Head of Facility Management Rick Martina at the Ministry of General Affairs recently returned from attending a conference in Miami that featured Mobotix security cameras.
The Government of Sint Maarten received a participation award as an end user of Mobotix surveillance equipment which is used to monitor its facilities and keep civil servants and members of the Council of Ministers safe and secure.
Mobotix has been producing megapixel cameras exclusively since 2003 and is regarded the global leader for high resolution video systems.
Breathe-IT is an information and communication technology company who is the authorized distributor of Mobotix technologies. Breathe-IT was founded in 2006 on Bonaire with the goal to offer up to date, quality network management and installation services, computer hardware and software, computer accessories and security devices.
Breathe-IT has been the authorized distributor of Mobotix since 2007, and created the first Mobotix training facility in the Caribbean in 2012.
The security of government facilities falls under the Department of Facility Management. In 2014, Martina attended a course with respect to the technology being used.
Martina at the conference was able to gather information and get to see first-hand the latest in camera technology. The trip is related to having cameras installed in the new Government Building. There will be a Security Room where security staff will be able to monitor the entire complex and its outside perimeter.
The Government already has various Mobotix cameras installed in different offices and at several facilities such as the Ministry of Public Housing, Spatial Planning, Environment and Infrastructure, Public Service Center Simpson Bay, Department of Civil Registry, and the Government Administration Building.
The company that installs the government security cameras is Security Concepts & Solutions NV.
