- Item No: 5G MOLNDS, VIEW Meeting Date:02/12/2024 Type of Business: Consent Agenda Administrator Review: City of Mounds View Staff Report NEU- To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Ben Zender, Chief of Police Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9872, Approving Migration of Video Footage from the Physical Server to the Cloud for the Police Department Video Evidence Library. Introduction: The Police Department is due to upgrade the physical on -site WatchGuard server to the cloud for video evidence library storage. Discussion: The department is requesting to migrate the remaining video footage from the physical on -site WatchGuard server to the cloud for video evidence library. The original WatchGuard server was purchased in 2017. The server is out of warranty, out of date, and in immediate need to be replaced. The Mounds View Police Department as well as the public deserve to have reliable video evidence storage. Once the physical server is replaced, this will allow the Mounds View Police Department to begin to replace the body worn cameras as well as additional equipment necessary. As of now, the old Vista body worn cameras are compatible with the cloud. Motorola is not making Vista body cameras any more and are currently making and implementing the new V700 body worn cameras. The V700s are not compatible with our current physical server. The total purchasing cost of migrating the remaining video footage from the physical server to the cloud storage for the police department video evidence library is approximately $3,600.00 from Account 480-4200-3030. Recommendation: Staff recommends authorizing the migration of the remaining video footage from the physical on -site WatchGuard server to the cloud for video evidence library for the police department. Respectfully Submitted, Ben Zender Chief of Police
