Case Study: The Riviera Ridge School enhances campus safety and wildfire monitoring with Verkada

How a Top Private School Transforms Campus Safety and Security

The Riviera Ridge School, a private school in Santa Barbara, needed to replace an end-of-life legacy NVR camera system and improve security across its open campus. With challenges including after-hours protection and wildfire-related air quality concerns, the school turned to Verkada for a more modern, cloud-based approach to campus safety.

Verkada implemented an integrated security platform for The Riviera Ridge School, including cameras with LPR, alarms with panic buttons, intercom, guest management, and air quality sensors, all managed from a single cloud dashboard. The solution enabled 24/7 professional monitoring, remote access for staff, and faster incident response, with the school reporting a 2x faster response time and zero NVRs to maintain.
