  1. Facial Recognition CCTV Systems to be Deployed in Malta’s Paceville district, PM confirms

    Comments Off on Facial Recognition CCTV Systems to be Deployed in Malta’s Paceville district, PM confirms

    Facial Recognition CCTV systems are set to be deployed in Malta’s Paceville district in a bid to step up law enforcement efforts, a recent news report in the local media has been able to suggest.

    Located west of St. Julian’s, Malta, Paceville is the name given to an informal district heavily populated with nightclubs, bars, pubs and restaurants, and is an important nightlife hub on the island.

    The plan is to install high-definition CCTV cameras all across Paceville and connect them to a mobile control centre. Facial recognition software will then be used to identify people as they walk in and out of Paceville, and police officers out on the beat will relay data of lawbreakers to the system which would then pick out people’s identities.

    “The police are doing a good job but there’s a lot of work that still needs to be done to step up enforcement,” the Prime Minister Joseph Muscat said in an interview “We are looking into safe city concepts to prevent antisocial behaviour, whereby CCTV systems with technology that can identify law-breakers can do away with the need to have police stationed 24/7 in certain areas.”

    Despite warnings from the Malta IT Law Association that these systems can have an intrusive effect on privacy, the prime minister has insisted any implementation of this technology will be in full respect of data protection and privacy regulations.

    CCTV Surveillance – The experts in deploying Facial Recognition CCTV systems

    The Facial Recognition CCTV solution supplied by CCTV Surveillance dynamically compares images of individuals from incoming video streams against those stored in a predefined access control list and immediately sends alerts when a positive match occurs.

    The technology yields a very good level of performance despite partial occlusions of the face, the use of glasses, scarves or caps, changes of facial expression, and moderate rotations of the face. Moreover, it does not allow users to be impersonated using photographs.

    This biometric technology is the perfect solution to control the access to restricted security areas, especially since we’re talking about a completely automated system that requires very little interaction with the operator.

    Our Facial Recognition CCTV system can be easily integrated with existing ID management products and enables administrators to easily create Whitelists/Blacklists for specific areas, while subjects can be very easily enrolled from one or more photographs.

    The system fully supports runtime alarm management, is highly tunable (control based on time-frames, sequentially, etc) and even allows alarms to be exported to common formats (PDF, Excel) and remote devices (mobile, PDA, tablet, security control centre).

  2. CCTV Surveillance Systems can double as research tools in the urban environment

    Comments Off on CCTV Surveillance Systems can double as research tools in the urban environment

    CCTV surveillance systems (including advanced solutions offering facial recognition capabilities) can also double as research tools for the urban environment, researchers have argued.

    When anyone closes the door of their apartment and steps outside, it is possible (and increasingly likely) in a modern city to walk into a digital surveillance network and become part of something that is stored and analysed centrally.

    In addition to conventional filming and photography, the police use mobile surveillance cameras to monitor and personally identify participants in demonstrations and to document violations of demonstration requirements and laws.

    Furthermore, an increasing number of state institutions are using video surveillance systems to protect their buildings and premises from attacks such as burglary, theft, vandalism and sabotage or to be able to intervene quickly in the event of possible infringements or to identify the perpetrators retrospectively.

    However, CCTV surveillance systems can be used for a variety of other purposes, including conducting research into people’s behaviour and helping improve their lives in an urban environment.

    For example, CCTV systems connected to other environmental monitoring systems in smart cities could help determine where a lot of people are at a certain time, what buses they take, how many miles they travel, etc.

    A new CCTV system is set to go live in Saundersfoot, a recent news report in the local media has been able to suggest.

    The installation is part of the Dyfed-Powys Police and Crime Commissioner Dafydd Llywelyn’s key pledge to reinvest in a public CCTV system throughout the force area.

    Other Pembrokeshire locations for CCTV investment include: Fishguard, Haverfordwest, Milford Haven, Pembroke, Pembroke Dock, and Tenby.

    Pembrokeshire Superintendent Ian John said: “Having these two cameras live and recording ahead of Ironman Wales Cymru is great news for Pembrokeshire. We are expecting an influx of thousands of visitors to the area to participate and spectate this celebrated event.

