Summary of Specifications:
Oakland County Purchasing Division is soliciting bids on behalf of the City of Farmington Hills Police Dept. for the item(s) listed below.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The Department coordinates several ongoing enforcement efforts which would benefit from the application of video surveillance equipment, which is currently lacking. These efforts include, a narcotics surveillance unit (large scale drug enforcement), a directed patrol plain clothes surveillance unit (larceny from auto (LFA) and stolen auto (UDAA) crimes), and a general plain clothes surveillance unit (all crimes other than drugs LFAs and UDAAs). Additionally, this equipment would significantly enhance the Department’s tactical response, in that the wireless camera could be set up to watch a barricaded gunman’s location, or the scene of a hazardous material spill, while the scene is monitored on video from a remote location.
This equipment consists basically of a hardened weather-resistant pan/tilt/zoom video camera, wireless transmission devices, and a receiving workstation which allows the camera’s video to be received, viewed and recorded, and provides the camera operator the ability to remotely/wirelessly pan, tilt and zoom the camera. This unit also has infrared abilities capable of detecting body heat/movement; a desirable feature in low light/visibility environments. The system will include a viewing monitor, tripod, cabling, a hard shell Pelican-type case and all accessories.
