Case Study: Chizuk Amuno Synagogue achieves proactive, scalable security and remote monitoring with Milestone Systems

Maryland synagogue proactively manages the safety of its congregation with a Milestone IP video surveillance solution

Chizuk Amuno Congregation, a 130‑year‑old synagogue in Baltimore with a 17‑acre campus serving over 1,350 families, needed to modernize security after nearby crimes and rising threats highlighted vulnerabilities. The site relied on door buzzers, two aging analog CCTV cameras and part‑time guards, but with multiple buildings, heavy traffic and thousands of people on peak days the congregation required comprehensive, reliable surveillance to protect children, staff and visitors.

Computerized Management Systems installed SONY IP fixed and PTZ cameras managed by Milestone XProtect® Enterprise, plus upgraded access control—providing wireless, remote viewing, scheduled PTZ sweeps and integration options. The result is full, scalable coverage and real‑time monitoring that improved child and crowd safety, deterred theft and vandalism, streamlined traffic and operations, and created a future‑proof platform that can be shared with police and expanded as needs grow.
