This is a new requirement for a fully integrated hybrid-cloud physical security camera system that delivers high-resolution video, encrypted onboard and cloud storage, and advanced intelligent analytics without the use of traditional on-premises servers, NVRs, or DVRs. The system must operate as a unified platform in which all cameras, access control devices, environmental sensors, alarms, and guest management tools are natively integrated and managed through a single browser-based and mobile interface. It shall support secure access across Windows, ChromeOS, macOS, iOS, and Android without proprietary plugins, and must automatically deploy software and firmware updates to maintain cybersecurity posture without customer intervention. All devices must be rapidly deployable through modular plug-and-play onboarding, enabling new hardware to be added in minutes via QR code or serial number registration. The system must incorporate Zero Trust cybersecurity principles, including identity-based authentication, multi-factor authentication, TLS encryption, AES-128 or AES-256 encryption for data in transit and at rest, role-based access control, and comprehensive audit logging. Compliance with federal and industry standards—including SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI, FERPA, NDAA, TAA, UL, and support for FedRAMP-authorized cloud environments—is required. The solution must provide intelligent analytics such as person and vehicle detection, facial and object search, motion heatmaps, crowd detection, environmental alerting, and the ability to filter video by appearance, clothing color, vehicle type, or unique facial attributes across multiple cameras and sites. Cameras must support high-resolution imaging up to 4K, infrared night vision, image stabilization, and at least 30 days of encrypted onboard retention with optional unlimited cloud archiving. The system must also provide secure sharing of live or historical footage, emergency access for authorized law enforcement, and real-time notifications for critical events such as tampering, motion, environmental anomalies, or system health issues. Overall, the solution must be scalable, cyber-secure, compliant, and capable of delivering a unified, cloud-managed physical security ecosystem that meets the operational and regulatory needs of the government.
