Scope of work

 

First of many upgrades to CBP facilities in the McAllen Sector, project was completed in 2004. The integrated access control, CCTV, Intrusion, duress and fire alarm systems were designed and implemented based on using a Hirsch Electronics Velocity access control platform. The CCTV and access control systems were integrated to provide real time viewing and ID card verification to the main Command Center. Additional stations in the Sector have the same platform and are networked back to HQ via secure networks when requested.

 

HQ consists of four buildings on campus with growth to over eight when all buildings are​​ completed. The campus consists of over 32 acres of area with an extensive perimeter system using CCTV and access control.
