Housing, the largest social housing provider in Canada, faced the significant challenge of securing over 400 high-rise and townhouse complexes spread across Toronto for its 110,000+ residents. Their decentralized video surveillance model required staff to drive to individual sites to review footage, slowing investigations and making system management difficult. To enhance security, they partnered with vendor March Networks to leverage their video surveillance technology.

March Networks implemented a centralized solution using their Command Enterprise video management software and 8000 Series Hybrid NVRs. This allowed staff to remotely manage the system, review video, and quickly export evidence, drastically speeding up investigations. The solution's health monitoring features ensured peak performance of over 500 recorders and 8,000 cameras. The results include a safer environment for residents and rapid resolution of incidents, exemplified by a suspect being apprehended the same day a shooting occurred thanks to clear video evidence provided to police.
