How Dealer Custom Connections Used Hikvision Solutions to Help Kettering College Facilitate Remote Learning
In our latest case study, we explored how Hikvision’s advanced technology improved Kettering College’s remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic with expertise from Ohio-based Hikvision dealer, Custom Connections Audio Video. Read on to take a closer look at how our mini dome cameras, NVRs, and more provided students with hands-on experience and real-life scenarios for their careers.
Kettering College, a private healthcare institution in Ohio, partnered with Custom Connections Audio Video to enhance its nursing education program through Hikvision's advanced technology by sharing lab-based learning and medical simulations with students in classrooms and remotely.
Kettering’s nursing labs feature individual bays with beds, where professors would use a mechanical mannequin to simulate various patient conditions, such as low blood pressure. These were captured using seven Hikvision 4 MP AcuSense Fixed Mini Dome Network Cameras and embedded plug-and-play NVR systems transmitted to a central control room.
Custom Connections used HDMI splitters to send live views to 4K monitors, enabling live video and audio to be shared with a virtual classroom and remote students. Professors could also control the NVR using a wireless mouse for flexibility in the operation. For the Accelerated Nursing Program, a two-way communication system was implemented to split the audio to all seven cameras so remote students could watch and hear the simulations in real time.
“Our decades of experience with audio/video, paired with the quality of Hikvision’s cameras and NVRs, helped Kettering College’s Accelerated Nursing Department deliver high-quality remote learning during the pandemic and beyond. In addition, it gave staff and students the flexibility to learn in multiple environments,” said Mark Crumbacher, the owner of Custom Connections. Additionally, the use of the YuJa video capture tool enhanced student feedback and assessment, providing a valuable resource for students to review and improve their performance.
These combined efforts and technologies led to a more effective and efficient learning experience for Kettering College nursing students. To learn more about how Hikvision can aid you in security solutions and remote options, visit our website.
