Government camera projects carry constraints that commercial jobs usually don't: procurement rules, public records requests, federal funding restrictions on certain manufacturers, and IT departments that must approve every device on the network. IPS designs, installs and supports video surveillance for federal and municipal agencies. We start by defining what each camera must show and set retention by your records policy. We then build a system your IT team can patch and your facilities team can maintain.
Assessment, design, installation, hosted video, device-health monitoring and service for public-sector camera systems.
We design each camera around what it must show, whether that is detection, recognition or identification. Then we install and commission the system for evidence documentation, theft deterrence and liability management at government facilities.
Coverage, network, PoE and storage are planned with your IT team. Video is integrated with access control and intrusion where it helps investigations, and we reuse existing infrastructure where it still meets the need.
Hosted and managed Physical-Security-as-a-Service moves recording infrastructure off site, with redundant storage through certified data center partners, immediate software updates, and cost spread over the lifecycle.
Remote probes and an IPS application on your video server check device health and cybersecurity controls. Data is sent outbound over TLS, and the NOC sends notifications when cameras or recorders fail. It monitors system health, not live video.
An obligation-free assessment of current coverage, blind spots, recorder health, retention settings and network exposure. It gives your agency a prioritized plan for upgrades or new construction.
Technicians troubleshoot dropping camera feeds, image-quality problems and failed recorders during normal business hours. After-hours scheduling is available, and additional charges may apply.
A common mistake on agency projects is buying cameras before deciding what each one must capture. Another is leaving retention at the recorder's default when the records schedule says otherwise. We start with a coverage plan, confirm funding restrictions such as NDAA Section 889, and agree VLANs, PoE budgets and patching responsibility with your IT department. Only then do we select hardware. After installation, support programs and NOC device-health monitoring keep recording reliable.
An integrator that designs around procurement, IT and records rules, and supports the system afterward.
Clients include the Ohio Department of Veterans Services, Cleveland Metroparks and Cleveland Public Library.
Video, access control, intrusion and fire systems designed, installed and supported by the same team.
Our NOC flags offline cameras and recording failures so they can be fixed before footage is needed.

Agencies use cameras to document activity at entrances, lobbies, parking areas, evidence and records rooms, and service counters. They support investigations, deter theft and help manage liability claims. Start with what each camera must do: detect a person, recognize someone you know, or identify a stranger or a plate. That decision drives camera choice, lens and mounting height more than anything else.
