When Wright started at Lagoon Park approximately 10 years ago, the video system was outdated by modern standards. To take advantage of the wiring infrastructure available throughout the park, Wright designed and implemented a video surveillance system that employed what was truly defined as video security technology.
In essence, Wright wired video cameras throughout the facility in the same method as a cable television system, where each camera signal was modulated and viewed by channel designation at various locations throughout the facility. However, in a few short years, it became apparent that the system set-up was not adequate to handle the extra volume of cameras needed to provide adequate coverage of the park – there were simply not enough channels available on the system for each camera. Camera control, switching and recording were also significant issues to be addressed.
