“Setup was very easy. Just turn it on, register, and it’s ready to go.”
— Gustavo Esquivel, IT Technician, Le Grand Union High School District
Before Coram (Challenge)
Le Grand Union High School’s legacy VMS worked, until it didn’t meet the growing security needs of the district.
The IT team needed to:
- Enable real-time access for law enforcement during emergencies
- Integrate Halo smart sensors for vape and environmental detection
- Reduce the friction of sharing video clips internally and externally
“We had to provide the police with a link or some way to access our cameras, and we couldn’t do that through Axis. That’s when we started looking for something new.”
The Switch to Coram
After evaluating multiple cloud-based VMS platforms, the team chose Coram for its flexibility, affordability, and integration potential.
“We went with Coram because of the free cameras. We can get them for the lifetime of the subscription. It saved us a lot of money.”
Beyond cost savings, the open architecture and sensor integrations made Coram the ideal fit.
“We were also looking to implement Halo sensors, so the built-in integration was another big plus.”
Setup took minutes, not days:
“Setup was very easy — just turned it on, registered, and it worked. Getting the cameras up was simple.”
When a compatibility issue arose with one camera brand, Coram’s support team quickly resolved it through a software update.
“We got a lot of help from Coram support when we couldn’t figure out that camera.”
Life With Coram (Results)
Today, Le Grand Union High School uses Coram to manage security more efficiently across its campus.
Key results:
- Secure clip sharing: “One of the best things was the clip sharing Before, we had to download files and upload them again to Google Drive or USB.”
- Fast law enforcement coordination: Police can now be granted secure, instant access to relevant video feeds.
Easy management across mixed hardware: Coram integrates smoothly with both existing Axis and Avigilon cameras as well as new Coram units. - Sensor-driven insights: Halo integration provides a more proactive layer of detection.
Why Coram?
- Cloud-based, camera-agnostic platform, with no rip-and-replace required
- Simple setup and deployment, live in minutes
Secure clip sharing and external access links - Native Halo integration for environmental and vaping alerts
- Responsive support that resolves technical issues quickly
- Significant cost savings through included cameras
Recommendation
When asked how he’d describe Coram to others, Esquivel didn’t hesitate:
“I’d probably just compare it to Verkada: it’s a better version. With Coram, you don’t have to tear down and rebuild everything. It’s more flexible, more affordable, and works with what you already have.”
