Entrances and Exits

Government buildings require staff to show identification prior to entering. BCD security technology allows decision-makers to record out-of-the-ordinary interactions with staff and the general public.

Offices and Workstations

Monitoring locations where personal belongings and devices sit helps deter unauthorized access and theft. Whether someone is out of the office for travel or steps away for a few moments, there is an opportunity to capture unwanted activity.

Conference Rooms

Placing government video surveillance equipment in areas where employees gather for meetings and presentations enables staff to spot incidents that otherwise go undetected. Government teams can better watch over technology intended to stay put.

Building Perimeters

It’s proactive to record people walking on government property. If a government building is vandalized, damaged or altered, leaders can review the footage and get a better idea of what happened and who was involved.

Courtrooms

A government building may hold court hearings. Monitoring trial participants and jurors helps support safety and incident reporting.

Public Hearings and Town Halls

Local and municipal government properties often host city council and commissioner meetings, town halls and public forums where sensitive topics can lead to high-temp interactions. Video systems enable quick response, document what happened and serve as permanent records.

Municipal Services Buildings

Video surveillance can support safe, secure operations and help prevent unauthorized activities at local and state services buildings, such as the DMV, code and permit offices and tax collection bureaus.

Solutions Suitable for the Government Sector

Selecting the right technology for government applications requires understanding the diverse operational environments and security protocols across different facility types. BCD offers proven solutions designed to meet the stringent requirements of federal agencies, state governments and municipal operations. Review the solutions below that are appropriate for government buildings and different military applications.

Harsh Environment Servers and Switches

Surveillance equipment needs to be built for the environment it will live in, especially when government facilities could contain military equipment. With BCD, government professionals can learn more about harsh environment servers and switches engineered to work around vibrations from machines or explosions. Place technology near military training grounds, vehicles and extreme conditions.

Network Switches

BCD relies on Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise OmniSwitch solutions for government projects due to their proven performance in secure, high-performance networks. ALE has been trusted by the Department of Defense for over a decade and deployed across the U.S. Navy fleet. Their inclusion on the DoD APL offers a dependable and federally trusted solution for critical infrastructure. Learn more about ALE’s solutions for federal projects with this case study.
