| Scope of Work | The security system is comprised of about 132 cameras around the grounds. The infrastructure that was installed to support the camera system was not designed to withstand the elements and has subsequently failed in many locations. This has led to about 26 cameras showing no feed and a handful of others with poor displays. Over time, these issues have become progressively worse and as we enter another winter we expect that more of these cameras will fail. |
