The system will include 260 workstations, 55 monitoring centres, 2,500 operators, digital video storage covering 30 days of recordings, and the authentication of video evidential material.

The contract covers design services, hardware, software licences, and maintenance for a period of six years. Deliveries will take place in 2011 and 2012.
