  1. Nexus Industries Bolsters Security with CCTV Surveillance

    Comments Off on Nexus Industries Bolsters Security with CCTV Surveillance

    CCTV Surveillance Case Study: Nexus Industries

    With over 70 years of experience, Nexus Industries’ brands of Luceco LED Lighting, BG Electrical, Masterplug, and Ross are market leaders in key electrical categories. The company has a head office in London with global offices in Telford, China, Houston, Hamburg, Paris, Barcelona, Dubai, Hong Kong, and Johannesburg offer sales and support to European, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, African, and Asian Pacific regions.

    Nexus’s UK facilities include a 10,000 square metre manufacturing, assembly, distribution, warehousing and sales divisions based in Telford, stocking over 2,000 product lines.

    “We recorded an increase in the number of incidents and thefts over the past few years because of the nature and value of the products at our Telford site” explained Richard Gardner, IT Manager at Nexus Industries. “For this reason, we decided to start looking for a security and CCTV surveillance system that would cover all our premises.”

    After reviewing several competing systems, Nexus Industries selected a Tensor and CCTV Surveillance to install a security system along with the Tensor.NET Time & Attendance and Access Control softwares to manage their site security.

    Richard recalled, “we selected Tensor from one of the 3 firms shortlisted capable of meeting our CCTV requirements. In the end, the Tensor proposal was chosen because it  was the best value for money.”

    Tensor has extensive experience in installing, commissioning and managing comprehensive video management solutions. They use products from the Tensor partner range to deliver the highest performance in the industry. With that, customers are assured of receiving the most reliable systems available. Tensor integrate video surveillance into their Tensor.NET access control and facial recognition security system as well as other third-party equipment including ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) to provide an overall site-wide security system.

    No major problems were encountered during the system’s installation. In Richard’s own words, “The installation went very well for a CCTV system, with minimum disruption to daily activities.”

    After the Tensor CCTV surveillance system was installed, Richard was taught how to use it by one of Tensor’s CCTV experts. “Very effective and informative” was how Paul described the training process.

    Are Nexus Industries using their Tensor systems at their full potential? “We’re certainly using the CCTV system to its full potential. While we’re not constantly monitoring it, the system has certainly helped us attain our main goal – improving overall security,” exclaimed Richard.

    “We are still in the process of deploying the time and attendance monitoring where we are adapting our internal policies to maximize its functionality within our company,” he added.

    Whilst CCTV systems are an effective crime deterrent and provide recorded video footage for post event analysis or evidence, the big benefit to a business is enhanced through real-time remote monitoring of the CCTV system. Here, extra eyes are provided during an ‘event’ and immediate response through live audio, to challenge potential intruders as well as recording the situation. Tensor’s CCTV remote monitoring centre responds to CCTV system activations 24 hours a day, all year round.

    Tensor utilises the latest digital CCTV technology to ensure that buildings and property remain secure. When intelligently linked with remote monitoring, CCTV can also prevent crime, with Tensors full audio facilities, which enables our analysts to give warnings to potential attackers or assistance to staff, customers and other visitors to the site.

    When asked what he likes most about the Tensor CCTV system, Richard’s answer was simple, “it’s easy to use, good quality video and doing exactly what’s needed.”

    Richard has used the Tensor after sales help desk where he described his experience as “excellent, very good.” He then added, “the help desk analysts initially tried to solve our problem over the phone. Unfortunately, that was not possible, so an engineer’s visit was booked. The engineer visited our site the next day and sorted out the issue in a very fast and professional manner.”

    Tensor only uses qualified and experienced personnel from security industry, electronic engineering, IT and integration, defence electronics and the armed forces backgrounds. Our objective is to provide unprecedented quality of after-care.

    When asked if he would recommend Tensor to other companies, Richard replied, “Yes, I certainly would.”

    Summing up his experience of Tensor, Richard concluded, “Tensor is an excellent, professional company, delivering reliable products.”

    Local residents in a Melbourne neighbourhood have joined forced to install a full-coverage CCTV surveillance system, thereby creating what they consider to be “Australia’s safest street”, a recent news report in the local media has been able to reveal.

    Residents of Teatree Street in Diggers Rest have put together a network that provides constant coverage of the entire street, with 18 cameras installed on five houses. They were motivated by increasing crime in neighbouring areas.

    Through an app, homeowners can see what’s going both in their own yard and along the street.

