Description: The Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), Command, Control and Communications Engineering Center (C3CEN) requests information on commercially available Internet Protocol (IP) Camera Systems suitable for installation at VTS remote sensor sites. Remote sensor sites provide 120VAC or 24VAC input power to the cameras depending on the site configuration. The camera systems track commercial and domestic maritime traffic in and around ten U.S. ports. The requirement is currently being met using a combination of analog Cameras (2a) interfaced with analog to digital encoders (2b). The encoded video streams over a T1 based network to Vessel Traffic Centers where operators control camera pan, tilt, and zoom functions and monitor video using FLIR Latitude Video Management System (VMS) software (2c). a.
