FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Wilsonville, Ore., January 26, 2010 – Technocom, Inc. has partnered with the Canby School District and JVC to
help keep the students safer in the district.
Technocom, a systems integrator based in Wilsonville, Ore., designed and installed the Canby School District’s
camera surveillance system, which came online in time for 2009 fall classes.
The adoption of camera surveillance was seen as a positive move by the community. “School security has become an extremely important issue and trend,” explained Joe Morelock, IT director for the Canby School District. “The closed-circuit security system was funded as part of a bond issue that voters approved for the construction and renovation of Canby’s public schools. The mere presence of these cameras acts as a deterrent as well as an investigative tool that is already serving to keep our schools safer.”
While the video cameras can be viewed in real time and monitored 24/7, Canby School administrators prefer to review the recordings to investigate suspicious incidents that have taken place, such as thefts or student skirmishes. School officials may be granted access to monitor all the cameras – or just an individual camera or select portion of the network – using any Web-enabled device. Also, law enforcement agencies can monitor school cameras remotely from their squad cars by tapping into the school district’s IP-based Wi-Fi network. “We chose the JVC cameras based upon their great picture quality and reputation for reliable operation, especially in low-light and extreme weather conditions,” said Morelock. “Other compelling features included Web-based setup and access, and a JVC app enabling monitoring on an Apple iPhone.”
Rick McCloskey, CEO of Technocom commented, “These JVC IP cameras are in fact, very impressive and we’re pleased that they have exceeded the expectation of our customer. The quality of the surveillance and the reliability of these cameras have actually exceeded our own expectations and we install systems like this everyday.”
