Case Study: University of Kentucky improves campus safety and situational awareness with Salient Systems CompleteView

University of Kentucky unifies 3,000 cameras and 8,000 access points with Salient Systems

The University of Kentucky Police Department (UKPD) faced a challenge in managing a sprawling, hardware-centric video surveillance system across its large campus. The existing system was inflexible, difficult to scale, and did not provide the necessary situational awareness to ensure safety. To address this, UKPD selected the CompleteView Enterprise VMS from vendor Salient Systems.

Salient's software-based solution provided the university with a flexible, scalable, and centralized video management platform. The results included significantly improved situational awareness, which was instrumental in safely resolving a critical security incident. The system also reduced network costs through Dynamic Resolution Scaling and saved administrative time with its easy-to-manage Web Client, allowing UKPD to efficiently monitor everything from daily operations to major events.
