Effective immediately, Vicon will provide free ViconNet VMS licenses to the local police or law enforcement agency responsible for securing any K-12 district or preschool facility that purchases a new ViconNet VMS. Schools that take advantage of this offer will benefit from law enforcement's ability to view live and recorded video instantly as emergencies unfold and therefore plan smarter interventions when necessary.
ViconNet offers flexible viewing options for stations and squad cars, including the ability to view surveillance video and control cameras using the Vicon Mobile app. School administrators can set law enforcement's permissions and access levels to the system, as appropriate.
"There is a clear security benefit to school districts when the local police are able to keep an extra eye on what's happening, whether it's in real time during an emergency or in viewing recorded video after an event that requires forensic investigation. Vicon is pleased to help make this "best practice" possible for more of our K-12 and preschool customers by underwriting the cost for law enforcement to obtain the necessary software," explained Bret McGowan, Senior VP of Sales and Marketing.
