    Comments Off on Local authorities in Northern Ireland spend £1.8m on new CCTV cameras

    Local councils in Northern Ireland have spent an estimate of £1.8m deploying closed-circuit television cameras in the past three years, a news report in the local media has been able to suggest.

    A report by Big Brother Watch found that nine councils spent £1,813,735 on installing, operating and maintaining their CCTV networks between 2012 and 2015. There are just over 200 surveillance cameras in operation in the region, excluding the Belfast, Antrim and Lisburn areas.

    The highest expenses were recorded in Newry Mourne and Down, where the council spent an estimate of £381,549, while the lowest was recorded in Antrim and Newtownabbey, at around £42,110.

  2. Deployment of CCTV surveillance system leads to massive drop in attacks at crime hotspot

    Comments Off on Deployment of CCTV surveillance system leads to massive drop in attacks at crime hotspot

    A massive drop in the number of attacks recorded alongside a Bedfordshire crime hotspot was achieved with the help of a new CCTV surveillance system deployed in the area, a recent news report has been able to reveal.

    Dog Kennel Path in Dunstable and Houghton Regis hit the spotlight in 2012 after a couple of attacks on heavily pregnant women. However, the former hotspot for robberies has been transformed by the work of Central Bedfordshire Council alongside Dunstable and Houghton Regis Town Councils.

    In 2012 more than £250,000 was invested in the scheme to make the path safer and more attractive.

    Part of the investment included the installation of state-of-the-art CCTV surveillance, while the Community Safety Partnership has given a number of areas facelifts by removing graffiti, litter and overgrown plants.

    The constant hard work from all parties involved has resulted in the number of recorded crimes dropping by 80% whilst usage has also increased.

  3. Plans to deploy 24-hour CCTV surveillance system in Weymouth town centre enjoy warm response

    Comments Off on Plans to deploy 24-hour CCTV surveillance system in Weymouth town centre enjoy warm response

    A 24-hour CCTV monitoring system could soon be deployed in Weymouth town centre after councillors at the borough Management Committee agreed a Pan-Dorset CCTV proposal, which will ensure the continuation of CCTV provision across Weymouth and Portland at a reduced cost while supporting a wider initiative to benefit Dorset.

    Currently Weymouth town centre has a 12-hour CCTV system operating from 4pm to 4am. However, CCTV in Weymouth and Portland has reached a point where closure of the service would likely be required in order to make the Service Review savings of £135,000 per annum.

    Existing third party contributors will be asked to commit to three years’ funding in order to ensure consistency and continuation of the service. This will leave Weymouth and Portland Borough Council a payment of £93,000.

  4. ANPR – Automatic Number Plate Recognition

    Comments Off on ANPR – Automatic Number Plate Recognition

    After identifying the number plates on any vehicle, ANPR systems can easily log the date, time and location of the vehicle, and proceed to carry out an action based on the data (save the information in a database for retrieval at a later time, issue an alert should the plates match against a specific database, open a gate, etc.).

    While ANPR is commonly associated with law enforcement use (speed ticketing, congestion area charging, identification of stolen vehicles, etc.), the system has numerous applications designed for private use.

    By installing ANPR cameras at a car park’s entrance and exit and checking number plates against an existing Access Control database, organizations can rest assured that only authorized vehicles are able to access their premises. Plus, with ANPR and automatic barriers, access to any car park can be significantly improved and streamlined.

    Whether your site only requires a simple system with a single PC and scanner or you’re looking for a fully integrated solution spanning a large premises, CCTV Surveillance will be able to provide you the necessary assistance in choosing the ANPR system that best suits your requirements.

    Comments Off on Rapid Deployment Asset Protection Systems (RDAPS)

    RDAPS includes a high-definition camera system of evidential quality and a self-contained high-definition NVR platform with full video analytics capabilities, fully integrated 2-way audio and alarms.

    Featuring a rugged, weather and vandal-proof design, RDAPS is the ideal CCTV monitoring and recording system for remote sites and trouble hotspots, delivering enhanced remote situational awareness, as well as real and actionable remote assessment of the targeted protection area.

    RDAPS has been designed to protect assets located in vulnerable or remote locations, where current constraints exist due to a lack of power and/or communications. The system is equipped with a Solar/Wind Turbine charged battery system, as well as multiple wireless communication platforms (Wi-Fi, 3G/4G, etc.)

    The Tensor Rapid Deployment Asset Protection System is totally transportable and can be re-deployed as frequently as required on multiple sites. Our unique purpose built tower provides a platform which transports the system from site to site and when in ‘deployed-mode’ forms a self-contained secure working platform, functioning as a fully integrated remote video system.
