Schools and campuses, answered.
What can a video management system do for schools and campuses?
Iron VMS shows every camera live, records on your own server and watches each camera for what matters in schools and campuses: Counter or desk unattended; Classroom without an adult; Workers on site, headcount; After-hours intrusion. In all, 69 use cases across 6 packs switch on for schools and campuses.
Will it work with the CCTV cameras we already have?
Yes. Iron works with any IP camera or NVR that speaks RTSP or ONVIF. Existing NVRs keep recording while Iron adds live view, search, AI and alerts.
Does our video leave the premises?
No. Iron runs on a server you own, as a Windows, Linux or macOS service. AI can run on site too; cloud models are optional.
How do we get alerted?
Every alarm becomes an incident with its clip and goes to whoever is on shift on WhatsApp, SMS, email or a webhook, escalating if nobody acknowledges it.
How many of these are ready today?
21 of the 69 use cases for schools and campuses are proven on real footage and ready now; the rest are validating, rolling out or in pilot, and each card on this page says which.
