STATEMENT OF NEED

WR Video Surveillance Systems

1. BACKGROUND:

The National Weather Service Western Region (NWS WR) has multiple offices (25+) and other remote locations throughout the eight western states that are in need of new outdoor video surveillance systems to replace existing end-of-life systems of varying age, coverage, and technology.

2. PURPOSE:

The purpose of this requirement is to acquire the hardware (cameras, mounts, and NVR/DVRs) to update the video surveillance systems at multiple NWS locations throughout the western states. The new camera systems are intended to provide full video coverage of each property for situational awareness (see image below for an example of our typical property), motion-activated notifications/alerts, as well as provide an uninterrupted, retrievable video record of at least the past 7 days from all cameras.

This requirement does not include installation of the hardware; the NWS will perform the installation with internal resources.

3. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:

We do not have an existing make/model of camera system (camera or NVR/DVR) in mind. The following are our minimum requirements, followed by optional, value-added features that we may like to have, if available, depending on the cost/benefit balance.

a. Cameras

Quantity of 166 outdoor-appropriate units, shipped to multiple addresses, with the following minimum salient characteristics:

● 4K Ultra High-Def resolution

● Minimum 75’ range

● Wired, Power-over-Ethernet (PoE). PoE can be provided by NVR or dedicated switch

● Infrared night vision

● IP66 or IP67 rating

● Operational in temperatures approximately -20°F to 120°F

● NDAA compliant

● Include wall mounts/brackets for each camera

Optional features, dependent on NWS value-added determination:

● Audio capability is optional, but not required

● No preference on body style (bullet/dome/other)

● Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) is not required

b. NVR/DVRs

Quantity of 26 units, shipped to multiple addresses, with the following minimum salient characteristics:

● Support a minimum of eight connected cameras

● Include software and any required software licenses to run the system

● Motion detection alerting/notifications

● The system must provide its own standalone networking; it will not be integrated into the Local Area Network (LAN).

● Internal, expandable memory capable of storing seven days’ worth of 4K, 24/7 recordings from eight cameras

● Capable of direct connection via HDMI to external TVs for live viewing

● Access control can be implemented to only allow authorized systems to view images and access device

● Firmware/Operating System/ Application updates and ability to perform those updates on or offline

● Ability to assign static IP addresses

● Ability to change device and service (e.g. SNMP) default passwords

● NDAA compliant

● On premise solutions only, cloud based solutions will not be considered

Optional features, dependent on NWS value-added determination:

1333LH23QNWWT0016 3

● Robust and sustainable patch and mitigation program to address discovered vulnerabilities in a timely manner

● Ability to disable unneeded and/or insecure protocols, ports, and service (telnet, ftp, http, etc.)

● Ability to send logs to a remote system

● Ability to import x509 certificates and utilize modern cryptographic protocols

● Ability to restore the device to original/factory state (i.e remove all data and settings)

● Encryption of data at rest

● Support multi-factor authentication and/or integration with Identity Management

Systems (IDM)

● Storage space savings via video compression techniques

● Audio capability is optional, but not required

● Warranty type and length will be considered

● Encrypted network communications
