<strong>IP</strong>-in-Action<strong><strong>IP</strong>focus</strong>Norbain provides cost-effectivesurveillance for Repton Prep SchoolHidden away in the quiet Derbyshire countryside,Repton Preparatory School has recently benefittedfrom a CCTV solution to support its Access Controlsystem - both supplied by Norbain and installed bySpectre UK Ltd.A boarding and day school for 450 boys and girlsaged 3 to 13, Repton School enjoys an enviablereputation. Providing a comfortable and reassuringenvironment in which to learn, Repton PreparatorySchool had previously deployed a Paxton AccessControl system, to ensure controlled access to theschool's buildings.Installed by Spectre UK Ltd, the system proved sosuccessful that the school was keen to complement itwith a CCTV camera network, to provide additionalsecurity and further reassurance for both pupils andstaff."Having experienced their expertise andprofessionalism with the Access Control project, weonce again turned to Spectre UK Ltd," explainsRichard Fletcher, Bursar for Repton PreparatorySchool. "After technical liaison and site visits, Spectrespecified a package of the latest CCTV technology,designed to meet our security and budgetrequirements.""With a 54-acre site consisting of listed buildings, vastgrounds and a public right of way running through it,specifying and installing the correct technology was atechnical challenge," adds Judith Clarke, OperationsManager for Spectre UK Ltd.
