Additionally, external camera upgrades are necessary to enhance surveillance capabilities around the building premises, including the parking lot area.</span></p><p style=\"margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">The SOE office currently has 15 cameras, and the PA office has 4 cameras, operating on separate Network Video Recorders (NVRs). The existing systems lack the required camera quality, coverage, and integration capabilities.</span></p><p style=\"margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">The key objectives for the security camera system upgrade at the JT Walls building are as follows:</span></p><p style=\"margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">1. Enhance coverage: Provide comprehensive surveillance coverage for both interior and exterior areas, including the parking lot. External cameras should have zooming capabilities to identify individuals at the far side of the parking lot.</span></p><p style=\"margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">2. Improve video quality: Upgrade camera resolution and image quality to ensure clear and detailed video footage for identification and incident investigation purposes.</span></p><p style=\"margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">3. Address security vulnerabilities: Identify and address existing security vulnerabilities within the building premises by strategically placing cameras in key locations.</span></p><p style=\"margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">4. Provide information to additional personnel: Enable authorized personnel within the SOE and PA offices to access camera feeds and recordings, improving situational awareness and response capabilities.</span></p><p style=\"margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">5. Consolidate systems: Consolidate the separate SOE and PA camera systems into a single unified system, maintaining separate administrative privileges for specific cameras based on their locations. Shared privileges should be available for common areas.</span></p><p style=\"margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">6. Integration with access control and alarm systems: Enable integration of the camera system with the existing Lenel access control system and potential integration with the burglar alarm system in the future, creating a comprehensive and integrated security solution.</span></p><p style=\"margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Preferred camera configuration is fixed lens, with the possibility of utilizing fisheye, wide-angle, or multi-lens cameras based on specific location requirements.</span></p><p style=\"margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">By fulfilling these objectives and requirements, the upgraded security camera system at the JT Walls building will enhance overall security measures, improve video quality and coverage, and provide a unified and scalable solution for the future.</span></p><p style=\"margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">OBJECTIVES:</span></p><p style=\"margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">The primary objectives of the security camera system upgrade at the JT Walls building are as follows:</span></p><p style=\"margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">a. Enhance coverage: Install cameras at employee entrances/stairwells on the east and west sides of the building to address coverage gaps. Pay special attention to the main entrance, identified as a vulnerable area requiring enhanced coverage to deter and identify hostile individuals attempting to gain entry.</span></p><p style=\"margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">b. Administrative privileges and access: Implement a user access hierarchy that grants administrator-level privileges to senior/executive-level employees for managing and controlling the camera system. Lower-level employees should have view-only access for situational awareness.</span></p><p style=\"margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">c. Specific camera views for PA and SOE: Provide the Property Appraiser (PA) office with access to view cameras on the 2nd floor, external cameras, and relevant common areas. Enable the Supervisor of Elections (SOE) office to view cameras on the 1st and 3rd floors, external cameras, and specific common areas relevant to their operations.</span></p><p style=\"margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">d. Integration with access control and security systems: Ensure future integration with the Lenel access control system, allowing camera feeds to be viewed when individuals badge in at doors with card readers. Additionally, integrate with the security system to initiate recording when the security system receives an alert, enhancing incident response capabilities.</span></p><p style=\"margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">e. Network and remote access: Establish a dedicated network for the camera system to ensure secure and reliable connectivity. Enable remote access capabilities for authorized personnel to view camera feeds and manage the system remotely.</span></p><p style=\"margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">f. Scalability and future expansion: Design the system to accommodate future expansion and scalability. The system should integrate with cameras from multiple brands (non-proprietary) and support increased storage capacity as additional cameras are added to maintain the required 90-day storage period.</span></p><p style=\"margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">By achieving these objectives, the security camera system upgrade at the JT Walls building will enhance coverage, address security vulnerabilities, provide specific camera views for respective offices, enable integration with access control and security systems, ensure secure network and remote access, and offer scalability for future expansion.</span></p>",
