Commerce Township approves $72,000 parks security camera purchase
Summary
The Board authorized up to $72,000 to buy and install park security cameras from Integrated Controls and Equipment, covering four parks and with ongoing cellular connectivity costs of about $160 per month.
Director of Technology Ben Sebrowski and Parks Director Emily England recommended purchasing cameras and installation from Integrated Controls and Equipment (ICE) at a cost of about $71,650; the motion capped the purchase at $72,000 with funds to come from Parks.
As presented to the Board, "The cameras will be placed at Victory Park (Mickies Dog Park), Bicentennial Park, Dodge Park (Scarlet's Smile), and Richardson Center (Pickleball Courts)." Trustees asked about footage retention, licensing and cellular fees; Sebrowski said the system retains footage for 30 days by default, cellular router fees run about $40-$50 per month, and licensing supports firmware updates and AI features.
The Board unanimously approved the purchase. Staff said the vendor provides a one-year installation/equipment warranty and the camera manufacturer warranty extends up to 10 years if the licensing requirements are maintained.
