Mobotix CCTV solution protects Huntcliff School staff and pupils from vandalism
A Mobotix CCTV solution is helping to protect the safety of students, staff and property at Huntcliff School in North Lincolnshire. The installation of the exterior monitoring system has completely eliminated vandalism perpetrated by interlopers onto the 12 acre site following a number of instances last year which cost the school over £20,000 in damages and threatened to dramatically increase insurance premiums.
Huntcliff School is a community secondary co-educational comprehensive school for pupils aged 11-16, near the rural town of Kirton-in-Lindsey.

Shipments of wireless M2M modules for security applications in Europe expected to grow to 22 million by 2014
Vehicle tracking and recovery is a major application area for wireless M2M communication in the security industry.
