The vendor required to provide mobile video recording (MVR) device to implement a reliable, innovative, and cost-effective solution that advances technology, enhances officer safety and operational efficiency in dynamic patrol environments, ensures public accountability, and fully comply.
- MVR solution that shall consist of, but not be limited to, all equipment, consumables, storage, software, system support, and training required to ensure service.
- Camera(s) and equipment
• The MVR solution for patrol cars, trucks and sport utility vehicles (SUVs) must include interior cameras that can be configured to offer 360-degree video coverage around the vehicle’s perimeter.
• The system should also include an interior camera focused on the prisoner and passenger transport areas.
• The 360-degree coverage requirement may be achieved by any combination of fixed cameras, provided that the resolutions ensure the clearest possible depiction of recorded activities, regardless of the number of cameras.
• Vehicle characteristics must be identifiable, to include tag numbers, markings, damage, etc.
• Interior cameras recording the prisoner and passenger transport areas must be equipped with active infrared (IR) or low-light capabilities to clearly capture the actions of individuals in these areas using only standard nighttime lighting (e.g., dash lights, computer screens, radio lights), without relying on additional external illumination.
• Exterior facing cameras should have the ability to default to standard, unenhanced video.
• Any enhanced capabilities (such as passive IR, low light, or thermal imaging) should have the capability to be manually activated.
• The 360-degree camera configuration and interior camera for the prisoner and passenger transport areas are not required for motorcycles.
• Any mounts used for camera placement must allow for user-adjustable positioning.
• Due to power and weight limitations, the system should be as small as possible and host its own power solution.
• The MVR solution must include an automated license plate reader (LPR) system to automatically identify and capture license plate information.
• The license plate reader (LPR) system must provide low-light capabilities.
• The MVR solution must include a minimum of 512 GB of local on-board storage as well as the ability to offload and transmit video remotely via 4g LTE over-the-air.
• The MVR solution must include a wireless lapel microphone and a body worn camera (BWC) capable of manually triggering video recording remotely.
• The wireless microphone and BWC must provide a minimum of eight (8) hours of actual talk time.
• It must include an in-car or motorcycle charger that can fully recharge the microphone within eight (8) hours, at least two (2) extra batteries for the wireless microphone, with a warning provided no less than thirty (30) minutes before the battery is depleted.
• Batteries should meet industry standards for expected service life.
- Video viewing
• Enable troopers to access and view recorded video immediately after recording and in real-time.
• Allow videos to be viewed concurrently while recording is in progress.
• Provide functionality for troopers to add markers, footnotes, case numbers, and multiple classification types to video prior to off-loading and after off-loading.
• Support live video streaming (real-time viewing) from remote locations, with user permission restricted to patrol -specified personnel and scenarios.
• Include a notification mechanism to inform the trooper whenever their video is being live-streamed.
• Offer capabilities to access and view off-loaded video remotely, either using software or web-based solutions.
- Video storage
• Facilitate the storage and centralized repository of video and other digital evidence, including but not limited to digital photographs, media from MVR systems and various other sources, ensuring efficient management, retrieval, and digital dissemination both internally and externally.
• Required to deliver storage-as-a-service, encompassing the provision, upkeep, servicing, and continuous enhancement of both physical and virtual storage infrastructure.
• Cloud storage shall serve as the exclusive medium for all digital media.
• Ensure sufficient storage capacity to accommodate video and digital media storage requirements for all agency users.
• The capability to upload media from other sources.
• The solution must also be scalable to accommodate potential future changes in retention policies.
• Provide a storage solution with accompanying software or web-based access that enables user-friendly, efficient searches by criteria such as name, radio id number, case number, classification, vehicle number, date, time, county, or combinations thereof.
• The system must support storing and purging videos and other media at preset intervals based on patrol -defined classifications.
- Video off-loading
• MVR solution must include the capability for remote video offloading via 4g LTE network connectivity, allowing troopers to transmit video files to storage servers without the need to travel to specific physical locations (e.g., patrol stations, headquarters) to establish wireless or physical connections to access points.
• The solution should provide an option for high-speed wireless offloading at designated patrol locations through vendor-provided wireless access points.
• The solution must provide manual offload capability to permanent storage solution via removable storage in the event there is an urgent need to retrieve video or when the video unit is damaged and unable to offload through LTE or wi-fi transport.
- Video redaction
• MVR solution must include software or web-based tools that enable video redaction, including the ability to redact audio.
• Redaction must not modify the original video.
• The solution must ensure that recipients of redacted video copies cannot reasonably recover or “un-redact” the redacted content.
- Budget: $5,000,000 annually
- Contract Period/Term: 5 years
- Questions/Inquires Deadline: December 23, 2025
