There are a number of surveillance cameras located around the Virginia Tech campus. Although they were previously maintained and monitored by individual departments, with the implementation of Virginia Tech Policy 5617, all new installations will be centrally monitored by the Virginia Tech Police Department and supported by Communications Network Services.
Areas currently under surveillance including parking lots, the Drillfield, and public spaces like the Library Plaza and Dietrick Plaza.[1]
History
Beginning in April 2011, Virginia Tech entered a three-phase contract with X7 Systems, a company based in Fairfax, VA, to install up to 2500 surveillance cameras on the main Blacksburg campus. The first phase of the project included installing up to 50 cameras in the Perry Street Garage, and the second phase includes upgrading the existing approximately 250 cameras on campus.[2] The cameras being installed under this contract are a mix of brands, including 4XEM, AXIS, Arecont Vision, Pelco, Sony, and possibly others. They are all IP-based and use Power over Ethernet.
