Description[ ]
Georgetown County School District (GCSD) is located on the South Carolina coast and serves approximately 9,500 students throughout its 10 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 4 high schools, career center and adult education center. The mission of its 1,400 employees is to provide all students with the knowledge and skills that will prepare them for citizenship within a diverse society. In 2016, GCSD found itself with a sparse, end-of-life camera system; replacements were not available for its legacy cameras, and with increased safety risks to staff and students, the district knew it was time to address gaps in coverage. To implement improvements throughout the school district, including a major security upgrade, a bond referendum was held. 80% of the community voted in favor of the renovation budget, making it one of the most successful bond referendums in South Carolina history. Upon its success, GCSD set its sights on a smart security system with increased coverage to help mitigate misconduct while offering greater ease-of-use for school administrators, security officers and law enforcement officials 1
To enhance security across its numerous campuses, GCSD deployed a complete video security and critical communications solution including Avigilon Control Center (ACC) video management software, Motorola Solutions XPR 3500e radios and over 1,000 Avigilon cameras. The wide range of Avigilon cameras that GCSD selected offer numerous features to effectively meet the unique needs of each of its locations. The H4A Bullet camera is embedded with Avigilon self-learning video analytics designed to recognize the movements and characteristics of people and vehicles while ignoring any activity that is not relevant to a scene 1
