During these events there are many security issues that can occur in a public form like the Anaheim Convention Center. These range from trespassing, theft, arson, riots or acts of public disorder. The Department of Homeland Security has also deemed city convention centers a likely place for a possible terrorist attack and has made great strides in helping to secure locations like the Anaheim Convention Center.

This installation consists of over 350 channels of encoded video using ACTi SED-2410, two-channel video server, all of which are rack mounted to allow for a better space-saving configuration. This system is controlled by an ONSSI head end that is also part of the City of Anaheim central operations center. The Anaheim Police Department also has access to surveillance video via a remote connection, so in the event of an emergency, the police can pick up live video to aid in the deployment of first responders.

Before the project was completed, the Anaheim Convention Center had many analog cameras ranging from fixed box cameras to PTZ's. Once connected to ACTi's video servers, all of their video was migrated over to an IP based solution with effective use ofthe existing network infrastructure. This allowed operators to view video at full frame rate (30 fps) with minimal bandwidth consumption per channel.
