I would personally like to brag on LaTech, their personnel, and the
systems that they recommended and put into service at Parkview Baptist
Church & School... We had other bidders to weigh into our considerations,
but elected for a multitude of reasons, including price, to award
to LaTech.
They present themselves as professionals with solid, workable recommendations,
and help spot/position/& aim the cameras to suit our needs. Understanding
that we have over 2,000 students, several buildings accommodating
nursery/bed babies, through 12th grade. There are 7 carpools throughout
the campus, some making 4+ passes a day. Also there are several playgrounds
and multiple Entrance/Exits to all buildings. This requires much forethought
and planning.
Ultimately we placed 5 DVR's in secure locations with a total of 80
cameras in strategic locations covering all of the above. This has
proven to be a good investment as far as vandals & thefts, but
the most important benefit has to do with the very real liability
of having the responsibility of that many children. Another hidden
benefit is the awareness of the security as parents weigh the benefits
of various schools for their children.
Now that we have installed the systems, we have added armed security
from 6:AM to 10:PM as a compliment to our already exemplary security
program. In addition, we added a 5 year service contract which gives
us updates to software as they are made, as well as ready service
if a component goes on the blink!
Anyone making considerations of such a system is welcomed to contact
me concerning LaTech or the systems they sell and install, as well
as service. Please feel free to phone 225/293-2820.
Sincerely;
Gene Carney
