  1. CCTV system in Gloucester to undergo major upgrade

    Comments Off on CCTV system in Gloucester to undergo major upgrade

    Security cameras in Gloucester are set to undergo a major technological upgrade after playing an essential role in enforcing public safety across the city, which are monitored by the Gloucestershire Police but are paid for and maintained by Gloucester City Council.

    All 58 cameras installed in the city will first undergo a review process before the council moves forward with the existing plans to upgrade the system, which were first agreed by councillors in September 2012 with promises of a new modern wireless system being in place within two years at a cost of around £400,000.

    On average the city’s CCTV system helps with 600 to 750 incidents a month.

    PC Mark Mansfield, who helps police the city centre, commented: “The new cameras are going to be wireless so if there is a problem area where a camera may be obscured by overgrown vegetation, it can be moved to give a clearer view.

    “They could also be moved to cover areas where there may be particular problems, such as with anti-social behaviour.”

  2. Petition to fit CCTV systems onto ferries signed by 96,000 people

    Comments Off on Petition to fit CCTV systems onto ferries signed by 96,000 people

    A petition calling for the installation of CCTV systems onto ferries that was started by the parents of a man who disappeared from a P&O ship has already been signed by 96,000 people, a news report in the mainstream media was able to reveal.

    Richard Fearnside, 30, of Whitstable, Kent disappeared on the P&O Pride of Kent ferry on 21 May, after going on deck for a cigarette.

    His parents, Marianne and Bob Fearnside said a CCTV camera on-deck may have shown whether he fell or jumped into the sea. The couple have set up an online petition calling for cameras on passenger decks, which has already been signed by close to 100,000 people.

    Mr Fearnside said: “Not only would CCTV help identify when people go missing and how, but it could also be a tool for the crew to alert crew members to get people off a deck if there was a storm suddenly coming up.”

    In a statement, P&O said it does have some external and internal cameras but it would be “impossible to cover all of the outside decks with CCTV” and “impossible to monitor such cameras in real time”.

  3. London local councils consider spreading the costs of CCTV maintenance

    Comments Off on London local councils consider spreading the costs of CCTV maintenance

    A local council in London is set enter into a multi-million pound CCTV deal with neighbouring boroughs in order to spread the maintenance costs for their respective surveillance systems, a news report in the local media was able to reveal.

    The Waltham Forest Council’s cabinet is likely to approve a joint contract with Newham, Redbridge and Enfield for the maintenance of the camera network in the borough.

    A four-year contract worth £7.4million would be available following a tendering process, with the total spend being divided between the four authorities.

    The joint venture would improve community safety and increase value for money, a report received by cabinet members suggested: “The tender will allow the London Boroughs of Waltham Forest, Newham, Enfield and Redbridge to provide CCTV reactive and planned maintenance services for Public Space Community Safety and traffic enforcement purposes for a four-year period. An in-house option was considered however this is proved to be impractical and the associated costs were prohibitive.”

  4. Hull CCTV cameras targeting bus lanes catch hundreds of drivers

    Comments Off on Hull CCTV cameras targeting bus lanes catch hundreds of drivers

    ANPR surveillance cameras installed along some of the busiest roads in Hull have caught hundreds of drivers illegally using bus lanes, a recent news report in the local business media could reveal.

    The cameras were installed as part of a two-week trial and Hull City Council staff noted “a very significant” number had flouted the rules. However, none of the motorists will receive a fine for the moment, but the city council’s cabinet member for transport, Cllr Martin Mancey, plans to study a detailed report being prepared for him by officers, before deciding whether to turn the cameras into a permanent fixture.

    For this trial, the cameras were inconspicuous, but Cllr Mancey stressed if they were to be rolled out on a permanent basis, with the threat of £60 fines, adequate signage would be installed.

    He also believes more motorists need to take heed of the current blue signs placed in the bus lanes, which inform drivers when they can use the lanes legitimately.

    Comments Off on Tiverton camera network could be upgraded, says police

    The Tiverton CCTV camera surveillance network could be enhanced with the addition of two more cameras, with funding for the improvements coming from the Proceeds of Crime Act.

    Devon and Cornwall Police have donated £2,500 to Mid Devon District Council in order to help the local authority add two more CCTV camera units to the existing 16 spread across the town, a news report in the local media could reveal.

    The planned improvements are in the final stages of discussion and Mid Devon District Council intend to begin work on the system imminently.

    PC Kate Jefferies who has been working closely with Mid Devon district council on the proposals said “we hope the increase in the number of CCTV cameras will in turn result in a direct increase in detected crimes”.

    “It is extremely positive to work alongside Mid Devon District Council to deliver a more efficient CCTV system that will greatly enhance the public’s safety. We are keen to assist in future planning of the town to make is safer”, she added.

  6. Asia to account for 40.5% of the global CCTV market by 2024, market research report suggests

    Comments Off on Asia to account for 40.5% of the global CCTV market by 2024, market research report suggests

    Asia is will account for as much as 40.5% of the global CCTV market by 2024, mainly as a result of significant surveillance investment by the People’s Republic of China, an analysis report compiled and published by business intelligence company Visiongain suggests.

