Mission

The University of Bari "Aldo Moro," whose main campus is located in the city of Bari, is an Italian public university founded in 1925. With over 60,000 students, it is the main university of Puglia, and one of the major Italian universities. The University comprises fifteen schools of studies, offering 150 Bachelor's Degrees; it also houses many libraries and media centres that support many inter-university projects. The University continuously provides multimedia classrooms, public displays, info points, and other instruments geared to increase the quality of teaching and to improve services and communications between students and the university.

Given the increasing need for security to protect property, guarantee the safety of students and deter theft and vandalism, some departments decided to implement a video surveillance system to monitor areas of access. They also saw a need to install cameras in the faculty parking lot, the scene of many thefts in the past. "The safety of the students and staff has always been one of the priorities for a university that houses thousands of people each day," says Dr. Michele Clarizio, Secretary- Coordinator of the School of Law.

Solution

For the development and implementation of a video surveillance system for the various departments, the University turned to Locnet Solutions, a Bari-based security systems integrator. For this project, Locnet decided to rely entirely on the cutting-edge network cameras from Axis Communications.
