Project Overview
Daniel Miret led the design, installation, and integration of a state-of-the-art security system for a K-8 charter school spanning five buildings on an 8-acre campus. The upgrade, funded by government grants, included a 70-camera surveillance system, 22 access-controlled doors, AI-enabled security monitoring, and a campus-wide mass communication intercom and visual aid system. With strict budget, timeline, and audit requirements, Daniel ensured the project met compliance standards while delivering a secure and responsive environment for the school.
Objectives
1. Complete Surveillance Coverage: Install a 70-camera system to provide comprehensive security monitoring for the entire 8-acre campus.
2. Secure Access Control Implementation: Deploy access control for 22 critical entry points across the five buildings to restrict unauthorized access and enhance student safety.
3. AI-Enabled Security Monitoring: Integrate AI-based software to enhance situational awareness and support proactive threat detection.
4. Campus-Wide Communication Systems: Establish an intercom and visual aid system to facilitate emergency communication across all buildings.
5. Ensure Compliance with Grant Requirements: Manage the project within government-granted budget, meet deadlines, and comply with strict audit rules and oversight.
Solution & Execution
Daniel’s execution combined a rigorous approach to planning, compliance, and the implementation of cutting-edge technology. Key actions included:
1. Strategic Camera Deployment: Positioned 70 high-definition cameras to cover all critical areas across the campus, including building entrances, playgrounds, parking lots, and corridors, ensuring full visibility.
2. Access Control Integration: Installed 22 access control doors at main entry points, administrative areas, and other sensitive locations, providing secure access management and real-time logging.
3. AI-Driven Security Software: Integrated AI-enabled security software to analyze video feeds, detect potential threats, and send real-time alerts, improving response times and reducing manual monitoring.
4. Mass Communication System Setup: Installed a comprehensive intercom and visual aid communication system throughout the campus, enabling efficient mass communication during emergencies or important announcements.
5. Grant Compliance and Audit Management: Adhered to the budget and project timeline, keeping thorough documentation to meet government audit requirements and provide transparency at each project phase.
