The Cities current camera system is past warranty, in disrepair, utilizes
hardware that is now on the US Federal contract blacklist and in need of

has become an industry leader in network and camera systems by removing
the need for costly on-premise NVR's and enterprise servers. Their platform

with 24/7 support. The same system is used at the City of Casselberry, City of
New Smyrna Beach and the Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority. Cost of
replacement to be $128,000 with opportunities to apply for grants for cost
assistance. Cost includes 5 years of licensing, maintenance and service as well
as additional network equipment needed to sustain connectivity for all
devices and time and labor for installation services.
