The Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District, serving 107,000 students in the metropolitan Houston area, is like a lot of school systems in the United States: Money is tight, but the need for security is high. But Cypress-Fairbanks has been luckier than most. They turned to Vicon's ViconNet IP video solution and have been able to install video systems at all of their facilities. Now, they have completed an upgrade that consists of over 3000 cameras, spread across over 120 network systems, and the project's scope will continue to expand as new facilities are built.
As the third-largest school district in Texas, Cypress-Fairbanks includes eleven high schools, 17 middle schools, 52 active elementary schools, and several administration buildings. As the district has grown, technology advancements have become a priority.
