DISCUSSION The United States Department of Homeland Security, Office of Grants and Training manages the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) funding program. This initiative was designed to enhance the domestic preparedness of urban areas by ensuring that all emergency first responders have adequate and appropriate equipment and training to prevent, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism. The US Department of Homeland Security has identified Critical Infrastructure & Key Resources (CIKR) protection as a priority for state and local jurisdictions. The Anaheim /Santa Ana Urban Area funded a video security /surveillance system for the Civic Center and Police Department within the City of Santa Ana. This system includes 48 cameras located at the Police /Jail facility and 35 cameras in the Civic Center area. The Civic Center system includes video feeds located on federal, state, county, and City facilities. The Police Department is currently working with other City staff to incorporate feeds from other City cameras, including cameras located at the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center, the Corporate Yard, the Main Library, and the Garfield Learning Center. The system is very scalable and the Police Department is working on incorporating feeds from other high priority locations throughout the City. 25B -1 Agreement with Siemens for Video Monitoring Center January 21, 2014 Page 2 The Police Department is proposing to enhance the existing system by adding a video surveillance center or "video wall ", which will provide users with greater scalability and the ability to monitor many more video feeds of various sources. The video monitoring center will include nine 55" high definition screens that will allow staff to select and customize the feeds based on priority /emergency needs. The addition of the video monitoring center will establish the Police Department's video surveillance system as one of the premier video surveillance systems in the state. The base agreement is for $197,546 and a $19,754 (10 %) contingency has been added for unanticipated improvements, for a total not to exceed amount of $217,300. The base agreement includes all monitors, Dell workstations, Hiperwall software, and licensing needed to operate the system. Santa Ana City Municipal Code Section 2 -807 (d) authorizes the City to purchase from vendors who have been awarded the same type of purchase contract from any public agency utilizing a competitive bid process. The equipment, software and services associated with this project will be acquired through Siemens (original vendor /architect/builder of the system) using the National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA).

Sincerely, David Engel and Doug Hicks Siemens Industry, Inc. Siemens Industry, Inc. 10775 Business Center Drive Cypress, CA 90630 25B -14 SIEMENS Siemens will put into place an effective and reliable common operating picture system allowing the City of Santa Ana to monitor various critical data, real time information and video surveillance feeds onto a single large video wall and share with other large screen displays within SAPD PAB. Siemens is acutely aware that SAPD needs assurances that the installed system will work as intended within budget and schedule. Therefore, Siemens recommends the use of the COP System and associated components. System highlights: ✓ Delivers a common operating picture to share screens onto multiple large screen monitors for situation room environments across a common IP network. ✓ Uses Commercial Off The Shelf hardware to display in resolutions of up to 5760 x 3240 on a 3x3 monitor wall ✓ Video wall system is driven by software and IP networks and not a single proprietary video switching box. ✓ Utilizes standard City IT hardware and software manufactures for better support between Siemens and City IT (HP, Cisco & Microsoft) The entire system is robust, scalable for the future, independent, customizable, mobile- enabled, remotely accessible and completely open architecture using Commercial Off -The -Shelf (COTS) products that meet or exceed City standards. The entire system will be operational within schedule and personally overseen by a PMP certified, Siemens Project Manager; thereby ensuring you that Siemens is committed to quality, and in doing so, helping the SAPD provide a better common operational picture. +j ���Siemens allows for simplified and cost effective procurement through the NJPA.

COMPONENTS Hiperwall Hiperwall, Inc. is a University of California at Irvine (UCI) spinoff established to commercialize video wall display technology based on research and technology developed at UCI's California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2). Hiperwall is a high - performance low -cost video wall software solution that can display a wide variety of content with unmatched speed, flexibility and functionality in extremely high - resolution. The commercialization of the Hiperwall system was completed with the assistance of UCI, Tech Coast Works, and The Orange County Business Incubation Network, a public benefit initiative of the Don Beall Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at UC Irvine's Paul Merage School of Business. Figure 2- Hiperwall at NASA looking at deep space photography Hiperwall technology enables users to create a very large format, ultra- high - resolution video wall from a group of contiguously mounted monitors. The software coordinates the display of each individual monitor so they appear to the viewer as one large display. Hiperwall supports the display of images up to one gigabyte or larger in size. The system can move, zoom and otherwise manipulate these extremely large images in real time, providing unique viewing capabilities that are valued in a variety of fields including medical, satellite and other forms of scientific imaging. The Hiperwall system also offers the ability to display real -time duplicates of screen images from one or more PCs connected to the video wall. Each duplicate is automatically updated as the image changes on the screen of the originating PC. As a result, an entire room of people can see what is happening on Siemens Industry, Inc. 10775 Business Center Drive Cypress, CA 90630 25B -18 N lA _ . w multiple PCs, eliminating the need to crowd around conventional desktop monitors. This capability enables a Hiperwall installation to meet the control room requirements of transportation systems, trading floors, command centers, the power industry, and other venues where there is a need for several people to view multiple data sources simultaneously. (See Appendix A for product brochure) Medical imaging, satellite imagery, astronomy and scientific imaging all produce extremely large images that cannot be viewed in their entirety at full resolution using conventional display technologies. This limits professionals to seeing details of one portion of the image at a time, or seeing the full image without any detail. Hiperwall solves this dilemma by enabling professional to see large images in their entirety at high resolution. In other words, with Hiperwall you can see the forest and trees. The following images are from an ultra -high resolution aerial composite photograph of the University of California, Irvine. The original image is 12,800 by 8,000 pixels, making it far to large to view in its entirety on any ordinary display system. The image above shows the composite photo in its entirety, greatly zoomed out so it can fit in the allotted area. The image on the right shows the amount of detail that can be seen on the entire image if it is viewed with Hiperwall software managing a 5 x 5 matrix of 30" high resolution LCD monitors. This level of detail will be available at all points on all 25 monitors. In addition, the Hiperwall software makes it possible to adjust the zoom level, position, transparency, coloring and rotation of the entire image on all 25 monitors in real time.
