Project Description:

This project refreshes physical security technology infrastructure, like video cameras and access control systems. Some of the current systems have exceeded their shelf life and/or are no longer supported. These systems will be retrofitted with the latest available technology to enhance security needs. The updated system will help to provide real-time feeds and alerts from multiple data sources in order to stay ahead of threats with intuitive workflows and data integrations to facilitate comprehensive intelligence collection and analysis-delivering automated, smart, and actionable insights to help make informed decisions.


Project Scope:

The security technology infrastructure upgrade project are divided into 9 phases. Each of the phases aim to update security infrastructure for an average of 22 buildings, the security infrastructure update includes: network video recorders, access control systems, building intrusions systems, cameras and duress alarms.

On top of the list, this project will also provide updates for Fisk. Fisk will provide the necessary network cables and switches that’s needed for all the hardware that require connection the Harris County data center. 

 

Justification:

The replacement of these end-of-life security systems and hardware devices will help first responders in an emergency. The County's access system must comply with the Fire Code. In the event of an emergency, facility egress doors must release to allow individuals to leave the premises. The system also supports duress buttons in the event of an emergency. Updating this technology will reduce time spent by the Harris County agencies and provide efficiencies in their work. These system upgrades will reduce the failure rate which will help reduce operational repair costs. Each failure can cost $95 per hour to repair; reducing the work orders generated by the failure of these devices will reduce overall repair costs.

 

In addition, keeping security infrastructure up to date will not only help prevent facility theft from HC facilities but also promote safety for facility users that includes employee and citizens. 

 

Alternatives and Engagement:

Failure to maintain security infrastructure will prevent critical security updates and lead to security compromise and loss of compliance. Lack of equipment modernization will limit the County’s ability to secure facilities, property, staff, and citizens.
