EnGenius Technologies Inc., known for its advanced connectivity and cloud-managed networking solutions, has announced the completion of a significant security overhaul at Crossroads Church in Rowlett, Texas. The project involved modernizing the church's surveillance and network systems using EnGenius AI cameras, multigigabit switches, and Wi-Fi 7 access points. This upgrade enhances security across the church's expansive 30,000-square-foot facility and 15-acre campus, offering improved peace of mind for staff, volunteers, and families.
The church, which serves over 1,200 members and hosts various daily activities, faced challenges with its outdated surveillance system. "With ministry happening every day and families trusting us with their children, we needed to be sure we could clearly monitor every part of our campus," stated the Executive Pastor. The previous system relied on an NVR-based surveillance setup that failed to provide adequate coverage and lacked the clarity and storage necessary for comprehensive oversight.
Enhancing Safety through Modernization
To address these issues, Crossroads Church collaborated with Smart Technology Solutions to implement a modern security infrastructure built on EnGenius cloud-managed technology. The deployment includes 57 EnGenius ECC100 AI surveillance cameras, ensuring full coverage of indoor, outdoor, and parking areas.
Additionally, multi-gig EnGenius ECS2552FP and ECS2528FP switches support high-capacity video, livestreaming, and campus-wide traffic, while 12 EnGenius ECW536 Wi-Fi 7 access points provide robust wireless connectivity.
The unified system is managed via a cloud dashboard, offering centralized control, real-time monitoring, and immediate event review. "For the first time, we have total visibility," commented the Lead Pastor. "If something happens anywhere on our property, we can see it, isolate it, and respond immediately. That level of clarity is invaluable."
AI-Driven Campus Security

The church has begun utilizing AI analytics for event detection, vehicle tracking, and customizable alerts. Leadership plans to further expand their use of AI capabilities to include human activity detection, complex scenario interpretation, movement trend analysis, and enhanced after-hours oversight. These advancements aim to bolster campus safety significantly.
EnGenius Cloud AI transforms security by minimizing common surveillance challenges like false alerts and slow investigations. It provides real-time intelligence and natural language search functionality, eliminating the need for tedious manual video review. Instead of sifting through timelines, users can enter descriptive queries, such as "person in a red hoodie with a black backpack," to instantly locate relevant footage.
Key Features of EnGenius Cameras
The ECC100 camera offers several advanced features, including 5MP HDR clarity aided by a Sony Starvis sensor for crisp visuals day and night. Its ultra-wide coverage spans a 132-degree view and 20m IR distance, suitable for various environments. The camera supports continuous and event recording with 256GB of onboard storage, eliminating the need for external NVR systems. Built to endure harsh conditions, it boasts IP67 weatherproof and IK10 vandal-resistant ratings and supports cloud and mobile monitoring for management anytime, anywhere.
Roger Liu, Executive Vice President at EnGenius Technologies, highlighted the system's ability to analyze contextual sequences, allowing for preventive alerts before incidents occur. This capability aids in identifying and addressing potential issues, such as loitering, conflicts, or worker fatigue, before they escalate.
The ECC100 AI Camera is available through EnGenius' authorized resellers and distribution partners, representing a step forward in intelligent surveillance solutions.

Meet the AI that turns video into insight
Ever spent hours scrubbing through video just to find one five-second moment? With EnGenius Cloud AI, those days are over. It eliminates the biggest headaches of traditional surveillance—false alerts, slow investigations, and endless manual review—by delivering real-time intelligence and natural language search. Instead of generic motion notifications, the system interprets what it sees, recognizing behaviors with context so the team receives fewer false alarms and earlier warnings when something seems off.
And when it’s time to find footage, there’s no need to dig through timelines—simply enter a description like “person in a red hoodie with a black backpack,” and the system instantly retrieves the precise clips from any camera or location. This smarter, context-aware approach helps staff work faster, respond with confidence, and stay focused on what matters most. More than a camera system, it’s a smart security assistant that makes investigations faster, simpler, and far more effective.
