JVC Professional: comprehensive IP security system for Treloar College. Treloar College is a specialist college for disabled students based in the outskirts of Alton in Hampshire. JVC Professional has recently equipped the College with IP security cameras and security management software for a comprehensive IP security system.

The project is supported by the City Livery Company of Security Professionals and by JVC Professional Europe.

Treloar College provides education, care, therapy, medical support and independence training to young people aged 16 and over with physical disabilities from all over the UK and overseas. The security system is designed to be entirely future-proof and additional security cameras can be added to the system as and when needed and depending on how the requirements of students attending the college changes.

At present, the security system comprises 17 security cameras which are located around the college and are operated over a local area network (LAN) connected to a PC server. JVC supplied Milestone Xprotect Basis Plus software which is installed on a PC server and manages the security system. The existing four analogue cameras are encoded using the company’s VNA1U 1 channel IP encoders to enable the signal to be viewed on the IP system.

Footage is recorded and saved for two weeks, and the security system can be adjusted for use during the holiday period as and when the routine changes. In outdoor locations VN-C20U fixed IP cameras are housed in secure, weatherproof casings, and positioned above access points and doors to monitor people coming in and out of the main college buildings.

The cameras operate exceptionally well in low light levels and have an outstanding picture quality. They have motion detection, and picture masking functions that can blank out the movement of trees and plants. This is important as video recording is triggered when motion is detected and the camera can be set to record pre- and-post alarm pictures of an incident. This reduces recording of unnecessary footage which means less storage requirements.
