City of Lawndale, California (City) is soliciting Requests for Proposals (RFPs) from qualified vendors for the procurement, design, installation, configuration, maintenance and training of an IP-based integrated security surveillance system and centralized management system for the following four City-owned facilities in the City of Lawndale. The goal of this RFP is to secure the services of a qualified vendor who will design, procure and install a modern security camera and centralized management system that will allow high quality footage to be recorded on a Network Video Recording (NVR) system that will be remotely viewable from any City work station or mobile device(s) whether inside or outside the City. Background: Locations B, C, D and E above currently have existing security camera systems. However, the existing security camera systems have inadequate facility coverage, such as too few cameras and poor video review quality. In addition, the existing security cameras are of different models and capabilities that are not compatible. Each of the existing systems has a different type of hardware, and footage can only be viewed on-site via a computer monitor. The existing cameras include various resolutions such as: Standard Definition (SD) in some cases and High Definition (HD) in others.