    While the system is not exactly very cheap, it’s more affordable than similar individual solutions, each participating households paying $400 for membership of the network, and a $150 annual fee.

    In return, they get 24-hour access to every camera on the street.

  3. Plans put forward for installing a CCTV surveillance system in Shepshed town centre

    Comments Off on Plans put forward for installing a CCTV surveillance system in Shepshed town centre

    Plans for installing five CCTV surveillance cameras in Shepshed town centre have been put forward by a sub-committee, who has proposed that the majority of money left over from a Charnwood Borough Council grant be used to fund video surveillance, a news report in the local media has been able to suggest.

    Shepshed Town Team had secured £35,000 as the borough council had agreed to roll forward the remainder of a two-year Shop Front Grant to be used to improve shop fronts or to be used to fund projects being explored by sub committees.

    Now one sub-committee has proposed £27,893 of the left over grant money be spent on five CCTV cameras in the town centre (with the price including around the clock monitoring).

    Shepshed Town Team secretary Anne Collier revealed that another party may partially fund the CCTV which will allow the remaining grant money to go further. She said the next step is for the sub-committee to present a proposal to the Town Team and, if approved, the idea will be put to the borough council.

  5. China’s CCTV Surveillance Plans – 600 Million Cameras by 2020, All Facial Recognition Enabled

    Comments Off on China’s CCTV Surveillance Plans – 600 Million Cameras by 2020, All Facial Recognition Enabled

    China plans to add 450 million CCTV surveillance cameras to its already existing 176 million units by 2020, while also extending the reach of its facial recognition systems, experts in the CCTV surveillance market have argued.

    Deploying facial recognition systems on a massive scale should be an easier process in China than in most other parts of the world, mostly due to the pre-existing centralized image database of citizens, all of whom must have a government-issued photo ID by the age of 16, together with billions more photos found on social networks.

    Facial-recognition cameras are being used in China for routine activities such as gaining entrance to a workplace, withdrawing cash from an ATM and unlocking a smartphone. Other existing uses include on a running track to check that people aren’t taking shortcuts, and in churches, mosques and temples, where CCTV cameras are deployed in conjunction with facial recognition to keep tabs on exactly who is engaging in these activities, which are regarded with suspicion by the authorities.

    CCTV Surveillance – 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).

    The CCTV Surveillance Face Recognition CCTV solution enables superior management options for all surveillance and security databases, enabling higher productivity via faster searches and identifications with this user-friendly system and will pay for itself by reducing losses and increasing bottom line profits.

  6. Police claims CCTV system helps solve 75% of crimes in New Dehli

    Comments Off on Police claims CCTV system helps solve 75% of crimes in New Dehli

    Police in New Dehli claims that their CCTV surveillance system has helped officers solve 75% of crimes in the city, a news report in the local media has been able to suggest.

    While the CCTV system is not a very modern one and some of the footage is not evidence-grade quality, officers claim it is good enough to use for identifying people at a crime scene. At best, a senior officer readily said, low-quality CCTVs can prove a particular incident took place, especially if it occurred at night.

    Criminals, acquainted with the fact that the cameras are of low quality, often use helmets or scarves to ensure their features are obscured in grainy videos. “The only solution to this is to install more cameras because at some point, perhaps at some distance from the crime scene, the criminal is bound to remove his face cover and allow us make positive identifications,” a Delhi Police inspector argued.

  7. Facial recognition CCTV cameras to be deployed on Australian public transport network

    Comments Off on Facial recognition CCTV cameras to be deployed on Australian public transport network

    Facial recognition CCTV cameras are set to be deployed across the public transport network including trains, trams and buses at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games in Australia next year, to identify potential terror suspects before they can get close to any sporting or public venue, a news report has been able to suggest.

    In what will be the most far reaching public use of the technology, the sophisticated technology will be linked into the network including platforms and major stops and monitored around the clock during the 11-day event next April by some of the more than 10,000 security personnel tasked with Games security.

    It was hoped faces of suspects could be identified in the crowd and rapid ready response police and military deployed before they could get close to events and estimated 1.5 million spectators expected to attend.

    The Australian Federal Police is driving the project with the Gold Coast seen as the best test of a sophisticated facial network due to the city’s already high-level use of CCTV cameras.

    But the technology could also soon become a feature at other major sporting and public events about the country as the Federal Government looks to ramp-up mass-gathering public security in the wake of recent terrorist attacks including Manchester and London.
