C.1 INTRODUCTION

This document is arranged in nine sections—

• Section 1: Introduction

• Section 2: Scope

• Section 3: System Overview

• Section 4: Video System Requirements

• Section 5: Audio System Requirements

• Section 6: Environmental Conditions

• Section 7: Ancillary Services

• Section 8: Maintenance

• Section 9: Documentation

C.2 SCOPE

The purpose of the Technical Investigative Surveillance Equipment (“TechOps”) contracts is to provide a full array of compatible and interoperable technical investigative surveillance equipment, limited services, and annual technical refreshments to meet the covert surveillance objectives of participating Federal Agencies using the prices described in Section B of this chapter, Supplies or Services and Prices/Costs. While ancillary services in support of the equipment are required, the principle purpose of this procurement is to obtain equipment. TI equipment and services are limited to the following:

• Covert video equipment with optional audio that includes transmitters, receivers, repeaters and IP Cameras, offering mobile and fixed options and multiple concealment options

• Covert audio equipment that includes transmitters, receivers, and repeaters, offering mobile and fixed options and multiple concealment options, and

• Ancillary services that includes engineering for construction of concealments, training, technical services, and maintenance.

Video systems are divided into two categories: Wireless Video operating in the L, C or S bands and Internet Protocol (IP) Video. Wireless video systems provide video surveillance through digitally encoded Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (COFDM) format as standardized in the Digital Television Broadcast – Terrestrial (DVB- T) standards and may support legacy formats, e.g. analog National Television System Committee (NTSC) format and Common Data Link (CDL) transmissions. IP video systems provide digitally encoded video over wired data links, e.g. DSL, cable, and commercial wireless links, e.g. commercial cellular. Video devices include transmitters, IP cameras, receivers, repeaters, and concealments.

Audio systems are defined in a single class of devices employed in multiple configurations, depending on the operational scenario, for the covert collection of audio information. Devices within the family include RF audio transmitters, receivers and repeaters, audio recorders, and concealments. Modularity of design, interoperability, physical device covertness, clarity of audio reception, and minimization of potential detection of the RF signal are key parameters for the systems.

C.3 SYSTEM OVERVIEW

C.3.1 Video Systems

C.3.1.1 Wireless Video Systems Video systems typically consist of a single video transmitter unit transmitting to a single video receiver located remotely to the video transmitter. RF transmissions are either passed direct from transmitter to receiver or through a repeater to extend the distance between the transmitter and receiver. Video transmitters can be easily concealed for covert use, and they may incorporate limited remote control capability and provide for audio collection. The video transmitter emissions are typically monitored by a single receiving device but may be monitored by multiple receiving devices, depending upon the specific design of the transmitter. Video Concealments may consist of video transmitters and/or video recorders concealed in common devices. Due to the sensitive nature of the concealments, DHS will not provide a listing of concealment types.

C.3.1.2 IP Video Systems Internet Protocol (IP) Video Systems consist of a camera with a built-in computer server accessible from a remote PC with a Web Browser. The IP video camera connects to a network, such as a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) or Telephony (T-1), or a commercial wireless service, such as cellular or Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi), for network connectivity and is typically accessed from an Internet browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer) from a remote location. Image recording can be accomplished remotely to digital video recorders with IP connectivity. The systems typically support image compression for bandwidth conservation and camera remote pan/tilt controls.

C.3.2 Audio Systems Audio systems are employed in multiple configurations, depending on the operational scenario, for the covert collection of audio information and are comprised of transmitters, receivers, repeaters, recorders and concealments. Modularity of design, interoperability, physical device covertness, clarity of audio and video reception, and minimization of potential detection of the RF signal are key parameters for the systems.

Audio Recorders are typically small body worn devices, which can be easily concealed for covert use, and they provide stereo as well as mono audio recording through internal microphones. In addition, some systems provide the capability for attachment of external microphone(s). Electrical power is typically provided by internal batteries and the audio recording is typically stored on an internal permanently mounted solid-state device. Captured audio is typically downloaded to recordable media through a provided software interface application and interface cabling and provides means to ensure evidentiary integrity. Storage time of several hours is the norm for most systems with storage time being directly related to the quantity of internal storage memory and the audio compression being employed.

Typically audio systems offer user selectable compression formats.

Body-worn transmitter audio systems typically consist of one or more small body worn transmitters, which can be easily concealed for covert use. They may incorporate limited remote control capability and may provide for stereo as well as mono audio monitoring. The transmitter microphones are typically internal, and some systems provide for the attachment of external microphone(s). Transmitter emissions may be monitored by a single receiving device or by multiple receiving devices, depending upon the specific design of the transmitter. For all audio systems, body worn devices are typically powered using internal batteries, providing several hours of operation.

Audio receivers are part of a total integrated audio surveillance system and interface with a single or multiple body-worn audio transmitters. The receivers typically have provisions for attachment of additional external antennas (i.e. Omni-directional, covert magmounts and flat panel). They also may have the ability to control body worn transmitters and to record signals from all transmitting devices in the system.

Audio systems may be provided in audio surveillance kits that contain a total integrated audio surveillance system with optional devices and accessories. The kits include one or more transmitters, a receiver, and additional antennas and cabling to fulfill field operations.

Audio concealments consist of audio transmitters concealed in everyday items.

Because of the sensitive nature of the concealments the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will not publish a specific listing of concealment types, C.4 VIDEO SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
