City of El Cajon Project profile

El Cajon is seen as a leader among cities. Through the vision of the El Cajon City Council, El Cajon can balance new growth and development while preserving a rich and honored heritage. The City staff is professional, knowledgeable, and focused on providing exceptional service to the constituents. In alignment with this vision, the City partnered with EIDIM Group to modernize the audiovisual systems and support within the City of El Cajon’s owned facilities.

Project Description

The upgrade project included the integration of advanced display technologies, audio solutions, and control systems across three critical spaces: the Community Room, Training Room, and Communications Center. These spaces are essential for meetings, emergency response coordination, training sessions, and 911 call and dispatch operations.

Each room was carefully evaluated to meet current and future needs, allowing for flexible inputs, clear visuals, and high-quality audio to ensure all participants, whether in-person or remote, can engage and respond effectively. Equipment was installed with flexibility in mind, allowing quick access to inputs and outputs for various uses, including press briefings, real-time incident monitoring, and training exercises.

Rooms with Upgraded AV Systems

Public Safety Center Community Room

This large multi-use space is designed for meetings, press briefings, and use as an Emergency Operations Center. The room features the integration of advanced audio-visual racks placed in dedicated adjacent rooms for easy access and maintenance. Flexibility is an added key feature, with the ability to add multiple computer inputs without requiring a wired podium. Additionally, the new system provides five new audio outputs with XLR connections to accommodate press audio recording needs.

Public Safety Center Training Room

A medium-to-large conference space primarily used for police department training that supports up to 30 participants. Video walls were installed in this room to facilitate both training videos and interactive sessions. The displays are large and clear, paired with reliable, loud audio to ensure all attendees can hear and engage with the content. Wireless and HDMI inputs are included, allowing guest presenters to connect their laptops quickly and easily

Public Safety Center Communications Center

The City’s primary 911 and police dispatch call center. It is equipped with mounted displays used for monitoring building surveillance, street cameras, cable TV, and other critical incidents. The system has been designed with adaptability in mind, offering the ability to add new inputs on the fly as needed to address evolving situations. This flexibility supports real-time monitoring and incident response, enabling staff to act quickly and efficiently.

Project Outcome

The audiovisual system upgrade has transformed these vital spaces into modern, flexible, and reliable environments for public safety communications, training, and incident management. The upgraded systems allow staff and officials to monitor multiple inputs simultaneously, respond swiftly to emergencies, and conduct clear, effective training and briefings.
