Case Study: NY K-12 School District achieves faster emergency response and improved campus safety with Milestone Systems

How map-based integrations can help schools navigate emergency response

The **NY K-12 School District** in New York faced rising concerns about school violence and needed to upgrade its security and video management system to better protect students, staff, and the community. The district wanted emergency responders and school officials to have fast access to video from central offices, squad cars, and mobile devices, while also integrating access control and intercom systems.

**Milestone Systems** implemented an **XProtect Expert VMS** solution with **Mobile and Smart Clients**, plus integrations with LenelS2 access control, 2-way audio/video intercoms, and cameras from Axis and MOBOTIX. The result was faster emergency response through map-based navigation, remote live video access for police and fire departments, improved monitoring of unauthorized entry, and broader campus visibility; the district also reported crime dropping to almost nothing and saved resources in investigations and reporting.
