Video conferencing equipment

You will need to purchase video conferencing equipment separately if you wish to use this feature of the SchoolZone service.

What you need

You need a TV screen and video conferencing unit for each location.

What it costs

You may already have at least some of the equipment you need. If not, you can expect to pay between $8,000 and $20,000 (as a rough guide) depending on the picture quality and functionality you require. Many suppliers offer leasing arrangements as well.
