Services will also include low voltage wiring (Ethernet category rated and fiber) and electrical work. Monthly maintenance of 20 hours per month paid monthly in a flat rate should be included in the proposal. The City operates a private wide-area IP data network. This network is comprised of several technologies including city-owned fiber cable, CATx cable and various wireless links. In addition, the city operates a number of remote locations throughout the city. These specific remote sites are currently connected to the core city network via cable, fiber or city-owned point-to-point wireless systems. All of the remote locations use standards-based Virtual Private Network (VPN) technology to secure the city's data as it traverses the network services. The city has a number of IP-based camera systems deployed. These systems, including site-to-site connectivity, camera management and control, and video storage are currently managed by city personnel. The city currently uses Genetec Security Center IP Video Surveillance Solution. This platform is configured in either a distributed-server architecture or centralized architecture where possible. There are currently over 400 IP cameras installed in over 50 locations thorough out the city to include electrical poles and street cameras.
