Bowls club to install top-range CCTV system following act of vandalism

31st March 2015 12:20 pm Comments Off

Members of a top bowls club have decided to install a high-end CCTV surveillance system to guard the premises after vandals destroyed its turf a few weeks ago.

Members of the Frinton Bowls Club have been working round the clock to try to fix the damage since it was found nearly three weeks ago as their new season starts in April, a news report has been able to reveal.

Now, the club has decided to put £800 towards new CCTV cameras to stop it happening again.

Club bosses will pay the money themselves from membership fees to make sure the hi-tech gear is installed quickly, but have appealed for help to fund it. Secretary Richard Roffe has asked Frinton and Walton Town Council for a donation.

He said: “The club is about to take its membership fees for the next year, but the vast majority of that goes on running the club and maintaining the green. We agreed we have to get the cameras because the damage was awful.

“We have got one of the very best clubs and greens in the whole of Essex and it needs to be protected.”

Police force to issue 1,000 body-worn cameras to frontline staff

25th March 2015 11:17 am Comments Off

A police force is set to issue no less than 1,000 body-worn cameras to frontline staff in a bid to enable officers to collect evidence on the spot, a recent release has been able to reveal.

Bedfordshire Police hopes that this initiative will help them save time, increase transparency and help to bring offenders to justice.

The cameras follow other initiatives by Bedfordshire Police to increase effectiveness and efficiency through technology. Many frontline officers are now equipped with digital notebooks, meaning routine tasks can be done in the field rather than back at the station, helping to keep officers out in the communities.

Head of Continuous Improvement, Supt Jim Lunn, said: “The cameras are extremely useful since they mean evidence can be collected quickly and in a completely transparent way. It is good news for the public, good news for officer safety and bad news for those who act in a criminal way.

“Other forces using this technology have found that the cameras have contributed towards early pleas from offenders, a reduction in challenges to police evidence in court, a reduction in the number of complaints against police and they have had a positive impact upon domestic violence prosecutions.”

CCTV Surveillance supplies a full range of CCTV cameras designed to meet any customer’s specific needs and requirements, including here a variety of Digital CCTV Body Cameras.

Digital CCTV Body Cameras are usually higher quality than bullet cameras and require a lens to be attached to them. This may be a long lens where the subject is at a distance or a wide angle lens if the subject is closer, e.g. in a corridor or room.

Furthermore, vari-focal lenses can also be employed which allow you to manually adjust the zoom level of your body camera. This awards users the ability to shape a CCTV security system exactly to their requirements.

Carmarthenshire residents urged to have their say on the future of CCTV

17th March 2015 11:44 am Comments Off

Residents across Carmarthenshire are urged to express their opinions regarding the future of the CCTV system in their area following the Dyfed-Powys Police and Crime Commissioner’s decision to withdraw funding for the service, a news report can reveal.

The proposal is to continue to support the on-going costs such as links back to the police stations and electricity to ensure activity is recorded and can then be accessed for police use. On the other hand, the provision for live or active monitoring will however cease.

The decision was based on the findings of an independent review commissioned by the Commissioner which concluded that there was no case to support active monitoring of public CCTV and that there was little evidence that the cameras deterred violent or alcohol-related crime.

However, before a final decision is taken on CCTV, members of the public will be asked for their views. The consultation is now being carried out on i-Local asking people how they feel about the CCTV recommendation, whether it affects them or their family, and inviting suggestions on how any impact could be lessened.

Wrexham town centre to get new CCTV system, free Wi-Fi to come as bonus

10th March 2015 11:45 am Comments Off

Wrexham town centre could get new CCTV cameras and free Wi-Fi hotspots as part of a £400,000 proposal to combat crime, a recent news report in the local media has been able to reveal.

Wrexham council is looking to upgrade its CCTV system, which currently consists of about 95 cameras across the county, with a new hybrid wireless system that will allow free Wi-Fi hotspots to be installed across the town centre.

Furthermore, cameras would be moveable under the upgrade meaning they could be shifted around Wrexham to tackle crime spots as they arise.

It comes as a new Wrexham CCTV control room, whose location is secret, nears completion.

Wrexham council’s executive board had allocated £330,000 to that particular scheme, but it came in well under budget at £256,000.

Council leaders now propose to fund the new CCTV system, using the surplus £74,000 cash and a one off contribution of £158,000 from the local authority’s Assets and Economic Development Department’s budget for 2015/16.

In addition £168,000 is being sought from the Welsh Government’s Vibrant and Viable Places regeneration fund.

New “invisibility glasses” could disrupt facial recognition technology, developers claim

4th March 2015 12:55 pm Comments Off

Antivirus software developers AVG have announced the development of a very innovative product designed to help users maintain their online anonymity – the “invisibility glasses”.

Developed by AVG Innovation Labs, the glasses help protect one’s visual identity in the digital age. Through a mixture of technology and specialist materials, privacy wearables such as invisibility glasses can make it difficult for cameras or other facial recognition technologies to get a clear view of one’s identity.

While the technology behind invisibility glasses is still in the prototype phase, there are generally two different methods of combatting unwanted facial recognition: Infrared Light and Retro-reflective Materials.

The use of infrared light to break facial detection software was first introduced Isao Echizen of Tokyo Nation Institute of Informatics.

The idea is to place infrared LEDs inserted around the eyes and the nose areas. Since the infrared lights are completely invisible to human eyes, they are only detectable by cameras which are sensitive to the wavelengths of these LEDs.

Retro-reflective materials help maintain privacy at the moment that the image is actually taken.

While most surfaces reflect light by diffusing or scattering it in all directions, retro-reflective materials are specially designed to reflect light back at the same angle as it arrived.

If caught in flash photography, retro-reflective materials will send most of the light back to the sensor. This will result in an image that will put the Dynamic Range of the camera sensor to test.

The implications of using such items can be really serious, since they could potentially disrupt systems designed to enforce security.

Cardiff hospital staff to fit staff with CCTV body cameras

17th February 2015 3:22 pm Comments Off

Staff at a hospital in Cardiff will be issued body-worn cameras in a bid to cut down on violent attacks and abuse they are frequently subjected to, a recent news report has been able to reveal.

The Cardiff and Vale University board says a quarter of all attacks and incidents in Wales happen to staff on its sites. For this reason, security staff at the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff have been given five personal CCTV devices while a further six cameras have been ordered for the health board’s other sites.

It is hoped the cameras will act as a deterrent – and also as a tool to gather evidence to help prosecute offenders.

Manned CCTV system helps drive down crime levels in Wyre

3rd February 2015 12:53 pm Comments Off

A newly reinstated manned CCTV camera system has helped drive down crime levels across Wyre, a news report in the local media can reveal.

Statistical figures for the 2014 calendar year show criminal damage and anti-social behaviour were both down. The latest figures for the 2014/15 financial year show the trend looks set to continue.

Coun Roger Berry, Wyre Council’s cabinet member for neighbourhood services, said figures distributed at last month’s Wyre Community Safety Partnership meeting showed theft was down eight per cent and shoplifting had fallen by more than five per cent in 2014.

During that time, total crime dropped 3.4 per cent, although police said the current year-to-date figures since April are showing an even bigger fall of 5.1 per cent.

He added: “While we are not complacent, we are obviously very pleased.

“We have the CCTV, which is manned by volunteers, that is really helping the police.

“We have it in all four shopping centres in Wyre and they are able to assist police.”
