Surveillance Camera Systems for Correctional Institutions

Nearly 1 in 100 people in the United States are currently imprisoned in one of the thousands of correctional facilities across the country, and that number is rising every year. The United States government spent over $35 billion dollars on direct expenditures for criminal and civil justice in 2007, state governments spent more than $65 billion dollars and local governments spent nearly $105 billion. It's estimated that the cost of maintaining and operating prisons and jails has grown 5.5% each year for the past 15 years. As the operation costs of the prisons increase the population continues to steadily increase as well, compounding the problem.

A high-tech CCTV Correctional Grade Security Camera System can alleviate the budgetary constraints that the administrators of these correctional facilities face year to year. More cameras on the walls and ceilings means less feet on the ground. The more you can see and hear in your facility, the more control you have over everything that happens inside. Infrared cameras mounted outside the facility can give you complete visibility at night regardless of the lighting conditions in the area.

Another benefit to having more eyes in your facility is to provide liability protection. A network of security cameras routed centrally to a Digital Video Recorder using GeoVision Surveillance Camera software can automatically record and timestamp movement in a designated area, greatly increasing the ease with which correctional officers can piece together inmate incidents.

You can specifically put Security Cameras in Jail Cells, interview rooms, and dispatcher windows. See our Security Cameras in Jail Cells page for more information.
