Board approves camera upgrade at Murphysboro Middle School to improve video quality
Summary
The school board approved a camera replacement quote for Murphysboro Middle School to upgrade to higher-quality cameras compatible with the district's Avigilon software, citing lag and coverage gaps in certain areas.
The Murphysboro CUSD 186 Board of Education approved a quote to replace and upgrade cameras at Murphysboro Middle School, moving to higher-quality cameras compatible with the district's Avigilon video-management software.
Why it matters: District staff said the middle school has numerous camera locations with differing quality and some lag in the system; higher-quality cameras will be installed in high-utilization areas to improve coverage and forensic value.
Details: Administrators said the middle school currently has roughly 80 cameras and plans include replacing 46 cameras with higher-quality models; the high school camera upgrades were completed the prior year and the district plans smaller upgrades at the two elementary schools as needed in future summers. The board approved the motion without recorded opposition.
Next steps: Administration will move forward with the quoted replacement and report back on installation timelines.
