Board approves purchase of new server/DVR and relocation of camera data to district control
Summary
The board approved Eagle Communications' $49,885.80 proposal for a DVR/server, licensing, and a five‑year maintenance agreement to relocate camera and access‑control systems to a secured server rack at the Fiber Building, increasing district control and resilience.
The board approved a proposal from Eagle Communications to relocate the district’s DVR/server, site access control and camera licensing to an enclosed server rack at the Fiber Building for $49,885.80, including a five‑year maintenance agreement. Peyton explained the system was sized to retain recorded video for a minimum of 60 days and expected 90 days with the district’s current camera load and that the configuration supports up to 40 cameras at high definition.
Ken and the chair said the district wants direct control of the licensing and physical hardware so staff won’t need to rely on a contractor’s private system for routine operations or emergency access. Peyton added the access control system is existing and will be migrated to the district server; the five‑year maintenance agreement covers software updates. The board approved the server project by motion.
Why it matters: moving licensing and storage onto district‑controlled equipment reduces single‑vendor dependency and improves operational access and disaster recovery for local broadcast and public‑safety monitoring.
