A North Carolina entity is seeking a qualified vendor to modernize its physical security technology platforms across multiple facilities. The project involves delivering comprehensive physical security solutions, including the installation, maintenance, and support of security cameras, access control systems, card readers, panic buttons, and related hardware and software components.

The modernization effort requires the deployment of an integrated, scalable, open-architecture solution that unifies video surveillance, access control, intrusion detection, and other security-related systems through a centralized platform. The platform must support integration with a wide range of third-party hardware and software, preventing reliance on proprietary systems, and should encompass functions such as video management, alarm and intercom communications, and system diagnostics capable of notifying administrators of faults or performance issues.

Vendors should ensure their solutions incorporate modern cybersecurity protocols, including TLS encryption, multi-factor authentication, and audit logging, and comply with industry standards such as CJIS, FIPS, or NIST where applicable. This modernization initiative is geared towards enhancing both the physical and digital security posture across the organization’s facilities.
