Panic Buttons

Hi Rebecca,

            We’ve had panic buttons in place for at least 10 years, and they are tied into our building alarm systems. These activate alerts in the appropriate Campus Safety office. See response from our Auxiliary Services Director below:

Our panic buttons tie directly back to our alarm panels and the sources we use depend on the manufacturer of the panel.  Anything new we have put in is made by Honeywell or DSC and available through ADI, http://adiglobal.us/Pages/default.aspx, and CDW, http://www.cdw.com/, however some of the older panels around campus that we took over years ago are Regency Panels and we have to get those parts from a GE supplier, usually ADI.

Our panic devices are peripheral devices on our intrusion detection systems which are integrated to our Security Monitor. Security Monitor delivers Door Access, Intrusion Detection, and Video in one platform to the Police Department. Security Monitor is a CBord product, while the Intrusion Detection devices are a Bosch product and the cameras are Cisco.

Colleagues,

We are preparing to do a RFP for a camera/surveillance system and I am looking for sample RFPs to use as a guide.  Our goal is to upgrade a very old system that we have in place in the Residence Halls and expand our cameras into other buildings on the campus.

Have any of you recently put in cameras or a campus-wide surveillance system?  Any recommendations?  Are you willing to share your RFP?

Thank you very much.
