Education: CCTV brings double benefits for Cornwall College

Two leading-edge CCTV systems are being used on campus at Cornwall College, but their purposes could not be more different. One network is helping minimise security risks, while the other records images of fish, insects and sea life.

New cameras and recorders have been installed by Truro-based Perspective CCTV to boost security at five sites including a wildlife conservation centre alongside Newquay Zoo and the College�s headquarters at John Keay House in St Austell. Discussing the installation with academic staff led to a realisation that CCTV could also be used to great effect in the classroom.
