Proposal – CCTV Repair & Upgrade Pavilion
Existing CCTV has developed a fault and randomly shuts down. Most likely a power unit problem, main computer, network hub and cameras seem to be ok.
As this is a facilities/building system recommend this is a Landlord/Parish Council responsibility.
As the cost of 4/5G GB’s has dropped so low, it is now feasible to connect the pavilion to the internet and via a VPN link it to the office system to allow remote monitoring and give users booking the facilities a local WiFi hot spot.
Propose to upgrade the network infrastructure in the pavilion using system very similar to existing office system.
