School CCTV reference:

School CCTV: Koraal Groep logo

For Koraal Groep, we implemented CCTV system solutions that match their vision. Visible security cameras monitor parts of the school and its surroundings.

A high-end DVR solution was used for this. It lets school management view the footage on a secure network when incidents occur. The CCTV acts as an extension of their toolkit for tackling incidents quickly.

  • Efficiency through security technology
  • User-friendly software
  • The right footage found in no time
  • Can be used for multiple purposes

Points to consider when buying a CCTV system for a school

Recording time and viewing footage

Where will the footage be viewed? Who may or can view it? What level of authority should these users have? Can they save footage, only see live view, or also review recordings?

Technical protection of the CCTV system

How is the IT security of the CCTV system arranged? Who manages the network and the equipment? Does the CCTV system systematically receive the latest security updates?

Replacing security cameras at school

Do you already have security cameras in place? Are they still adequate? Does only part of the system need replacing, or is everything due for replacement?

Image quality of the security cameras

At what distance must a person be recognisable? What are the lighting conditions? Do they change? What do you want to see at night using the infrared (IR) on the security cameras? Many situations need a tailor-made approach to get the ideal picture: adjusting, testing and testing again.

Placement and location

Where should the cameras be placed to capture as much as possible? Is an external lens needed to achieve this? Which type of camera works best? A 360-degree camera, a dual-lens camera or perhaps a thermal security camera? We make sure you have the best equipment for the situation.

Environment

What kind of environment will the security cameras be in? Do they need to be extra vandal-resistant, or perhaps mounted very high? What needs to be seen in the footage?

Purpose

What is the purpose of the cameras? What do you want to prevent or achieve with them, and how can that be done?

More than just recording

Smart applications of camera security

Put camera footage straight to work in your daily processes and security organisation.

Example of a CCTV protocol for schools

CCTV PROTOCOL

This protocol sets out agreements on the use of the installed security cameras, viewing footage and storing the recordings. By installing cameras, we aim to serve and protect the interests and property of the school, its pupils and its staff.

Visibility of security cameras

The security cameras are mounted visibly. There are no hidden (covert) security cameras in or around the school.

Duty to inform about CCTV

All school entrances have a clear sticker stating that CCTV is in operation 24/7 (in line with the GDPR, AVG in Dutch).

The purpose of CCTV

- Support in detecting criminal offences and incidents
- Preventing unwanted behaviour
- Protecting property
- Contributing positively to a sense of safety
- Monitoring access and damage caused by vandalism and theft
- Recognising or identifying people during incidents

Informing staff, pupils/parents, visitors and others

Staff, parents and pupils are informed that CCTV is in operation across the entire school grounds. This is also stated at the school entrance, again with stickers saying that the security cameras record 24/7, 7 days a week. 

Footage retention period

The footage is kept for a maximum of 4 weeks (guideline of the Dutch Data Protection Authority). It is overwritten automatically (first in, first out). If an incident has occurred in the past 28 days, the footage of it is kept for no longer than 4 weeks.

Footage used for a police report and/or police investigation is destroyed after consultation with the police and/or once such an investigation has been completed. The retention period of 4 weeks does not apply in this case.

Access to footage

Permission to view the stored security camera footage can only be given by a member of the school management. Staff with this permission are the school management and the safety coordinator. Footage may be viewed by those with a legitimate interest.

Those with a legitimate interest include victims of a crime, violence, theft and the like. If the person concerned may view the footage, this only covers footage of that person themselves, to support the evidence for a police report.

Information for parents of pupils

If a pupil is identified as the offender, school management informs the pupil's parent(s). School management reserves the right to view the footage within the retention period (4 weeks). If necessary, the footage is shared with the police after a report has been filed. The pupil's parents are also informed of this.

Access by third parties

When a third party requests to view the stored footage, we consider whether access is necessary. When the police or judicial authorities demand the footage, it will always be provided.

Management of the CCTV system

Staff of the IT department and an external party (RRB Security) maintain and manage the CCTV system. Neither party is entitled to view the stored footage without permission from the school management.


Complaints procedure

If a member of staff, parent, pupil or third party has a complaint about the CCTV, it must be submitted to the school board to be dealt with.

Other

If a situation arises that is not covered by the protocol above, school management decides on it. If there is an urgent reason to deviate from the CCTV protocol, the chair of the school is informed immediately.
