Committee approves $1.9 million contract to expand library security camera system
Summary
The PECS committee approved a piggyback on a statewide contract to install a uniform, cloud-based security camera system across DeKalb County Public Library branches (vendor: DS IYS Solutions Inc.), not to exceed $1.9 million; library staff said the Cisco system mirrors Stone Mountain’s setup and uses existing network infrastructure.
The DeKalb County Planning, Economic Development and Community Services committee approved a recommendation to piggyback an existing statewide contract for a uniform cloud-based security camera system for the county library network.
Chair Nicole Messia read the agenda item (SWC long-number statewide contract) identifying DS IYS Solutions Inc. as the recommended vendor and an amount not to exceed $1,900,000. A library representative told the committee the system would replicate the Cisco installation already operating at the Stone Mountain Sue Kellogg branch and would run on the library’s existing network infrastructure. The representative invited the commissioners to ask specific questions; none were raised, and the committee moved and approved the item by voice vote.
The library described the system as compatible with existing computer networks and as part of efforts to modernize branch safety and operations. No details on timeline beyond the procurement approval were provided during the committee discussion.
Staff will proceed with the vendor award per procurement rules and the county’s piggybacking authorization.
