The need for safety is universal in today's society. Surveillance has emerged as an important tool in the fight against terrorism and other forms of criminality in a world that is increasingly seen as unpredictable and unsafe. Sharing information amongst security organisations during a crisis is vital to saving lives and avoiding mishaps. There has been a public outcry to the University government at Modibbo Adama University (MAU), Yola, seeking immediate answers to the rising crime rate. The institution has tried many different manual security protocols in an effort to protect its students, faculty, and staff, but none of them have worked. The norm recently has been armed robbery, among other crimes. IP surveillance systems deployed on the ground, in light of this, can plug these security holes. IP surveillance on the ground is a system of cameras placed strategically around public areas with the purpose of recording and analysing video of the activities taking place there. IP cameras are integrated into the network's design alongside routers and switches to capture high-quality digital video. The designer gathers information through observation and direct contact with the target audience. The designed IP Surveillance system is subdivided into sub-management units, providing flexible, scalable, and cost-effective solutions suitable for Local Area Networks (LAN). With IP-based video surveillance, security personnel can monitor and record video remotely via a sub-LAN network arrangement. The network was simulated using a packet tracer machine to ensure the scanner's and camera's connectivity. IP surveillance offers many benefits previously unavailable with analogue Closed-Circuit Television systems.
