The closed circuit television (CCTV) camera marketplace, much like personal computers, is in a state of constant evolution. Marketplace competition, technology advances, and more stringent user demands are constantly spurring the creation of ever faster, more reliable, and increasingly economical camera surveillance options. Because the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) is in the process of deploying a major expansion to the NaviGAtor system that will include increased camera surveillance of approximately one thousand cameras they wanted to determine if there were newer CCTV cameras, either on the market or up and coming, that could more effectively serve everyone's needs. They also wanted to assess the ramifications of introducing a new camera into NaviGAtor, which could be very significant in terms of cost and effort. The purpose of the evaluation was to assess the latest camera technologies, and then determine which, if any, of these technologies should be deployed as the NaviGAtor system is expanded. In addition, the study included developing an approach for integrating the recommended new CCTV camera into NaviGAtor. |
