Following the failure of one of their PTZ cameras, Parrs Wood High School were looking at options for a replacement camera. As is often the case with PTZ cameras on CCTV systems, before it was replaced it was previously kept in a static position viewing one area of the school building – often missing incidents and not being used to its full potential.
As part of their replacement criteria they were looking for a camera/s that could provide improved views of the area that didn’t require any operator input.
Following AEL Systems recommendation took the decision to replace it with an Avigilon H4A Multi-Sensor camera, with four 5MP lenses they now have a constant uninterrupted 360° view of the area ensuring that no incidents are missed.
And with the industry leading onboard analytics able to provide human and vehicle detection, they now have improved out of hours security of the site when the school is closed.
The IT Manager of the school said: “This has been a fantastic addition and improvement to the CCTV system, we are now able to monitor and view the whole area in this part of the school and with overlapping views nothing is missed. We will definitely be looking to replace more PTZ cameras around the school with the Multi-Sensor camera”.
If you have a similar situation with a PTZ camera that is not being used to its potential, with incidents being missed and not providing the right solution, then give our friendly sales team a call who will be able to provide professional advice on replacement options.

Following the failure of their aging analogue CCTV recorder at Holy Cross Catholic High School, AEL Systems were asked to provide options to replace the controls without having to upgrade the entire system.
Working with the school to ensure we provided the highest specification at the best value, we combined the use of multichannel encoders with the Milestone XProtect VMS running on a Venzo Secure server. This enabled us to retain all the legacy analogue camera stock but still provide the school with an industry leading Video Management Software platform to view and control the system on.
Suffice to say the school were highly impressed with the ease of the system transfer from old to new, and the accessibility and usability of the Milestone system.
If you have an ageing analogue CCTV system you are looking to upgrade, then please call our sales team who can talk you through the various options available.

A fire safety inspection may not be particularly high on your list of important events for your business, but as a Whitby restaurant owner has found out, your bank balance, customers and staff will thank you for it.
Having a fire safety inspection is a legal requirement. The law regarding fire safety inspections states that the local fire authority must enforce The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and Section 19 of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, since the law came into force on 1st October 2006. Inspections are carried out by specialist fire inspection officers, who visit properties deemed as higher risk, as well as any complex commercial premises. The inspectors' job is to carry out an assessment, and identify any associated risks which the business owner needs to take action on to ensure that they're complying with the law.
Azad Hussain, who was formerly the company director of Whitby restaurant “Kam Thai” in Church Street, pleaded guilty to not complying with six different fire safety regulations when he appeared at York Crown Court in front of His Honour Judge Jamieson QC.
However, it wasn't just the restaurant area itself which was the main cause for concern. The inspection covered the entire building. North Yorkshire's Fire and Rescue Service visited the restaurant to carry out a fire safety inspection on 8th August, when they discovered what was described as a series of “serious fire safety deficiencies” in the associated employee accommodation.
Mr Hussain was also criticised for failing to have a functional fire alarm and fire detector system, ignoring a previous fire risk assessment and its enforcement notice, and blocking a fire exit with combustible items. It was also found that staff had not received adequate fire training to allow them to ensure everyone's safety. He was fined £40,000, along with £6,800 in costs. In addition, the company was fined £6,000.
If you're not sure if you'll pass your next fire safety inspection, there's plenty of advice available online, and from specialist companies like AEL Systems. It's much easier to pass your inspection if you know what you're looking for, and a little bit of helpful advice can go a long way.
