Vicon’s Free Software Program Targets Increasing School Safety
A new program, launched by network video management solutions provider Vicon Industries, based in Hauppage, N.Y., aims to actively encourage schools to share access to their surveillance systems with local law enforcement as a means of increasing school safety.
To support video sharing between schools and law enforcement, Vicon will provide free VicoNet video management software licenses to local police or law enforcement agencies responsible for securing any K-12 district or preschool facility that purchases a new VicoNet system. Any school that takes advantage of this offer will have the extra security of having law enforcement agencies view live and recorded video instantly should an emergency arise, which will allow them to plan smarter interventions as necessary.
