Board approves $225,000 Avigilon camera and access-control system funded by Cox grant
Summary
The Clay County Board approved purchase of an Avigilon cloud-based camera and access-control system, funded largely through a Cox grant and described in the packet as roughly $225,000; staff said the system would allow sheriff's office live view during incidents.
The Clay County Board of Education approved purchase of an Avigilon camera, server and access-control system that staff said is written into a Cox safety grant and would cost roughly $225,000.
Staff described the system as replacing local network video recorders with cloud-based storage and giving the sheriff's department live access during incidents. "The Avigilon system... will go to a online based, data storage for all of our camera systems where, like, heaven forbid, we had an incident at the school. The sheriff's department can log in and have live view of what's going on as they're responding," a staff member said.
The staff presentation said the purchase was feasible because the Cox grant provided the bulk of the funding and that the system would be expandable if additional safety funding becomes available. The board placed and passed a motion to proceed with the purchase.
The transcript cites the quoted figure of roughly $225,000 as the initial estimate written into the grant; the board vote was recorded by voice and the motion passed.
