County approves $111,065 purchase to replace aging security cameras
Summary
The commissioners approved a FY25-funded purchase of replacement cameras from Skyline Technology Solutions, citing manufacturer end-of-life and cybersecurity concerns for older equipment; the purchase was made via a competitively awarded term contract.
Carroll County Commissioners approved a procurement on March 27 to purchase replacement security cameras and associated equipment from Skyline Technology Solutions for $111,065.02. The Office of Procurement and the Department of Technology Services presented the request; staff said the purchase uses an existing competitively awarded term contract and is included in the FY 2025 budget.
Why it matters: Staff said the county replaces camera hardware on a rolling 5–7 year cycle as manufacturers cease firmware support for older models. Technology Services noted potential cybersecurity and operational issues if outdated hardware and firmware are retained.
Board action: A motion to approve the purchase was moved, seconded and passed by voice vote.
Procurement details and next steps: Staff reported the purchase is budgeted in FY25 and will proceed under the term contract. The county’s schedule calls for periodic rolling replacement to maintain support and security.
Ending: The contract award will be processed and cameras installed per Technology Services timelines.
