With our freedom comes a price to pay. Any student maniac killer can walk around free and choose to gun down innocent students or teachers without remorse and now it’s happened again.
Still, the freer environment of campuses also can pose security risks, said Ron Stephens, director of the National School Safety Center in California.
The use of surveillance cameras in schools is not new, but just about everything involved with the technology and the way it is used is new. “Prevention is the key to stopping gun violence, including more surveillance cameras in schools and tighter background checks for gun buyers. The government announced earlier this year that surveillance cameras in schools were being considered, but now says the purchase will not take place this year.
NIU (Northern Illinois University) killings show vulnerability despite efforts to secure schools By SHARON COHEN AP National Writer. Students uneasy Stephen Kazmierczak Photo ‘I saw him shoot my teacher ‘Video Shooting at Northern Illinois UniversityPhotos NIU shooting victims Photos Northern Illinois University gunman Stephen Kazmierczak.
Inside Cole Hall, more NIU gunman identified. Those who knew gunman are baffled NIU noted gunman’s scholarship Web site keeps many connected Elmhurst student identified as NIU shooting victim ‘I was prepared for that to be my last moment’ NIU students hold vigils on shaken campus Professor could only hear chaos Barack Obama comments on shootings Up-to-the-minute messaging system put to the test The NIU rampage: What’s going on in America.
That sober assessment weighed on the minds of NIU students who piled suitcases and laundry bags into cars Friday and left the nearly empty, snow-covered campus, apprehensive about their eventual return.
Cameras themselves are probably no more invasive than any one of a host of other forms of surveillance that have become routine in public schools, which these days resemble prisons, both in appearance and intent, more than they do the groves of academe.
The use of closed-circuit surveillance cameras has already reduced vandalism and break-ins in schools. Although it is possible that this may occasionally work against a school, most schools welcome this concrete evidence so that testimony regarding an incident does not consist solely of hearsay.
Even though most school districts that have implemented video surveillance systems have faced privacy concerns from parents, students and civil libertarian groups, school officials assert that cameras curb crime and are important sources of physical evidence when crimes do occur. School officials throughout the nation are held accountable by parents to ensure student safety on the buses, and by using video surveillance this security can be assured.
Cameras provide more information but don’t necessarily stop crime, say critics, who point out that high-profile school shootings have happened under the gaze of security cameras. The cameras deter crime and may lead some students to confess to infractions that weren’t even caught on the security cameras.
Even though we can’t prevent shootings like at NIU and Columbine, high powered surveillance cameras like the World’s Most Silent Weatherproof, Day/Night High Speed P/T/Z Color Dome Camera shown here will alert teachers and authorities hopefully in time to save some lives.
This most advanced Dome Camera comes with wall mount bracket and is perfect for outdoor use. Camera has 26X optical and 12X digital zoom capability, delivering 312X zoom power that captures the finest details.
RS-485 communication channels are available for remote control purposes and may be programmed for 200 preset precise locations of target areas. The Dome Camera works great with the 
8 Channel Portable Digital Video Recording System which can control the PTZ-DOME via RS485 control. This would mean running a 2 thin wires for the control, your video and power cable from the camera to the DVR. This system even has instant cellphone and e-mail alerts when suspects enter a room.
Before secondary and middle school officials install video surveillance systems to prevent vandalism, gang activity, fights, trespassing or theft, they must sit down and conduct a thorough inventory of their needs and security concerns. Using a video system this way may help reduce some types of incidents, but it is not the most effective way to prevent trouble, identify weaknesses in a system, and improve operations.
In the near future, surveillance system scan identify suspects against characteristics stored in the security system’s database by measuring facial geometry, surveillance systems Today, the focus is on using biometric face recognition and identifying characteristics to help stop future campus killings and improve security in all school systems.
