Hanwha Techwin America announced that Army and Navy Academy, a college preparatory military boarding school in California has upgraded its security infrastructure with Hanwha security cameras.

Located on a 23-acre beach-front property, the school is home to more than 300 students and employs more than 140 faculty and staff members. With a commitment to continuously adapt and improve, the Academy developed a strategic plan that focused on supporting the long-term success of their cadets.

When the school began building and renovating facilities, they included an upgrade to their technology and physical security system.

With a two-fold approach, the school first needed to replace its existing, out-of-date analog camera system. Second, they needed a system that could keep up with current technology.

According to Jeffrey Gibson, Assistant Commandant, Operations, Safety, and Security at the Academy, a system with analytics to keep a close watch on the campus could act as a force multiplier.

After an extensive vetting process, the school deployed a video surveillance solution comprised of Hanwha cameras integrated with Wisenet WAVE, a highly customizable and reliable IP-based video management system (VMS).

Integrating the Hanwha cameras using the WAVE VMS made it possible to create a video surveillance solution tailored to the campus? specific needs. The Academy was able to quickly train security personnel as required because the WAVE VMS is extremely intuitive and easy to use.

The Academy now has a total of 141 cameras, including PNM-9081VQ multi-sensor, multi-directional cameras for covering wide areas, which allows them to use fewer cameras while seeing more.

They have also installed PNM-9320VQP multi-sensor multi-directional PTZ cameras for zooming in or for covering long distances. And, to be able to effectively monitor between buildings and cover their coastline, the Academy chose PNM-9020V multi-sensor 180 Source: HanwhaSecurity.com
