Approved January 2010
This is a Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) between the campus community and ICIT to document:
The campus video surveillance system provides a consistent and secure means for campus entities to record, maintain, archive (at least 30 days) and access surveillance video. The system is operated centrally by ICIT in accordance with the Surveillance Camera Policy that was established by the Surveillance Camera Governance Group. This policy is available at
http://www.uww.edu/icit/policies-agreements/camera.html.
Video surveillance camera requests must be approved by University Police Services, and University Police Services must complete a background check before employees are allowed access to surveillance camera data.
Acquisition of Video Surveillance Equipment
Request for approval to place video surveillance equipment and to complete required background checks should be submitted to Matt Kiederlen, Chief of Police. Once approval is obtained, a request for consultation and installation should be sent to Nick Ciesinski, Network Architect.
User Responsibilities:

ICIT Responsibilities:
ICIT will maintain the infrastructure of the video surveillance system, including basic connectivity between the cameras and the surveillance server infrastructure.

ICIT does not charge for the shared infrastructure costs for the campus video surveillance system. Funding for the back end server infrastructure, hosting environment and ICIT staff time are all provided by ICIT.
Campus departments are required to provide funding for the components of the system that are used by the department exclusively. This includes the cost of video surveillance cameras, the software license required for each camera, and the cost of the storage used by the department’s video recordings. Since this cost varies based on the type of camera and recording settings, this cost must be estimated on a per-installation basis.
ICIT shall make a cost estimate of camera equipment, infrastructure recovery costs, and installation costs before the requesting party may agree to the purchase of any equipment. The purchasing party must document its willingness to meet these costs.
Service level agreements (SLA's) allow Instructional, Communication and Information Technology to offer colleges, departments and university organizations IT services on an enterprise level.
