Case Study: Wichita State University achieves scalable, easy-to-manage campus security with Milestone Systems' XProtect

Wichita State University finds upgrading from VCR to Milestone IP video surveillance is flexible and scalable for campus expansions, and very easy to manage

Wichita State University, a metropolitan campus with 14,000+ students and multiple sites including a main campus, West Campus, Koch Arena and an off-site aviation research facility, struggled with an aging VCR-based surveillance system that was time-consuming, unreliable and ill-suited to monitor widespread PC labs and public users. Frequent theft, vandalism and misuse in open computer labs, plus the need to cover new buildings and remote sites, created a clear need for a more scalable, easy-to-manage security solution.

WSU deployed Milestone XProtect Enterprise with Axis and IQinVision cameras, supported by partner ISG Technology, allowing centralized and local monitoring, motion-based recording, and simple remote access. The upgrade was fast and low-maintenance, enabled quick evidence capture for campus police, deterred wrongdoing, supported managerial oversight, and scaled easily to new sites (West Campus, Koch Arena, NIAR), improving incident resolution and operational efficiency.
