  1. CCTV system in Burton might be shared with police in cost-cutting bid

    Comments Off on CCTV system in Burton might be shared with police in cost-cutting bid

    East Staffordshire Borough Council has been actively looking for ways to reduce the operational costs of its CCTV system for quite a while and is now considering plans to “share the burden” with local police forces, a news report in the local media can reveal.

    The yearly bill for running the CCTV system amounts to £100,000, so, for the past few years, the council has considered various money-saving options. One such option was to seek funding from other users of the borough’s 54 cameras, another was removing some of the cameras which are not considered as useful as others.

    Police currently do not currently contribute towards the cost of CCTV, according to a borough council report from last year, and they haven’t been approached about the plan.

    Derby City Council has decided to tackle the problem of drivers misusing bus lanes and blocking bus stops head-on with the help of a new CCTV system that includes both mobile and fixed cameras.

    According to a media report on this matter, bus stops will be monitored by four mobile cameras, a CCTV car and parking enforcement officers, while the the bus lanes will be monitored by existing CCTV, the car, and the officers.

    The levels for fines are set nationally and stand at £60, reduced to £30 if paid within 14 days, for abuse of a bus lane; and £70, reduced to £35, for obstructing bus stops.

    The council said in a statement that: “It is important that bus lanes are kept free for buses, so that they are not delayed by other vehicles. In some instances, bus lanes provide access to sensitive areas where there are large numbers of pedestrians while other bus lanes give buses priority at traffic signals.

    “To ensure that we get the very best from both public transport and our road system, it is important that the guidance and rules we set out are followed.”

    A new high-end CCTV system has been installed at the Brands Hatch motor racing circuit near Swanley in Kent, England, prepares for its first test of the new UK track-limits rules.

    According to a news report from the motorsport media, the circuit’s owners have decided to have this technology installed in order to help enforce the revised regulation, which enables drivers to use the asphalt up to and including the white line, and the full extent of any kerbs.

    The new system,will use pressure sensors to detect when a car goes off beyond exit kerbs and trigger video footage from a high-resolution camera.

    This will take two pictures – a zoomed-in image to show the wheel’s proximity to the kerb and a wide image to show if there were other factors in the car running wide – that will then be displayed on dedicated screens in race control for cases to be judged.

  4. Croydon “spy” CCTV cameras could be banned next month

    Comments Off on Croydon “spy” CCTV cameras could be banned next month

    The CCTV cameras installed by Croydon council that managed to rack in £2,009,973 in fines from motorists over that past couple of years could soon be banned, a news report in the local media has recently revealed.

    Figures released by the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) showed that Croydon was one of the worst offenders on terms of using CCTV for bolstering its coffers, a practice shunned by the government’s new set of guidelines, which were released last year.

    According to their calculations, Croydon made £10.4 million in 2012/3, compared to £6.4 million the year before. However, the council argued that the figures were not accurate, claiming that they’ve only managed to obtain a £5.4 million income from fines and an overall income from parking services of £10.23 million in 2012/3.

    Last week, local government minister Brandon Lewis pledged his support for supporting existing guidelines and clamping down on councils raising revenue through parking fines. He also said he would back a ban on the use of cameras.

    On the subject of cameras being banned, a spokesman for the Croydon council said: “Croydon will comply with any new legislation as and when it is introduced if changes are implemented for CCTV enforcement for parking legislation.”

    Comments Off on Mansfield doormen to start wearing CCTV body cameras

    Staff working for a specialized doorstaff firm in Mansfield will soon be wearing CCTV body cameras as part of a project to reduce drink-related crime in the area, a news report in the local media can reveal.

    The cameras will be visible to customers at several nights spots and the company’s managers hope that the move would significantly deter abuse coming both from patrons and door staff, who’re likely to think twice before acting, knowing that their actions are being recorded on camera.

    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.

  6. Future still uncertain for long-awaited CCTV system in Kidderminster

    Comments Off on Future still uncertain for long-awaited CCTV system in Kidderminster

    The future of a long-awaited CCTV system set to be installed in a Kidderminster street that has been plagued by crime and anti-social behaviour is still uncertain, as the contractors involved with the project delayed the project’s outcome, a brand-new media report on this topic has recently revealed.

    Shop owners in the area have been asking for the surveillance system to be put up in this area for over 10 years, and they now fear that the setback could mean the cameras would not be installed until next year.

    They set up a petition to have CCTV installed after being intimidated by drunken yobs hanging around the street at night and following a number of street robberies, which were probed by police.

    Wyre Forest councillor Fran Oborski, who has been organising the CCTV project, tried to play down the traders’ fears and explained that the scheme would be going ahead, adding: “The delay is because of agency contractors.

    “All the project management and contractors are all in place so the scheme is about to proceed. It will be a couple of months before it is installed. The project should be starting in the next six weeks or so. I will be contacting the traders who are affected.”

  7. Two CCTV cameras and a recording unit set to be installed in Ballymoney

    A surveillance system featuring two CCTV cameras and a video recording unit could soon be installed in Ballymoney, should the proposal forwarded by the PCSP Policing Committee receive the green light.

    According to a news report published in the local media, installing a new CCTV system in the town would have number of positive effects, including assisting in reducing fear of crime, particularly during the hours of darkness and thereby encouraging development of a night time economy, preventing and reducing crime and antisocial behaviour and assisting in the investigation and identification of those involved in crime and antisocial behaviour, e.g. shoplifters, assaults, burglaries and criminal damage to commercial premises, antisocial motoring.

    Another possible benefit would be the identification of traffic congestion or disorder allowing earlier deployment of police officers to the scene.

    The Ballymoney PCSP has put out a tender for a wireless system consisting of two CCTV cameras and a recording unit, which would be funded in partnership with the PSNI from within the 2013-2014 financial year.

  8. Hartlepool Borough Council recommends the use of CCTV in taxis

    Comments Off on Hartlepool Borough Council recommends the use of CCTV in taxis

    Hartlepool Borough Council has decided to recommend the use of CCTV systems in taxis following a serious incident in the area, a news report in the local media has recently revealed.

    The local authority’s decision comes after a cab driver in his 40’s was injured by a knife-wielding passenger in Musgrave Walk, around 2am on Saturday. The cabbie, who was subsequently taken into the local hospital, was released later that day and is still off work recovering.

    The team managing the company the driver was working for argued that if CCTV systems were fitted in cabs then “people might think twice” about attacking drivers.

    Ian Harrison, Hartlepool Council’s principal trading standards and licensing Officer, said: “The council’s position is clear. CCTV cameras are permitted so long as potential customers are informed before their journey starts that they are being filmed (usually by the display of prominent signage) and that subsequent video footage is only used for crime prevention purposes.

    “I am aware of some drivers who have recently installed cameras, at a low cost, and the licensing team would be happy to speak to any other drivers who are interested.”

    A nursery from Holland-on-Sea in Essex has decided to have a CCTV system installed in order to allow parents to keep an eye out on their toddlers remotely, a news report in the local media has recently revealed.

    The nursery decided to take this approach in order to give parents additional “peace of mind”, and the owners say that response from parents has been “fantastic”.
