Case Study: Brighton Grammar School improves student safety and wellness with Verkada

How a Leading Australian Boys School Protects Student Health, Safety and Well-Being

Brighton Grammar School, a leading boys’ school in Melbourne, Australia, needed a better way to protect student health, safety, and well-being while maintaining privacy across its large campus. The school evaluated security vendors for both current capabilities and future scalability, and chose Verkada’s integrated platform, including Air Quality Sensors and Cameras, to help monitor safety and wellness needs.

With Verkada, Brighton Grammar centralized devices, alerts, footage, and users in the Command platform to gain real-time visibility into air quality, vaping, people of interest, and unusual activity. The school reported being able to find, save, and share footage in minutes instead of days, respond to campus events in seconds instead of hours, and receive instant alerts where previously there was no visibility; Verkada also improved storage, remote access, and privacy controls through hybrid cloud storage, role-based permissions, and face blur.
