Crossroads Church Enhances Campus Safety with Advanced AI Surveillance

EnGenius Technologies, a prominent provider of cloud-managed networking solutions, recently helped Crossroads Church in Rowlett, Texas, significantly improve its security system. The church, which serves over 1,200 members and conducts numerous daily activities, had been struggling with an outdated surveillance infrastructure. With increasing demands for safety and visibility, the church decided that change was necessary.

The Challenge of an Aging System

For some time, Crossroads Church had relied on a legacy network video recorder (NVR)-based system that struggled to keep up with its extensive 30,000-square-foot facility and expansive 15-acre campus. Numerous blind spots and a lack of clarity in footage left both staff and families concerned about safety, especially for the younger children participating in daycare and youth programs. The church's Executive Pastor expressed the urgent need, stating, "Our previous system simply couldn't keep up with ministry happening every day, and families trusting us with their children."

A Comprehensive Solution

To tackle these challenges, the church partnered with Smart Technology Solutions and implemented a cutting-edge modernization plan anchored on EnGenius technology. The new setup includes:

• - 57 EnGenius ECC100 AI surveillance cameras that provide complete indoor, outdoor, and parking lot coverage.
• - Multi-gigabit EnGenius ECS2552FP and ECS2528FP switches, ensuring high-capacity video handling and efficient campus-wide traffic management.
• - 12 ECW536 Wi-Fi 7 access points to deliver fast and dependable wireless connectivity across the campus.
• - A unified cloud dashboard that enables real-time monitoring and centralized management from any location.

Lead Pastor of Crossroads Church highlighted the benefits, saying, "For the first time, we have total visibility. If something happens anywhere on our property, we can see it, isolate it, and respond immediately. That level of clarity is invaluable."

Harnessing AI for Better Awareness

The church's adoption of advanced AI analytics enables features like event detection and customizable alerts. As the team becomes more familiar with the technology, they plan to leverage AI to enhance campus oversight further by detecting human movement patterns and interpreting complex situations. By utilizing such technology, Crossroads Church aims to significantly improve its safety measures.

Revolutionizing Surveillance

One of the standout features of the EnGenius Cloud AI system is that it eliminates the tedious tasks associated with traditional surveillance systems. Gone are the days of wading through hours of footage in search of specific incidents. The AI capabilities allow users to simply input descriptions, such as "person wearing a red hoodie," and instantly retrieve relevant footage. This feature not only saves time but also aids in quicker responses to situations requiring immediate attention.

Key features of the ECC100 AI surveillance camera include:

• - 5MP HDR Clarity with a Sony Starvis sensor for high-quality visuals.
• - Ultra-wide coverage with a 132° field of view and a 20m infrared distance for nighttime monitoring.
• - Built-in storage with 256GB for 24/7 ongoing recording without requiring external NVR equipment.
• - An IP67 rating that ensures durability against the elements and vandalism.

Future of Security

EnGenius Technologies is redefining business security by prioritizing contextual awareness and predictive analytics. Roger Liu, Executive Vice President at EnGenius Technologies, emphasized the critical need for intelligence-driven surveillance, stating, "Our system helps businesses act before incidents escalate by analyzing sequences of behavior, rather than just providing static images."

With the ECC100 AI Camera now available through authorized resellers, Crossroads Church sets a new standard in ensuring the safety of its community. Through the latest advancements in surveillance technology, they not only protect their property but also enhance the experience for their members and visitors alike.
