Very interesting article. I have a question: "Tyco Integrated Security is contracted to do all the installation, maintenance and monitoring for the court system of a major U.S. city" using Bosch cameras? Why not Tyco products?

This is a great article.
It's disturbing to me that the hisghest usage of the system is used looking at cell phone theft. I wonder how much money could be saved by simply refusing people who have lost their phone?

Thanks for article highlighting effective usage of technology. How is the control room staff monitoring 1800 cameras with manpower of 20-30.Are they using any analytics or other smart features.

I'll find out more about the analytics. They do have things like propped open door alerts and emergency exit alerts that call up cameras.
For monitoring, that is 20-30 people per shift and around than a third of that after hours. The reason for less at night is because their isn't as much maintenance and repair going on at night. And that 20-30 is not all Tyco people, but some are court officers as well.

1800 cameras, is this one building or the entire Federal Court system?

I have worked in many facilities on both the corporate side and the government side. I have worked for both large retail store chains that i did loss prevention looking for shop lifters, corporate security for a large bank with an active security operations center with over 130 sites with over 200 DVR's and over 4000 cameras and our SOC can not view 1800 cameras every day. I have also worked in the military at military SOC's and in 2 military prison's.
I just don't believe the 1800 cameras at one site and 20 - 30 people watching all cameras. They are not watching or monitoring all 1800 cameras. They are monitoring inputs line the door forced or door held alarms or the judges panic alarms and pulling up video for those alarm events. They may also be monitoring entry control points and prisoner transfer points. But they are not actively watching all 1800 cameras. And if they claim they are than they are either lying about it, and most importantly not being realistic. Even being conservitive and excepting the max offered at 30 operators, and assuming none are doing maintenance like they sugested they are also doing, that is 60 cameras per operator to monitor. Just how many monitors do they have in the operations center...... or just how small are the inidividual boxes and how many cameras on a single screen are up at one time.
this is just not happeneing at described.

Tyco has different types of Video monitoring services to offer, so first better to identify what services are being taken by customer and then discuss how Tyco does it. Here is the Youtube channel of Tyco IS where many people commenting here; would see for the first time.
