Information Services serves as the administrator and liaison between academic and administrative units who require a security camera. IS will administer and support the hardware and software required to maintain this environment and other support functions including:
- Recommendations on cameras for indoor and outdoor use
- Installation of cameras for a fixed price
- Consultation with other departments involved in campus security including CFM, Admin and Finance and the Police Department
- Training end users how to use the cameras
- Backend storage of the video
- Software administration and support
- Physical support of cameras when they malfunction
Minimum Support Policies
All cameras on campus must operate at a minimum resolution and frames per second set by Information Services annually in consultation with the police department.
-
- Existing cameras which do not meet the minimum requirements will be removed from the UMKC network by July 1, 2021. Individual discussions with each of the units who use these units will occur in early 2021 surrounding need, financing, and long-term plan.
- All Security cameras must operate using a minimum 1280x720 resolution at 15 Frames Per Second (FPS) to be eligible for use at UMKC.
- All cameras will operate on an 8-year lifecycle. At that time, they will be removed from service. No exceptions to this rule.
- No individual NVRs will be allowed in the future. The campus is moving to a cloud based or SAN storage-based model rather than decentralized storage by unit. Existing customers will be moved to the new storage model over time and financial discussions will occur with individual units.
