OBJECTIVES

• To supply and install 61 Hikvision CCTV cameras of equivalent type — comprising 41 dome cameras, 2 PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) cameras, and 18 bullet cameras — in the same locations as the removed Bosch cameras.
• To integrate all newly installed Hikvision cameras seamlessly into the existing network infrastructure, Video Management System (VMS), and recording equipment.
