The Challenge

After-Hours Vandalism and Trespassing Across Multiple Campuses

A suburban school district with 5 campuses was facing regular after-hours vandalism, trespassing, and occasional break-ins. The district lacked the budget for full-time security guards, and their existing camera system only recorded footage -- it did not prevent incidents or enable real-time response. Damage and cleanup costs were consuming resources that should have been directed toward education.

The Solution

AI Detection with Law Enforcement Integration

SCT+ deployed solar-powered cameras across all 5 campuses covering parking lots, athletic fields, and building perimeters. AI detection identifies after-hours activity and immediately alerts our 24/7 monitoring team. Verified threats trigger law enforcement dispatch while two-way audio enables our team to warn trespassers before damage occurs. The solar-powered system required no electrical infrastructure or construction on school grounds.
