Building an Enterprise Class Surveillance System

Do it yourself:

Joel WilbanksInformation Systems DirectorCraighead County Sheriff’s Department and Detention Center

Agenda

• Why?• Budget • Timeline• Requirements• Construction• What’s Next?• Advice• Question

Why build surveillance

• Safety of all occupants is the primary goal of a detention facility.

• It serves as an unbiased witness to all events so that justice can better be served

Why did we do it in-house

• Knowledge that the requirements were grater then our funding

• If the cost was not within our budget then the project would have been halted

Building it ourselves

Advantages:• Our timetable• We understand our needs

better then anyone• 24/7/365 support is inherent• We have total control

Built by a vendor

Disadvantages:• Would not have used Pelco:

– Less scalability– Disparate control and

integration• Would not have been installed

the way we wanted it.• Security concerns• Additional cost

Budget

Requested by vendor $380,000

Approved budget $120,000

Difference $260,000

Other funds $40,000

Total Savings $220,000

Requirements

• Replacement of all coax cable with CAT5e to a central location

• Central primary control– Department based control– Independent from recording system

• Remote computer control– Web, desktop, PDA

• Digital Video Recorder– Appliance based– Audio recording

• Extreme Upgradeability• High availability (24x7)

CCTV vs. IP

• Why was an IP solution not considered?– At the time IP was in it’s infancy

and did not offer the scalability required on our budget

– Reuse of current hardware

• But the integration and migration to an IP solution was planned

Construction – Cameras

• Create a map of your facility and what direction the cameras should be facing for the desired view

• Measure the actual dimensions of each view to calculate the lenses required– http://

www.pelco.com/support/tools/lenscalc.aspx

Cameras

• Pan, Tilt, Zoom (PTZ)– 4 programmable patterns with

8 zones within the camera– 23 x optical and 10 x digital

zoom– Window Blanking

• Stationary– Explosion proof enclosures– High resolution

System resilience

• Power failure– All circuits are wired to the on-

site generator– Network, clients, and

surveillance system have battery backup for a max of 2hrs

• Device failure– If the matrix hardware fails then

the DVRs will still record• 6 Weeks of archived video

(~2.4TB)

Pelco support

• 100% satisfaction guaranteed!

• Less then 1 min on hold at anytime for any product without a contract

• The most helpful and knowledgeable support I have ever had the pleasure of receiving

What’s Next?

• Convergence of CCTV and IP technologies– Allows for the monitoring of remote

substations across the county• Addition of night vision PTZ

cameras on the perimeter with 1 strand fiber

• Implementation of a microcontroller for emergency recording

• Addition of 2 subsections for a total of 122 cameras

Advice

• Clear about 4 months off your calendar if you are ambitious enough to do this by yourself

• Use 3 part crimp-on BNC connectors for your jumper cables (~$2 ea.)

• Use a uniform color for your cabling

• Make sure the shipper closed the door to his truck

• Use patch panels with punch down blocks
