Craven Community College is gathering market information for a future campus-wide security camera system replacement across four North Carolina locations.
- **Government buyer**
  - Craven Community College; contact: Carlton Banks. No sub-agency or specific office is identified.
- **Procurement scope and quantities**
  - Approximately **215 indoor and outdoor cameras** for 21 buildings and exterior areas at the New Bern campus, Havelock campus, Volt Center, and Public Safety Training Center. Vendors may recommend a different camera count.
  - Approximately **96 cameras require lift access** for installation.
  - Related items include camera cabling and connections, camera-management licensing, and dedicated monitoring hardware such as monitors.
- **System capabilities and notable requirements**
  - High-definition coverage, including long-range and wide-field-of-view options; sound recording and two-way communication are desired where available.
  - Cloud-based management is preferred over NVR/DVR-based management, with encrypted data, remote web-portal access, multiple staff logins, and a preferred 10-year licensing term.
  - Desired AI features include item search, license-plate recognition, people and vehicle analytics, counting, and motion alerts.
  - CAT5 or CAT6 cabling in conduit is preferred. The College also seeks information about connecting the four locations and potential integration with existing access-control, emergency-notification, fire-alarm, or other systems.
- **Services requested**
  - System provision, site preparation, installation, and cable runs; staff training; warranty coverage; and on-site and off-site technical support.
  - A 10-year warranty for cameras, related hardware, and installation quality is preferred.
- **OEMs and vendors**
  - No camera OEM, product brand, reseller, or other vendor is named in the notice.
- **Market-research status**
  - This is an RFI for planning purposes. The College requests capability information, implementation and delivery timelines, and a non-binding rough-order-of-magnitude cost estimate, including hardware, licensing, preparation, installation, training, warranty, support, recurring costs, and options. The RFI does not request offers and will not result in an award.
