Featuring vandal-resistant construction, flush-mount design and toughened steel construction, the EX36 is virtually indestructible and ideally suited for what may be one of North America's toughest housing projects.
The EX36 fits perfectly into the upper corner of a room, ensuring no grip or anchor points and preventing the
camera from being torn off its supporting walls. The EX36 is specified for a wide variety of surveillance projects for its innovative feature set, which includes 24/7 functionality using active-infrared night vision.
The New York Housing Authority consulted David Gonzalez of system integrator Elcor International to address the issues of the project. "We specified the EX36 camera over other cameras because of its rugged design and ability to monitor an
entire room, even under the camera," said Gonzalez. "In other housing projects, existing elevator cameras are being replaced with Extreme's EX36."
N.Y. Councilman Eric Gioia said, "These security cameras will make Queensbridge residents feel safer when they come home to their families at night." Gioia added that crime in the nearby Ravenswood Houses project, which has had cameras for three years, is down almost 27 percent this year.
"When Mayor Bloomberg announced Operation Safe Housing over a year ago," said Howard Marder, public information officer for the NYC Housing Authority, "he said that every New Yorker deserves to live in safe housing. He made a commitment to public safety, coupled with the support of the New York City Police
Department, the Housing Authority, our residents and the courts."
The NYC Housing Authority is the largest in North America, encompassing 2694 buildingsin 345 developments.
