ADS Utilizes Multiple Copper and Fiber Technologies
Past Performance and Qualifications Project Description: Charlotte City Surveillance System ADS designed and implemented a city wide surveillance system integrating multiple city wide systems into a single interface. ADS designed and built the command center and video observation center for the city that has allowed CMPD to activate a new department that is focused on real time crime 24 hours per day. The systems has expanded to include video from multiple departments to include DOT, Utilities Department, Parks and Recreation cameras, as well as other departments and has migrated some commercial video feeds from throughout the city. ADS teamed with the Cities IT department to assist in providing both a wired and wireless infrastructures that provides video to central storage. Along with the system, ADS redesigned the CMPD interview rooms at both the Headquarters building and at the precinct. This partitioned the system to allow viewing and control of sensitive video to select users. ADS is currently assisting the city with expansion and is providing system support as a full time member of the city. Project Description: McGuire Nuclear Station ADS provided the design and installation of a new video network infrastructure to support the security requirements for this critical site. Along with the new network, ADS provided additional hardware to expand the system capabilities and is currently providing 24 hour system support and maintenance. Future plans include the continued expansion of the system with critical integrations to disparate system and the migration to a true enterprise solution. Project Description: Boomtown Belle Casino Due to budgetary constraints, this client opted to use a multi-phase conversion from analog to digital recording on this project. ADS developed a migration plan that initially focused on key coverage areas, eliminating downtime, and increased observeration productivity, while staying within budget. Consideration was given to long term space needs, HVAC, and power requirements once the full migration was completed. ADS is currently working on the final phase of conversion. Project Description: Classified This project involved the complete design of a CCTV and perimeter detection system without the benefit of a site survey or schematics/site plan. We used Google Earth and written details to develop the entire system. We were able to successfully install and integrate all equipment within the customer’s timeframe and budget due to detailed planning and testing. We designed a complete mock system to test all components and integrations. The equipment integrated included long range CCTV cameras, outdoor Infrared illuminators, outdoor PIRs, and a video management system. The outdoor PIRs would sense motion and notify the agent inside. It also pans a PTZ to that zone as well as activates the illuminators during dark hours of operation. The most difficult part of this project was the design of the equipment to be easily and quickly deployed with little input required from the agents to operate.

Project Description: Old National Bank With over 200 sites, ONB is the largest bank in the state of Indiana. ADS has upgraded the Corporate HQ to Genetec Security Center 5.2 for access control as well as bringing in some 25 recently added branches with HD cameras and access control. The expansion plan is to convert all branches to Genetec security center. Project Description: Seneca Nation of Indians Casino ADS designed and implemented a large scale CCTV and Access control system with multiple sites feeding back to one command and control center. We developed a 7 door man-trap including bulletproof glass doors and garage style roll up doors to allow money to be safely transported in and out of the building via armored vehicle. We developed, designed and installed the first microwave transmission system to be used in New York state to bring video, audio, and access control data back from a remote site to the command and control center. This secondary site was located across an interstate and no other form of interconnectivity was available. We also utilized multiple copper and fiber technologies to deliver data throughout the facility. We integrated a highly scalable video management software overtop of their existing digital video recorders to allow deeper integrations to other hardware, complete case management, and improved back-up solutions. This installation was a fast-tracked project with very tight timelines. To expedite installation, many sections of the rack design and cabling were completed off-site in our technical facility. Project Description: Mecklenburg County Parks and Recreation ADS has partnered with the county parks department to provide design services, consultation, and installation of an enterprise security system that will allow the department to centrally monitor over 240 separate sites and provide this situational awareness to the city and county police departments.

Complete Redundancy is Engineered into Every Project
Project Description: Hollywood Casino ADS is involved with this exceptionally large project that requires coordination with multiple trades to meet the strict installation deadlines. This unique project requires custom fabrication of various camera mounts and 11 Station Casino Observer Consoles. Complete redundancy is engineered into this project, including redundant HVAC, Generators, UPSs, and recording devices. The project involved use of multiple IDF closets and large pair feeder cables in order to limit the number of free stranded cables entering the head end control room. In addition, field device power supplies were located remotely to limit voltage loss caused by long distance runs. Complete integration of all products was a necessity for this installation. The custom system we provided allows a single graphical user interface (GUI) user to access and control live and recorded video, monitor alarm points, and compare point of sale receipts with actual video., Additional features enabled the creation and editing of incident reports, tying them to video and/or photos, while keeping all time records accurate via an integrated GPS based time clock.
Product Description: Indy Live Casino This project involved the relocation of existing equipment, including 450 cameras as well as the addition of expanded capacity and capabilities. In addition, this installation included 32 monitors, 5 observer consoles, 112 alarm contact points, 64 access controlled doors, all integrated into one video management system, as well as integrating Point of Sale terminals with the CCTV sytem. The system is multi-redundant with Raid 6 recording and built in spare DVRs for redundancy. The complexity of this installation was increased due to requirements of minimal downtime for the move from the temporary casino to the permanent location. The detailed schedule was met while cordinating with other trades. This project was successfully completed to the client’s absolute satisfaction.
Project Description: River City and Lumiere Casino’s These 2 projects had multiple integrations into single command and control platforms. From one graphical user interface (GUI) a user is able to manage a cpmplete installation including: access and control of live and recorded video; observe, verify and grant access to areas; compare point of sale receipts with actual video; create and edit incident reports and tie them to video and/or photos; and keep all time accurate via a GPS based time clock. Included in this installation is High Definition IP, as well as standard Analog cameras located in both indoor and outdoor environments. Due to union limitations, the customer requested that we rack, cable, program and test all head end equipment in our technical facility off site. To ease the final installation, we carefully marked and labeled every piece of equipment and created drawings for reassembly. Significant engineering went into this prep due to cables running between multiple racks. Due to the ADS design, the local union was able to reassemble it all; reconnecting all cables with no issues or delays. This process cut onsite installation time by 75% and insured that the customer received the standard of quality and consistency they expected from ADS.
Project Description: University of Kentucky Working with BCCLT Consulting Engineers this is culmination of many years of testing and development with the University of Kentucky to provide a cutting edge campus wide integration of High Definition video surveillance, advanced access control, mass notification with extensive database integration to provide a single smart card solution for all campus facilities. This includes one of the largest research hospitals and equine research facilities. The project will extend for several years and involves many specialty partners such as electrical contractor, door hardware contractor, several manufacturers but the main back bone is Next Level Security Systems Gateway 4000 with custom software integration to the main UK database for staff, student and faculty.
