EnGenius Technologies Inc. has unveiled a significant security and network overhaul at Crossroads Church in Rowlett, Texas. The project saw the church’s premises modernised with the installation of EnGenius AI cameras, multigigabit switches, and Wi-Fi 7 access points.
This comprehensive update ensures enhanced visibility across the 30,000-square-foot building and 15-acre campus, thereby improving safety for staff, volunteers, and visitors.
Crossroads Church, accommodating over 1,200 members and offering a range of activities such as worship services and daycare, experienced challenges with its outdated surveillance system.
The older NVR-based system was insufficient in eliminating blind spots and lacked necessary clarity and storage for effective monitoring. The church’s Executive Pastor highlighted the need for reliable monitoring, especially for families trusting the church with their children, noting that the previous system was inadequate.
Partnering with Smart Technology Solutions, Crossroads Church adopted a full-scale update revolving around EnGenius cloud-managed technology. The setup includes:
● 57 EnGenius ECC100 AI surveillance cameras offering thorough indoor and outdoor surveillance.
● Multi-gig ECS2552FP and ECS2528FP switches enabling high-capacity video and supporting campus-wide online activities.
● 12 EnGenius ECW536 Wi-Fi 7 access points ensuring robust wireless connectivity for internal operations.
● A comprehensive cloud dashboard for centralised management and real-time monitoring.
The Lead Pastor praised the increased visibility, stating that the church now has the capacity to identify and respond immediately if situations arise on their property. Introducing AI analytics features such as event detection and vehicle tracking, Crossroads Church is exploring EnGenius AI’s potential for recognising human activity and monitoring trends, which further enhances their security capabilities.
This smart interpretation reduces false alerts and speeds up investigations by focusing only on relevant incidents. A description-based search functionality simplifies video review, enabling easy footage retrieval for specific search terms, like “person in a red hoodie with a black backpack”.
The ECC100 AI cameras include several advanced features, such as 5MP HDR clarity from a Sony Starvis sensor for clear visuals, ultra-wide coverage, onboard storage with 256GB capacity for continuous monitoring, and durable construction for various external conditions.
The cameras also support seamless cloud access and mobile management.
The new AI Cloud Surveillance Solution and ECC100 AI Camera elevate intelligent security capabilities, a point highlighted by Roger Liu, Executive Vice President at EnGenius Technologies. Liu noted the system’s ability to assess contextual information to issue preventative alerts, a game-changer in addressing potential security risks before they escalate.
