As CTX continues to grow, the need to quickly protect new
buildings has become essential. CTX recently joined in on
the competitive gaming action with the only collegiate
esports team in Central Texas. It is one of 100 colleges
across the United States and Canada that have esports
teams.
The newly debuted E-Sports arena comes with 12
professional gaming stations for the 15 team roster. The
arena houses state-of-the-art equipment. Each player will
enjoy a Maxnomic chair and fully equipped station with
Alienware technology, including a 240Hz gaming monitor.
Protecting this new and expensive esports arena beyond
just equipping it with a card reader was important for CTX.
In addition to a card reader where CTX can control who
enters and exits the building, CTX is also using CheckVideo
as a secondary source of monitoring ingoing and outgoing
traffic to keep an eye on equipment and deter theft.
CheckVideo includes an industry-first search engine that
enables searches in seconds, even for multiple cameras.
This makes it possible for CTX to use their video cameras
to truly understand activities around the esports arena
and deploy law enforcement to provide coverage when it
is needed.
One of the most important considerations for a security
system spanning such a large campus is the health of that
system. The CheckVideo system proactively monitors its own health - continuing to function like new. It checks
for bugs and faults and will notify service technicians if
necessary.
The installation of CheckVideo solutions has expanded
capabilities far beyond what CTX initially thought they
were going to use it for. From protecting parking lots, to
monitoring the e-sports arena, and keeping an eye on the
neighborhing aparmtent complex it has grown from 13
cameras to 18 in a very short period of time.
Creating and maintaining a safe learning environment for
CTX students and staff, combined with the need to react
quickly in an emergency is always top priority.
CheckVideo’s cloud managed system provides a complete
solution for CTX, by acting as a force multiplier, alerting
officers to issues, and by allowing IT staff to provide
a reliable system that is cost-effective to deploy and
maintain.
