Getting Started with VOLT AI: Your Implementation Journey
for K-12 Public Schools
Every second matters when it comes to safety, which is why we've designed our implementation process to be thorough yet efficient. This guide walks you through what to expect when deploying VOLT AI's intelligent video surveillance system, ensuring you're prepared for a smooth transition to enhanced security.
Understanding the Pre-Deployment Phase
Before we begin the technical implementation, we'll work with you to gather crucial information that ensures optimal deployment. This initial phase is foundational to your success with VOLT AI, allowing us to configure your system precisely for your environment.
Key information we'll need includes:
- Number and locations of your facilities
- Camera count per facility
- Network infrastructure details
- Bandwidth specifications
- Any special security requirements or technical considerations
This preparation phase typically takes 3-5 days, depending on the complexity of your environment and how quickly we can gather the necessary information.
Starting with a Pilot Program
Most organizations begin their VOLT AI journey with a pilot program, allowing them to experience the full capabilities of our system in a controlled environment. This approach helps ensure the perfect fit between our technology and your security needs.
During the pilot phase, we'll:
- Select a specific area or subset of cameras for initial deployment
- Implement core security features tailored to your needs
- Demonstrate real-time detection capabilities
- Provide hands-on experience with the platform
- Collect feedback for optimization
- Measure and document security improvements
The pilot typically runs for a defined period, during which you'll see firsthand how VOLT AI transforms your existing camera infrastructure into an intelligent security system. This phase allows your team to validate the technology's effectiveness while we fine-tune the system to your specific requirements.
Implementation: A Collaborative Approach
The implementation phase is where your enhanced security solution begins to take shape. We've designed this phase to be collaborative, ensuring both your team and ours have clear responsibilities and timelines.
Your team will handle:
- Providing detailed floor plans

Meanwhile, our team focuses on:
- Creating your facility's digital twin through precise mapping
- Configuring and shipping your edge device
- Conducting thorough system checks
- Adding cameras to the VOLT portal
- Placing cameras accurately on your facility maps
- Scheduling comprehensive training sessions
- Initial portal access setup
Through this carefully coordinated effort between your team and ours, we ensure a seamless integration that maximizes your existing security infrastructure while minimizing disruption to your operations. We’re here to help you through the entire process.
The COARSE Process: Your Foundation for Facility Security
At VOLT AI, we believe effective security should be sophisticated yet simple to manage. That's why we've developed COARSE - a straightforward approach that ensures your security system is fully operational and optimized. This methodical process covers three essential elements: Cameras Online, Applied Rules, and Set Escalations.
Cameras Online: Establishing Complete Visibility
The foundation of effective security starts with ensuring every camera in your facility is properly connected and streaming. Our system makes it simple to:
- Verify the operational status of all cameras
- Monitor connection quality in real-time
- Maintain 24/7 visibility across your entire facility
- Track camera health through our intuitive dashboard
This continuous monitoring ensures you never have blind spots in your security coverage.
Applied Rules: Customizing Your Security Protocol
Every facility has unique security needs, which is why we work with you to implement customized detection rules for different areas and scenarios. During this phase, we:
- Define specific rules for different zones within your facility
- Set up time-based monitoring parameters
- Configure rule thresholds to execute your specific strategy
- Implement specialized rules for sensitive areas
Whether you're monitoring entryways, securing restricted areas, or supervising common spaces, your rules will be precisely calibrated to your security requirements.
Set Escalations: Streamlining Emergency Response
Quick, appropriate responses to security incidents can make all the difference. Our escalation system ensures the right people are notified at the right time through:
- Customized notification workflows
- Multi-level escalation protocols
- Automated alert routing
- Integration with emergency response systems
- Real-time incident tracking and documentation
These escalation policies ensure that every incident, from medical emergencies to security breaches, receives an appropriate and timely response.
Making COARSE Work for You
Implementing effective security measures shouldn't be complicated. That's why our team works hand-in-hand with yours to ensure each component of COARSE is optimized for your specific environment and security needs. We take a methodical approach to configuration, ensuring your system delivers the protection you need from day one.
Our implementation team works closely with yours to optimize each component of COARSE for your specific needs:
- We'll help you verify camera positioning and coverage
- Together, we'll develop rules that align with your security priorities
- We'll configure escalation policies that match your response protocols
This systematic approach ensures no detail is overlooked as we prepare your system for active monitoring.
Training: Empowering Your Team
Success with VOLT AI begins with a thorough understanding of the system's capabilities. Our comprehensive training program is designed to empower your team with the knowledge and confidence they need to maximize the value of your security investment. Through focused sessions tailored to different roles, we ensure everyone from administrators to operators can effectively utilize our technology.
We provide two distinct training sessions to ensure your team can maximize the value of VOLT AI:
Administrator Training
Your system administrators are the cornerstone of an effective security operation. Through our specialized administrator training program, we equip these key team members with deep knowledge of VOLT AI's capabilities, ensuring they can configure and manage the system to meet your organization's unique security requirements.
- Complete system overview
- Rule configuration and management
- Zone creation and customization
- Escalation policy setup
- Best practices for system optimization
Our comprehensive administrator training ensures your team has the knowledge and confidence to manage your security system effectively, transforming your security capabilities from day one.
Operator Training
The daily effectiveness of your security system depends on the operators who monitor and respond to incidents. Our operator training focuses on the practical aspects of using VOLT AI, ensuring your front-line team members can confidently navigate the system and respond swiftly to any situation that arises.
- Daily system operation
- Incident response procedures
- Alert management
