Board OKs planning for IT, security and camera upgrades tied to police body cameras
Summary
President J. Giles told the board the village needs an IT wiring overhaul, a rack and switches to support building cameras and security card access—work he said is "driven by state mandated Police body cameras and storage" and estimated the cost at about $5,000.
President J. Giles said the village needs to upgrade its IT wiring and networking so police body cameras and storage can function together with building cameras and security access. "The cost will be about $5000.00," Giles said, describing a configuration that would move equipment to a single rack rather than a set of separate switches.
The board gave voice approval to investigate options, obtain quotes and develop a plan with assistance from the village’s IT support, Realm of Tech. Officials said the upgrade would include a rack, switches and cameras and that the IT vendor can provide ongoing support. No procurement or budget appropriation was approved at the meeting; members authorized only further planning and quote-gathering.
Officials tied the IT work to compliance and storage needs for the police department’s body-worn camera system.
