Title
Video Server Purchase - Purchase Approval
History
The Police Department currently has three (3) Sanyo Digital Video Recorders and three (3) Sanyo external storage units that manage the video surveillance system within the police department. The current video system was installed in 2007 with a three (3) year warranty which is expired. The video recorders and storage units are no longer supported by Sanyo. The Sanyo system has had three failures within the last two years and is at the end of its life expectancy.
The department will need to add additional video cameras to the lineup room and interview rooms due to the change in state law effective January 1, 2015 requiring the video recording of physical and photo line ups.
A review of the options to upgrade the current video system and to add the additional cameras will be conducted. Along with the video system upgrade the department will need to purchase a new video server for the storage of the increased video data.
The Dell PowerEdge R420 Intel Xeon E-24XX v2 Processor and the Dell PowerVault MD1220 Rackmount SAS, 24 Bay, Power Supply will meet the department’s needs for video storage. The server also has the ability to add additional storage capacity if needed in the future. This server includes the Dell PowerEdge R420 Processor which has a purchase price of $4,789.53 and the Dell PowerVault MD1220 Power Supply which has a purchase price of $5,202.86. The Dell PowerEdge Processor and PowerVault Power Supply are currently on the State of Illinois Joint purchasing agreement.
On November 17, 2014, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Safety Committee and referred to the Village Board for approval.

The Dell Server will be purchased with Federal Asset Forfeiture funds under account 027-2900-460180
