The Challenge
The Nest, a non-profit organization located in a rough part of Lexington, KY, provides needy families with free essential items, offers counseling for domestic violence issues, and has daycare services onsite. The center had been equipped with a four-camera analog system complete with alarm capabilities, so staff were very aware of the importance of verified alarms in providing a higher degree of safety and security. However, problems arose when the upgraded system integrator staff knew they needed, was a system The Nest could not afford.
About The Customer
The Nest is a non-profit organization located in a public park in Lexington, KY. It provides a variety of services to needy families, including free essential items, counseling for domestic violence issues, and daycare services. The organization is situated in a somewhat rough part of town, making a robust security system crucial for the safety and security of the staff and the people they serve. The Nest had been equipped with a four-camera analog system complete with alarm capabilities, demonstrating their awareness of the importance of verified alarms in providing a higher degree of safety and security.
The Solution
Bates/Sonitrol of Lexington installed a total of 8 3xLOGIC Sonitrol-branded cameras, equipped with full video verification capabilities, and an NVR onsite. There are different camera models to fit the varying surveillance needs, including wide-dynamic range 3MP HD cameras and a 180-degree camera to cover a wider outdoor area. Most of the cameras are located outside, covering the parking lot and a playground. Two interior cameras cover both of The Nest’s entrances, the office, and the entrance to the daycare facility. The old DVR was replaced with a new NVR that has Smart Search capability, and the entire system is now IP, with greatly enhanced image clarity.
