Video Surveillance System (VSS)

1. Introduction

The Federal Protective Service (FPS) is the federal law enforcement agency responsible for the protection and security of federal facilities, employees, and visitors. FPS, Security Operations Branch (SOB), actively works to reduce security vulnerabilities of federal facilities from criminal, terrorist, accidental, and natural disaster threats to ensure properties remain safe, secure, and available to the American public and employees of the federal government.

The following guidelines have been developed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Management Directorate (MGMT), Federal Protective Service (FPS) to mitigate threats and vulnerabilities pertaining to federal buildings and government leased spaces. The guidelines and regulations were developed with the notion that the security posture of each federal building or government leased space is unique.

This guideline is for purchase and installation of a new Network Video Management System (NVMS), fixed IP cameras, IP Panoramic cameras, multi-sensor cameras, client workstations, control center flat panel monitors, and all additional equipment and appurtenances necessary for a fully functional IP VSS system.

Also, this guideline may include the purchase, installation, programming of a new Point-to-Point wireless network system. This guideline shall include system maintenance.

The VSS system shall monitor vehicle traffic, personnel entry, emergency exits, and the exterior perimeter of the facility. The VSS system shall retain video for a minimum of 30 days plus 25% additional storage space for future expansion.

2.2.1 The system will be designed with the following use case scenarios in mind

• Scenario 1: Observation – this use case is defined as a continuous overview of scene content captured. The camera purpose or use case is best described as being capable of capturing an image that can be utilized to verify the general characteristics of the image. For example, the number of cars or people in a parking lot. The minimum horizontal resolution should be 20 pixels per foot.

• Scenario 2: Forensic Review – this use case is best described as being designed for use later to identify objects of interest. For example, type (make/model) of a car in a parking lot. The minimum horizontal resolution should be 40 pixels per foot.

• Scenario 3: Recognition – this use case is best described as a VSS designed to observe and identify a person or object with enough detail for courtroom quality. This level is often utilized as facial recognition or license plate recognition. The minimum horizontal resolution should be 80 pixels per foot. The Recognition Use Case should be utilized for facility entrances and exits when possible.

2.3 Pan Tilt Zoom Design

2.3.1 Pan Tilt and Zoom (PTZ) cameras will be limited to facilities that have active monitoring or move to an area upon alarm activation (as long as no asset is left without coverage).

2.3.2 PTZ cameras will not be used to monitor significant areas or assets.
