Sony CCTV cameras at Harton Technology College

Sony helped Harton Technology College to overcome security issues using ip based CCTV cameras.

Harton Technology College is a highly successful 11-to-16 Department of Education and Skills (DfES) designated technology school with over 150 members of staff and 1,350 students drawn from a large area of South Shields.

In 2002, the college was facing a number of critical security issues. With 16 entrances distributed across various buildings, the college was becoming increasingly vulnerable to incidents of anti-social student behaviour, hoax fire alarms, vandalism and theft.

However, the school’s existing analogue CCTV cameras did not support responsive and efficient monitoring.

To overcome these security issues Sony supplied the college with an advanced Network Video Monitoring solution.  Twenty-one Sony SNC-RZ30P Internet Protocol (IP) based cameras were installed in the school, covering the exterior and all entrance doors.  Later, six more cameras were installed on the second floor of the building.
