The Customer
The Bergen County Courthouse and Jail in Bergen County, N.J., represents a combination of old and new. Built in 1911, the Bergen County Courthouse is a historical landmark and its architecture reflects the Beaux Arts classicism popular at the time for public buildings. Today, the courthouse and jail campus integrates state-of-the-art technology featuring a computerised central command centre tied to all inmate-housing areas, integrating security for the protected premises, and a duress and panic alarm system. But with its prior analogue CCTV system, the Bergen County Courthouse and Jail lacked strong images to provide personnel with the ability to view critical video to respond proactively to threats, liability issues and other problems.