    “Having the two cameras in Saundersfoot will assist with policing of the area during a particularly busy time and should also serve as reassurance to the public that they are there as extra support to the police, to potentially deter crime and provide evidence for any criminal proceedings.”

    A dedicated monitoring room is currently being fitted with the technology to monitor CCTV cameras at Police Headquarters in Carmarthen.

  5. Edinburgh CCTV system expensive and out of date

    Comments Off on Edinburgh CCTV system expensive and out of date

    Edinburgh taxpayers pay the equivalent of £800,00 to Police Scotland for a CCTV system that no longer meets requirements.

    In total the system costs £955,354, and Police Scotland, the highest users, pay back just £128,000.

    The council has 226 CCTV cameras including 17 that are re-deployable. Around £634,000 is spend on staff operations of the service and almost £62,000 goes towards maintenance.

    Labour Cllr Gordon Munro said: “There’s £827,354 that we do not get back from that – the highest user of this service is Police Scotland.

    “We make no demand on Police Scotland – but Police Scotland make a demand on us for the CCTV images. We get no income from them, we get no investment in the infrastructure. Yet we provide them with £2.6 million a year, ten times more than any other local authority in Scotland.”

    Independent Cllr Claire Bridgman added: “My understanding is that the current state of the CCTV system is that it’s literally creaking at the seams.”

    The council’s internal audit report revealed that there is a high risk over “a lack of corporate CCTV strategy” and “a number of significant control gaps” relating to data protection, the council’s information security and records management policies.

    The council’s executive director of resources, Stephen Moir, said: “The current CCTV network is no longer suitable for the future. A simple replacement with a like-for-like CCTV network is not the right answer for the authority or for the city.

    “We need to look at a much more integrated solution with our public partners.”

    Comments Off on Gloucester Cathedral installs CCTV cameras to deter anti-social behaviour

    Gloucester Cathedral has installed 17 CCTV cameras to help decrease anti-social behaviour around the building.

    56 incidents of anti-social behaviour were reported at Gloucester Cathedral in the first six months of 2017, including theft, criminal damage and drunken behaviour.

    According to police CCTV operators, the cathedral is often used as an escape route for shoplifters thanks to its numerous entrances and exits. The new cameras will be monitored at Gloucestershire Police control room in Quedgeley.

    Theo Platt, head of development and communications hoped that the cameras would act mainly as a deterrent.

    “We will be installing new signage to make it obvious that there are cameras in operation,” he added. “Lots of different people use this space, we want to make sure people are safe and that it’s an environment people want to spend time in.”

    CCTV supervisor Alison Wright said: “We lose an awful lot in the cathedral grounds, with regards to shoplifters who run. There’s an awful lot of exits and entrances into the cathedral grounds, it will be brilliant we can now follow these people. CCTV is now expected and plays a huge part in anything we need evidence for.”

  9. CCTV Surveillance System can deliver enhanced site security for SMEs

    Comments Off on CCTV Surveillance System can deliver enhanced site security for SMEs

    Closed-circuit television (CCTV) surveillance cameras are among the best security enforcement solutions for companies of all sizes, including small and medium enterprises, as they act as potential intruder deterrents and are also capable of providing evidence in case of a theft or other criminal activity.

    CCTV cameras– also known as video surveillance or security cameras – allows you to record and monitor what’s happening on your premises. Whether you use wall-mounted cameras or standalone devices, security cameras are used to enhance safety, as well as to provide evidence, should a crime be committed on your property.

    One of the first things SMEs have to decide upon is the type of cameras they are going to install on their premises. These might include wireless IP cameras – digital and connected to the internet, accessible from anywhere in the world, or wired cameras, which are typically the traditional choice for video surveillance as they do not need to rely on, or run, a computer and internet connection continuously.

    Another important element to factor in when designing a CCTV surveillance system for SMEs is the camera(s)’ location – it is important to decide early whether your company will require indoor cameras, outdoor cameras or both.

    It’s important to decide how much and how long you can store the recordings and whether your need some extra features, such as night vision or facial recognition. Other factors one should consider are the image resolution required (so whether you need high levels of detail or not), and design – discrete cameras versus high-visibility models designed to maximize the deterrent factor.

    Last, but certainly not least, it’s important to consider the pricing for your system, and also the after care options that your installer might deliver.
