Commissioners approve security camera upgrades for EMS stations after vendor quotes
Loading...
Summary
After reviewing two vendor quotes for cameras at EMS stations, commissioners approved security upgrades and clarified scope differences (POE switch and wiring). They directed staff to preserve recent footage and approved spending within an discussed cap.
Randolph County commissioners approved security camera upgrades for EMS facilities after vendors reviewed equipment, wiring and data‑retention options. Joseph Baldridge and a representative from Security Automations described a quote of about $22,305 for equipment at the farmland station; wiring for the Winchester addition was described as a separate line item.
Commissioners discussed scope differences after Security Automations initially listed a POE (power‑over‑Ethernet) switch; the vendor confirmed the county would provide the switch under its quote, reducing the other vendor’s price by an estimated $100–$150. The board asked staff to save any footage less than 30 days old while the new system is implemented.
The commission authorized upgrades to both facilities funded from commissioners’ discretionary accounts and discussed a combined cap in the meeting not to exceed the aggregate amount referenced by the chair. Commissioners asked for copies of vendor quotes and for staff to coordinate wiring and installation with construction timelines for the Winchester station addition.
