Culver City Schools Integrate Their Security Systems
CCUSD has replaced its outdated analog surveillance system with new IP video and access controls.
Culver City’s five elementary schools, middle school, high school, continuation school and adult school now have a single, integrated security system.
Ted Yant, a former member of the Culver City Police Department currently serves as the security supervisor for the CUlver City Unified School District and its 7,500 students.
According to a report on Campus Safety, Yant decided to upgrade the district’s 10-year-old analog system with sophisticated surveillance technology for all of the campuses.

To help pay for the more than $60,000 system, CCUSD received a grant from its insurance company.
"It cost us less to install cameras and Gateways at the sites than we lost in computers," Yant told Campus Safety, referring to a series of break ins at the high school where $15,000 worth of iMac’s were stolen.
