The staffing reality

More campus, same size team.

Most campuses have far more cameras than people to watch them. VOLT works like extra eyes for the team you have.

Every alert is checked by a trained person before it reaches your officers or dispatchers, so your team spends time responding, not watching screens.

What VOLT notices on campus

The moments that matter across campus.

From residence halls to game day, VOLT notices situations that need a person, and never tries to know who someone is.

Medical emergencies

Someone down in a residence hall, library or parking lot, noticed and checked quickly.

Fights and conflicts

Scuffles noticed early so staff can step in before they escalate.

After-hours access

Someone in a lab, residence hall or building when it should be closed.

Theft and vandalism

Property damage and break-ins flagged with the footage your team needs.

Event and athletics crowd flow

Crowds building at entrances and concourses on game day or at big events.

Weapon alerts, verified by people

Rare, serious moments, confirmed by a trained person before anyone is alerted.

Built for your IT review

Ready for security review from day one.

VOLT fits the systems your campus already runs, with the documentation your IT security team will ask for.

Works with Genetec and other VMS

Connects to 200+ camera brands over RTSP and the video systems you already use.

SAML single sign-on

What VOLT does

Looks for situations, not people

  • Notices someone down, a fight, after-hours access or a visible weapon

  • Camera-use policy template
  • Student FAQ

Campus stories

Extra eyes for the team you have.

Campuses use VOLT to cover more ground without building a 24/7 camera operations center.

Because we don’t have someone watching cameras 24/7, VOLT’s real-time alerts are a game-changer.

Running on its existing Genetec cameras within days, without the complete overhaul, approaching $1.4M, that other vendors required.

UC Law San Francisco

Six buildings in San Francisco’s Tenderloin, starting with the highest-priority areas and expanding from there.

Open campus, one map

Every building on one live map.

When help is needed, your team and responders see where on a 3D map of your campus. If a reviewer verifies a threat, VOLT follows its movement across cameras and updates the map, without identifying anyone.
