Case Study: Nishimachi International School enhances student safety with Verkada

How a Top International School in Japan Keeps Students Safe with a Modern Security Solution

Nishimachi International School, a renowned international school in Tokyo, needed a modern way to keep students safe while respecting privacy and minimizing the upkeep of its security infrastructure. To meet these goals, the school evaluated Verkada’s free trial program and looked for a solution that could replace onsite servers, DVRs, and NVRs with a more scalable, low-maintenance system.

Verkada deployed its cloud-based security platform, including cameras and the Command software, across strategic locations on campus. The solution improved monitoring, enabled faster incident response, and provided privacy features such as role-based permissions, face blur, and privacy regions, while reducing bandwidth to about 20 kbps per camera and supporting more than 100 cameras on a ~2 Mbps connection. With automatic updates, 24/7 support, and 10-year warranties, Verkada helped Nishimachi strengthen safety, simplify management, and create a more secure school environment.
