The technical implementation of video surveillance systems will, over time be standardized using the Milestone system; with connectivity and alerting functionality from the UI physical security management system. An administrative committee is charged to oversee the appropriate utilization of surveillance, as described in the University Video Surveillance Policy.
Departments will initiate a workflow request (https://workflow.uiowa.edu/form/Video_Surveillance_System_Project_Request) that includes an electronic approval process, routed through the required levels in their organization, and completing the process with DPS-AccessServices@uiowa.edu. Prior to beginning the workflow process, please contact ITS for a quote to cover the cost of hardware and installation of the camera(s). Information Technology Services (ITS) & Campus Safety (CS) will review, estimate, and implement the project. You can reach ITS for a quote at ITS-ITConnect Service Requests its-itconnect@uiowa.edu.
