A Growing Ministry Held Back by a Legacy System

Lakepointe Church is a growing multi-campus ministry based in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, serving tens of thousands of attendees each weekend across multiple locations. From large congregations and active children’s programs to busy parking lots and entry points, every campus carries the same responsibility: creating a safe, welcoming environment for everyone who walks through its doors.

As the organization expanded, that responsibility became harder to manage with the systems in place. The existing camera infrastructure was outdated, footage was sometimes missing when it mattered most, and the platform had gaps that couldn’t be patched. Instead of enabling the team, it was slowing them down, forcing IT to spend more time maintaining the system than improving it. And with every new campus, those challenges only multiplied.

Scalability quickly became the breaking point. For a ministry responsible for the safety of thousands of people every weekend, a system that couldn’t grow alongside the organization wasn’t sustainable. Lakepointe needed a platform built for how modern, multi-site organizations actually operate—cloud-based, AI-powered, camera-agnostic, and designed to scale with them.

A Cloud-Based, AI-Powered Platform That Works With What's Already in Place

As Lakepointe’s security and IT leaders evaluated options, they weren’t looking for a slightly better camera system. They needed a platform that could turn the cameras they already had into something intelligent and scale with the ministry without becoming a new project every time a campus opened.

Coram stood out for a few specific reasons:

  • Works with existing cameras: No rip-and-replace, no wasted capital, and no disruption to weekend services
  • Centralized, cloud-based visibility: One platform to monitor every campus, accessible from anywhere by the right teams
  • AI built in, not bolted on: Real-time threat detection, weapon detection, and intelligent video search
  • Designed for multi-campus scale: Adding a new location is simple—no rebuilding infrastructure
  • A true partner: Ongoing support and a collaborative approach that aligned with Lakepointe’s team

Smarter Security That Scales With Every New Campus

With Coram in place, Lakepointe moved from passive monitoring to active, real-time protection. What was once a fragmented system is now a unified platform used daily by IT, security, and leadership across every campus.

What Changed

  • Threats are detected in real time: AI surfaces activity the moment it matters—no waiting for someone to notice
  • Weapons are identified early: Automated alerts provide critical time to respond before situations escalate
  • Vehicles are tracked automatically: License plate recognition adds visibility across parking lots
  • Investigations happen in seconds: Teams search footage using natural language instead of scrubbing video
  • Operations are centrally managed: Video walls and remote access provide full situational awareness
  • New campuses come online instantly: Consistent tools, policies, and visibility wherever Lakepointe grows

The difference is most visible in critical moments. Investigations that once required digging through incomplete footage are now resolved in seconds. Real-time detection adds a proactive layer of protection, while centralized visibility gives them a clear picture of what’s happening across every campus.

Beyond efficiency, Coram delivers something more important: confidence that scales. Every new campus, every service, every gathering operates with the same level of visibility and protection—giving leadership, staff, and families peace of mind.
