Alibi Security and its partners power Hyde Park Schools with hi-tech solution

AUSTIN, Texas—Alibi Security, Actuate, Eagle Eye Networks and Dyezz Security have helped Hyde Park Schools redefine how campuses detect and respond to threats with a fully integrated AI security ecosystem. 

The ecosystem leverages cutting-edge AI analytics and cloud-based infrastructure to deliver proactive threat detection, real-time response, and centralized management. The result: a scalable, intelligent safety solution that redefines how schools approach campus protection. 

“Creating the safest school environments starts with embracing the best tools available today,” said Christopher Coy, EdD, head of Hyde Park Schools. 

The technology behind the transformation 

Alibi Security provided the backbone of the system with high-resolution, AI-enabled surveillance cameras deployed across both campuses. These cameras integrate seamlessly with: 

• Actuate’s AI Weapon Detection: Embedded directly into Alibi’s cameras, Actuate’s analytics enable real-time firearm detection and instant alerts, allowing for rapid lockdowns and immediate law enforcement engagement. 

• Eagle Eye Networks’ Cloud VMS: The cloud-based video surveillance platform offers secure video backup, license plate recognition, disaster recovery, and remote access for 24/7 monitoring and incident response. 

• Brivo Access Control: Integrated through Alibi’s ecosystem, Brivo’s cloud-based access control system provides mobile credentials, remote management, and emergency alarms to streamline access and emergency response. 

Dyezz Security, a trusted local integrator, ensured seamless deployment and integration across Hyde Park’s lower (Speedway) and upper (Quarries) campuses. 

“The integration of analytics within the customer’s video management platform enables significantly fewer people to manage the applications which are fast becoming everyday requirements for schools,” said Ken Francis, CEO of Actuate. 

From reactive to proactive 

Previously reliant on traditional surveillance, Hyde Park Schools sought a more proactive approach in response to growing concerns over school shootings, unauthorized access and emergency preparedness. The new system empowers campus security officers and on-site law enforcement with real-time situational awareness and automated threat response. 

The AI-powered ecosystem now enables: 

• Automated lockdowns triggered by weapon detection 

• Instant alerts to first responders and school officials 

• Centralized video and access control management 

• Enhanced daily safety operations without overhauling existing infrastructure 

A safer school community 

By integrating AI-driven surveillance, real-time weapon detection, and cloud-based video management, Hyde Park is shifting from reactive security to a fully proactive, intelligent safety ecosystem. 

“With AI-enabled cameras, smart access control, and real-time emergency integrations, we're not just reacting to threats - we're being proactive,” Coy concluded.
