• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

What mfg do you use? I have a Lorex system for home use, a towing company is looking for a decent system, my Lorex won't fit the bill, motion detection is iffy.

Don't know, they have a physical security group that takes care of them as well as the door access systems. I don't interface with them very often.
With only two 911 dispatchers on at a time (and sometimes a trainee) there's not a lot of spare eyes to watch the system. I know it's tied into security systems, so screens will pop up with intrusion alarms. Officers can call in and have them look back through the video to see what the trigger was. It all gets dumped to a server farm and retained for some period of time.
Unfortunately they don't always tell us when they add new cameras. We had a remote site that needed very low bandwidth. One day the T-1 just started going fully saturated and the few users at the location started complaining. Turned out the physical security guys added a new camera and didn't tell our bit-heads. But it was long since time we moved off T-1 circuits. They just turned up a 300meg link last week for them and I put in the disconnect order for the T-1. I think it was our last T-1 data link.
