case study
Raiden Technologies upgraded more than 40 CCTV cameras across the University of Sydney’s Camperdown campus for the University of Sydney Union (USU), in student hubs, cafés, retail and event spaces. Raiden now looks after USU’s CCTV, access control and intercom systems under a 3-year maintenance program.
Universities in Sydney can modernise campus security by upgrading to high-resolution 360° and multi-sensor CCTV, then keeping it compliant with a scheduled maintenance program. Raiden delivered both for the University of Sydney Union across Wentworth, Manning, Holme and other campus buildings.
Raiden delivered a multi-stage CCTV upgrade for the University of Sydney Union across the Wentworth Building, Manning House, the Holme Building, Fisher and Carslaw cafés, and Jane Foss Russell. The works installed and relocated more than 40 Hanwha Wisenet cameras, including 360° fisheye, dual-head and 180° panoramic models. They were followed by a 3-year preventative maintenance program covering 108 cameras plus USU’s access control and intercom systems.
USU’s ageing CCTV left gaps across busy student areas such as eateries, retail, entries, corridors and loading docks, and many cameras had poor fields of view or were obsolete. The upgrade had to be delivered across multiple live campus buildings, around operating kitchens and cafés, without disrupting students, staff or trading.
Raiden replaced, relocated and added cameras to the agreed security plan, installing Hanwha 360° and multi-sensor cameras, and Wisenet X-series domes. New cameras were cabled with Cat 6A back to local comms rooms, and redundant cameras were removed and plated. Raiden then put a 3-year bi-annual maintenance program in place covering cameras, NVR/VMS, network, UPS and cybersecurity compliance, along with USU’s access control and intercoms.
Security and electrical systems delivered on this project.
Hanwha QNF/XNF 360° cameras that can split into four de-warped views, covering large open spaces such as eateries, lounges and arcades.
Hanwha dual-head cameras covering the street in both directions, plus 180° cameras for wide entrances.
High-resolution domes for corridors, docks, cafés and retail areas, on brackets, hanging mounts and dropper poles.
450m+ of new Cat 6A cable run back to building comms rooms, with fire-rated penetrations.
3-year program: bi-annual servicing for priority cameras, annual for the rest, plus NVR/VMS, network and UPS checks.
Ongoing maintenance of USU’s access control and intercom systems alongside the CCTV.
USU now has modern, high-resolution CCTV coverage across its key student, retail and hospitality spaces, with fewer devices covering more area thanks to 360° and multi-sensor cameras. The ongoing maintenance program keeps the system reliable and compliant, and every visit produces an evidence pack, firmware review and recording audit.
Testimonial
““Raiden upgraded our CCTV across several busy buildings without disrupting students, staff or our food outlets. The new 360° cameras give us much better coverage with fewer devices, and the maintenance program means we know our cameras are recording, our storage is compliant and our systems are secure. They’re a reliable, responsive partner for our campus security.””

A mix. 360° fisheye and multi-sensor cameras cover large open spaces like eateries and lounges, while dome and panoramic cameras cover entries, corridors and docks. At the University of Sydney Union, Raiden used Hanwha Wisenet and AXIS cameras across all of these areas.
Yes, with careful staging. Raiden worked during business hours, sectioned off work areas with barricades, used platform ladders, and worked around kitchen staff and trading in USU’s cafés and retail outlets.
High-priority cameras are typically serviced every 6 months, and others every 12 months. USU’s program covers 45 cameras on a 6-monthly schedule and 63 on an annual schedule over three years.
Cleaning and focusing cameras, checking fields of view and analytics, and testing night mode and IR. It also covers checking network switches, PoE and UPS, auditing storage retention and recordings, updating firmware, testing exports and backups, and reviewing user access and passwords.
A single 360° camera covers an entire room and can be split into multiple de-warped views. It can often replace several fixed cameras, lowering hardware, cabling and maintenance costs.
