Colleges and Universities take matters of campus security very seriously. Every campus has a significant number of blue light/emergency phones located around the school property. Some of these phone locations also include security cameras that allow the caller to be seen by someone at the response center. As new technology becomes available and security gets more scrutiny, many schools are updating their systems. This can include the installation of VoIP security phones as well as IP cameras.
