Case Study: Zionsville Community Schools improves campus safety and scales surveillance with Verkada

How Surveillance Footage Helped a School Diffuse a Potential On-Campus Threat

Zionsville Community Schools, a growing district serving 7,500 students across eight campuses, needed a faster, more scalable way to manage campus security. Their aging CCTV system was difficult to access remotely, created too much motion-triggered noise, and couldn’t meet Indiana’s 30-day storage requirement without costly infrastructure upgrades.

Verkada provided an easy-to-use video surveillance solution using Verkada Command and high-quality cameras that could be installed quickly with minimal training. Zionsville deployed 530 cameras in just two weeks, eliminated storage and bandwidth issues, and used Verkada to help resolve a real security incident by identifying a potential threat and ending a lockdown hours early.
