Re: Video Surveillance System - RFQ/RFP

["SCHALIP, MICHAEL" <mschalip () CNM EDU>]

We run ~175 cameras through OnSSI/Ocularis - great software, great management capability, but pricey due to the "per 
camera" licensing model.  We're actually shopping for alternative (read:  less expensive) video surveillance software.  
There have been 2 names that have come up as "interesting" - Panasonic has their own system, "VMS" which is cameras and 
appliance-based NVRs (Ocularis .....and there's also "OpenEye" - recommended to us by the local police.)

Subject: [SECURITY] Video Surveillance System - RFQ/RFP

All -

Our District is looking to replace our Cisco video surveillance system with something else.  We currently have close to 
200 cameras being monitored between three colleges and multiple centers and sites.  We are looking to expand these 
numbers in the near future by a couple of hundred over the next 3-4 years or as budget permits.

We are in the early stages of developing an RFI/RFP to replace our current system.  We would be interested in hearing 
from other institutions what systems you are currently using and if you are happy with it.  If you have recently gone 
through the RFI/RFP process and you can share it with us that would be wonderful.  I will certainly share ours once we 
have it put together.  I would also be interested if anyone has incorporated wireless cameras into this mix.

Thank you in advance for any information you can provide.  Your input is much appreciated.

Harry
