Purchasing & Sheriff staff developed a bid package that not only address the concerns of the inspector but also safety concerns within the jail. The system consists of: • Four (4) color digital video recorders with 600 GB storage each • Five (5) color high resolution day/night cameras with motorized zoom lenses • Thirteen (13) color high resolution day/night cameras with fixed lenses • Thirty four (34) color nagged dome interior cameras • Sixteen (16) 14" high resolution color monitors • Two (2) 9" high resolution color monitors • Any additional wiring (will utilize existing wherever possible) • Installation & training • One year on-site maintenance
