Board explores adding cameras with audio and ID‑fob integration at courthouse counters
Summary
County IT staff briefed trustees on options to add cameras (and optional audio) at public counters, possible exterior cameras, and whether existing cabling supports wired network cameras; staff will survey ceilings, confirm vendor options for integrating fobs with ID cards, and return cost estimates.
Humboldt County trustees considered upgrades to courthouse security and access control, including adding video cameras with audio at main public counters and exploring ID badges that integrate fobs for door access and timesheet integration.
IT staff said the county's current video-storage server retains video for about 45 days (video-only) and that adding audio and additional cameras will increase storage needs; they recommended assessing existing ceiling cabling in offices such as the auditor, treasurer and assessor to determine whether wired network cameras could be used to save cost. Trustees also discussed options for local storage on cameras, server expansion, signage requirements, and potential benefits for emergency accountability and payroll timekeeping.
Staff will contact the vendor to learn whether readers can be integrated with ID cards that hold fob credentials and will prepare cost and equipment options for trustees to consider in the budget process.
