Purchase of Infrastructure Equipment to Support Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) Cameras for the Police Department (Citywide)
The Police Department, Information Technology Division is requesting the purchase of infrastructure items in support of the CCTV upgrade project. Items needed include switching equipment to connect the cameras to the network, dedicated servers to process the video streams, and storage to retain video recordings. The current video recording solution is analog and fragmented between multiple manufacturers. A conversion to an enterprise video management system will resolve the current inconsistencies and offer centralized management of video recordings.
The Police and Information Technology Departments, and Purchasing recommend authorizing the purchase using the City of Tucson cooperative contract with CDW-G, at $53,863.88. This purchase is funded by the 2015 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant.
