PART 1 - GENERAL
1.1 SUMMARY
A. This section specifies the minimum requirements for video surveillance camera equipment.
The video surveillance systems and equipment specified in this section shall be an extension to
the video surveillance system (VSS) currently deployed throughout the Los Angeles
International Airport (Airport).
B. Contractor shall include in the bid all labor, materials, tools, plant, transportation, storage costs,
equipment, insurance, temporary protection, permits, inspections, taxes and all necessary and
related items required to provide complete and operational systems shown in the drawings and
described in the Specifications.
C. The Contractor is responsible for providing and coordinating final equipment arrangements,
locations, phased activities and construction methods that minimize disruption to operations and
provide complete and operational systems.
D. The Contractor shall coordinate interfaces to existing systems that are being extended in the
Project in order to minimize disruption to the existing systems operations. Any systems outages
shall be approved in advance and scheduled with LAWA.
E. The standard CCTV cameras to be installed throughout the airport are by Axis®
Communications Inc. with a few exceptions. These cameras communicate with the central
video management system via Internet protocol (IP) Ethernet communication over the Airport
multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) data network. The provision of this central system,
network, and storage is not in the scope of this Section.

H. Where possible, CCTV cameras shall be capable of being powered by power over Ethernet
(PoE) technology. PoE power for cameras shall originate from the network switches.
I. All cameras shall use unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable for signal transport. Camera video
signals and power shall be via the same cable where possible. Cameras that require greater
power than can be provided by the standard 802.3af PoE provided by the LAWA network
switches, shall be powered by centralized rack mounted high power PoE power injectors or
centralized rack mounted CCTV power supplies where possible. In the event that a specific
