New cameras with upgraded security software debut in Henrico schools

Henrico County Public Schools officials have installed new, improved security cameras in many of their middle and high schools – leading to privacy concerns from some parents and organizations.

The new cameras will allow administrators to search through footage for a certain predefined image – such as a particular student’s face, clothing, or backpack – in order to identify people without rewinding and fast-forwarding through footage to identify them visually.
