Title
A Resolution Approving the Purchase of a Surveillance Video Data Storage Appliance
Summary
Description of Topic: The City has been operating off of the current surveillance system for ten years. Over the last ten years, several cameras have been added to our network and several more have been replaced or upgraded with cameras that are capable of additional views and higher quality resolution. However, our data storage capacity has proven to be a limiting factor for the camera resolution that we are able to actually utilize, as well as limiting the number of days of footage we are able to retain before it is overwritten. This appliance will allow us to utilize more of the resolution that our cameras are capable of capturing and allow us to retain the footage for longer periods of time.
