This document discusses how video surveillance and audio recording on educational campuses can prevent, protect, and prosecute. It notes several campus crimes that occurred between 2007-2012. Surveillance has improved due to greater analytics capabilities at lower costs, better alerting and access through mobile devices, and expectations of being recorded in public. Audio recording can provide added security for areas like campus security, central reception, and admissions offices. The document argues that surveillance protects students, faculty, and visitors, prevents crime and litigation, and allows prosecution of offenders if necessary.
