1. Answer – Yes, there are existing camera that will be replaced. Currently installed RT&C ultra resolution cameras – model KEZ-cbr28V12iRB, unsure of the outside ones (which are not correct outside cameras). 2. No. I don’t believe there is existing CAT5/6 cable. 3. No. This is a safety issue.

Question Submitted:

1. The PWS specifies installing CAT6 wire, but no wire is specified on the material list. Are all existing cameras IP (use an ethernet wire like you would plug into a laptop or desktop)? 2. Are all Cameras going to be placed exactly where old cameras are located, is there an expectation that new camera locations will be provided, with new wire to those locations? 3. Was wisenet specifically chosen, or can other brands be provided that have 64TB memory? (Wisenet has back orders on the server listed.)

Response Received:

1. If CAT6 was left off of the material list, NCTC can purchase and supply. But it is needed for the POE/DVR. 2. Yes, camera placement will be the same. New cameras and locations will be provided- two of which are external and will need new wiring. 3. Other brands are optional as long as they are TAA compliant.