    Visiongain’s research, published in a report entitled CCTV Video Surveillance Systems Market 2014-2024: Equipment & Technologies: Digital IP, Analogue, Management & Analytics, forecasts spending on CCTV systems worldwide over the period 2014 to 2024, with Chinese expenditure being estimated at a total of $3.4bn in 2014 alone, well above its closet regional rivals.

    Elsewhere, prospects for CCTV vendors are likely to remain significant, especially in Europe and North America. Here, many public and private operators will continue to make the transition from analogue products to network-based systems.

    Visiongain’s lead security researcher commented: “We believe that the CCTV market is set to undergo definitive change over the next ten years, with technological improvements and varying regional expenditure altering both the ways in which CCTV is utilised and how strongly nations use it.

    Ultimately, this will increase the global market total of $23.3bn which is likely to be spent on CCTV products in 2014, although undoubtedly a relative decline is likely in several regions towards 2024, following a period of strong investment.”

  7. Town Council to contribute towards CCTV system’s maintenance costs

    Comments Off on Town Council to contribute towards CCTV system’s maintenance costs

    A town council in Cheshire, England, has decided to start contributing towards the cost of maintaining the CCTV cameras in the town in order to keep the camera properly up and running, a news report in the local media could reveal.

    Wilmslow Town Council will pay £16,650 for the period from 1st April 2014 to 31st March 2015 to cover the nine surveillance cameras in Wilmslow town centre so they are monitored, maintained and replaced where necessary during that period. This follows an appeal from the Cheshire East Council, who asked town and parish councils across the borough to contribute towards the cost of running CCTV cameras or face an immediate downgrade of monitoring and maintenance services.

    Even if the Town Council will pay towards their maintenance, the cameras remain the property of Cheshire East Council and responsibility for all recorded images will remain with CEC.

    Town Clerk Matthew Jackson said “Had the Town Council not agreed to this funding the cameras in question would have remained on a tour cycle only, not have been actively monitored for the security residents and not been proactive in the collection of evidence. In addition the cameras would not have been maintained nor replaced when the need arose. This is all as a result of budget cuts by CEC to this non statutory service.”

  8. Students are concerned about their safety following Ceredigion CCTV shut down

    Comments Off on Students are concerned about their safety following Ceredigion CCTV shut down

    Students union in Aberystwyth have expressed their concerns regarding their personal safety following the disconnection of Ceredigion’s network of 23 CCTV cameras, a news report in the local media could reveal.

    The County Council decided to cut funding for the CCTV system, and since the local councils were not eager to step up and take ownership of the system, it was effectively disconnected. Luckily, it’s just a temporary measure, with the cameras being simply covered and switched off, rather than dismantled altogether.

    A Ceredigion County Council spokesman said: “CCTV cameras are being disconnected from the electricity supply and covered. This is to ensure the safety of the equipment and to avoid unnecessary costs, while the system is not in operation.”

    Aberystwyth Students’ Union is calling for CCTV coverage to be retained for the safety of students and the rest of the community and expressed their disappointment that authorities were not prepared to take responsibility for the CCTV system.

  9. Brentwood CCTV camera covering busy night-life spot set to return

    Comments Off on Brentwood CCTV camera covering busy night-life spot set to return

    A CCTV camera covering a busy night-life spot in Brentwood is set to return to operational status in the near future after being out of action for several months due to building work.

    The local council has confirmed that they’re in negotiation with the developer of new flats above the Slug and Lettuce bar to ensure the area is covered in future, a news report in the local media could reveal.

    The development began at the end of last year, leaving the junction between the town’s two late night drinking venues unwatched.

    Ashley Culverwell, Brentwood Borough Council’s head of borough safety and localism, said:

    “The use of the CCTV cameras in Brentwood is part of a joint operation which involves the police, town centre traders, licensed premises and security staff who are actively using Townlink radio to identify suspicious behaviour and provide additional information which is co-ordinated by the CCTV control room to detect and prevent crime.”

  10. Anglesey CCTV system could be saved following review by local authorities

    Comments Off on Anglesey CCTV system could be saved following review by local authorities

    The decision to switch off the CCTV system across Anglesey could be overturned, at least locally, following an in-depth review of the costs associated to its operation carried out by two of Anglesey’s largest towns.

    Councillors in Holyhead Town Council have decided to look at ways in which grant funding could keep the town’s cameras running despite others across the island being switched off, a recent news report in the local media has revealed.

    The council members decided to review just how they could use part of the £7.5m cash windfall from the designated Vibrant and Viable Places (VVP) funding in order to keep the cameras rolling.

    Llangefni Town Council members have similar ideas, as they have agreed to look at ways to save its CCTV cameras.

    In a statement released earlier this year, Anglesey Council Leader Ieuan Williams said the authority had “little choice” but to withdraw services due to funding cuts. “We understand that this is a contentious decision, but our first duty as an Authority must be to protect statutory services – like social services – which we must provide by law,” he added.

    “CCTV is not a statutory service and as such we’ve taken the very difficult decision of ending this provision.”

    “Of course, we don’t want to withdraw any services but as the severe funding cuts affecting local authorities continue to bite, it’s reached the point where we have little choice.”
