MEMORANDUM FOR: <empty>, WARDEN
FROM: <empty>, FACILITIES MANAGER
SUBJECT: CAMERA PROJECT / RECORDERING

On Saturday August 10, 2019 I was informed that there was no recording of the closed circuit
cameras (CCTV) from recorder 2 (Nice). I had Electronic Technician see
about getting the recorder operational again by replacing the two (2) hard drivers and start the
rebuilding process. Mr. called Signet Technologies to make sure what he was doing was
correct and not going to make the problem worse. As the process of the rebuilding of the records
the FBI came to the institution to retrieve all video needed. They took all eighteen (18) hard
drives, two bad ones that were being replaced and the sixteen (16) that were in the RAID. While
this was happening I made phone calls to Steve Smith from Signet Technologies to see about
getting a technician from Signet to come to the institution to get the new CCTV equipment up
and recording. On Sunday August 11, 2019 Steve Smith called me back and informed me that a
technician will be on site Monday afternoon, Mr. Smith informed me to get Mr. to get all [ ]
the new equipment on the racks and ready for when Jeff McKenzie arrives. On Monday August
12, 2019 Jeff McKenzie from Signet arrived and started to look at the existing and new
equipment with Mr. . While they were looking the FBI came back and had question on
how the system worked and information about the old equipment. Mr. McKenzie assisted with
them on how to download what they were asking for. Since it was taking so long to download
the Agents left and would return the next day to pick up what was downloaded.

On Tuesday August 13, 2019 I had a teleconference with Signet Technli•eve Smith, Jeff McKenzie, Northeast Regional Staff MCC staff and myself to figure the best and fastest way to get the recording of cameras at the institution. During the conversation of what took place we found out that when the FBI took the sixteen (16) hard drives out of the RAID without it finishing the rebuild it might have corrupted any data on the drives. Signet also told us that they would be able to get us recording of the operational cameras by August 14, 2019.
