What the buyer is looking for

On a rental basis, a total of 6 solar-powered video towers, independent of the grid power, are to take over the monitoring of the site. The customer is responsible for transport, installation, service and maintenance during the rental period. In addition, permanent (24 hours a day) monitoring and alarm tracking as well as evaluation of the images are carried out by the contractor's security centre. In the event of an alarm, intervention shall be made by means of a security service contracted by the Contractor. On behalf of the State of NRW, NRW.URBAN GmbH & Co. KG issues the order in its own name and on behalf of the NRW Land Fund. Video surveillance takes place over an initial period of 12 months. An extension of another 6 months is possible. If the area to be guarded is sold beforehand, the assignment ends accordingly. Main place of performance
