IP cameras.

 

This way each room has it's own IP address.

 

Perhaps you may want to use a product such as Sonic Wall where parents would have to be given user names, and passwords just to get in to the schools system, and then an other password for each room.

It's all very nice and a good idea to let the parents see their little Johnny running rings round the Teacher BUT........

 

How would you stop parents looking at other children?

 

What if (and its not difficult) a username and password was comprimised.

 

CCTV in Schools should not, IMHO, be given access to the outside world.

IP solution will be ideal, but will be the most expensive route... besides major considerations should be given for the entire bandwidth requirements.

 

We have done few schools even recently with similar parameters, except we use the conventional minidomes and decent DVR combination. A camera was designated per classroom and there were total of 11 classrooms. What end up happening was that the school created low security level usernames and passwords that were assigned for each port (video feed) without any possibilities for the user(s) to be able to change system integrity. To accomplish this feature, the parents had a choice to use IE or remote viewer software, each of which do not provide any DVR control features.

 

Then such usernames and passwords were distributed among the parents. Each time the parent connected to the DVR, all they were able to do was to view the respective camera of a classroom and the DVR was programmed to "mask" all the other ports... This is a very simple and yet powerful feature that many decent DVR come with...

 

The only restriction that was imposed was number of users that could get into the DVR simultaneously that could effect the available bandwidth. In the last case, the school decided view of a port of the DVR no more than 5 minutes per connection and the DVR was programmed to accept no more than 12 simultaneous sessions. The school had the choice to increase these number of connections, but decided that 12 sessions were mode than adequate. The true number actually turned up to be no more than six sessions...
