The administration and teaching staff at Long Branch Public Schools in New Jersey are committed to the belief that all children possess unique talents and can master the academic skills needed to be successful, lifelong learners. The Long Branch Board of Education also believes that an effective instructional programme requires an orderly school environment in which student safety is a priority. To ensure the safety of its students, as well as staff, the Long Branch Board of Education has deployed the Avigilon High Definition (HD) Surveillance System at the high school, middle school, and three elementary schools with a goal to deploy the surveillance system at the remaining four schools next year.

While student safety is the main concern at Long Branch Public Schools, so too is creating a positive, open learning environment. With this in mind, administrators began looking for an advanced surveillance system that could deliver clear and accurate image detail as inconspicuously as possible. “The primary goal for the new surveillance system is for it to deliver exceptional image detail, including facial and license plate detail recognition, to lead to more successful investigations and quicker conflict resolution,” said Joseph M. Ferraina, superintendent at Long Branch Public School. Requiring fewer cameras to achieve complete coverage, the Avigilon HD Surveillance System boosts security without impacting the learning environment at the schools.Long Branch Public Schools also installed 10 Avigilon HD network video recorders (NVR) to store up to two months of continuous surveillance video
