Newport City Council schools needed to find a way of reducing vandalism, which had become a common problem for many schools across the region.

Under the Newport Community Safety Partnership initiative, the City Council, Gwent Police and private sector partners including Axis Communications put together a fully networked surveillance solution, which enabled monitoring of hotspots such as school roofs in the after hours.

AXIS 2400 Video Servers were deployed to distribute video images from CCTV cameras onto the school's computer network.  The entire solution enabled alarm activation and relaying of video footage to a central monitoring centre in the council's civic centre on a 24-hour, seven days-a-week basis.
