Campus begins updating security cameras (Nov. 15, 2012) - 0 views

The newer cameras can count the number of objects or people, including tracking motion through an exit – going the right or wrong way.

he biggest impact, though, comes from the clarity of images, upgrading from fuzzy, black-and-white pictures to high-definition color.

“Really good pictures have helped us solve a lot of crimes -- identity theft, people stealing things inside buildings, or break-ins to the residence halls,” says Banuelos. “You can’t cover it up, because we have the video footage.”

University of Wisconsin at Madison has partnered up with Physical Plant and the UW police department to upgrade their security system. Instead of the traditional hardwired cameras the university has switched to wireless cameras which should offer more benefits. The wireless cameras will allow all the cameras to be seen at one location instead of at the specific buildings or nearby locations. The new cameras are now color instead of black and white and have a highly upgraded motion sensor compared to the old ones. I think these cameras will help the university and help them bring the crime rate down around campus.
