i-PRO has announced that the Buffalo Public School District (BPSD) in New York has updated its security footprint with the company’s multi-sensor and 360° fisheye network cameras, as well as i-PRO NV300 network video recorders (NVR).

According to i-PRO, the BPSD modernization project began with replacing 2% of the older interior pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras with i-PRO 5MP fisheye network cameras with 360° coverage while swapping out their obsolete recorders with i-PRO NV300 NVRs.

Through several phases, the company upgraded a large percentage of the district‘s 5,000 older cameras with new i-PRO vandal-resistant domes, additional 360° fisheye and strategically placed multi-sensor cameras for building exteriors and common gathering places.

Additional NVRs were upgraded to the newest i-PRO NX400 recorders running i-PRO ASM300 monitoring software.

“Feedback from across the district has been extremely positive,” said BPSD Security Engineer John Waterhouse.

“Our teams love the i-PRO cameras. Reducing camera count was a huge benefit not only for our budget but in terms of maintenance, too.”

Looking ahead, Waterhouse anticipates taking advantage of some of the advanced edge-based AI analytics offered by i-PRO.
