  1. Petition supporting mandatory CCTV in slaughterhouses gets strong public backing

    Comments Off on Petition supporting mandatory CCTV in slaughterhouses gets strong public backing

    A petition launched by the World Horse Welfare charity that demands mandatory CCTV in slaughterhouses licensed to take horses, has been signed by 43,737 members of the UK public before being handed to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra).

    According to a news report on the matter, the campaign was initiated to ensure that the public and horse owners are confident that equine slaughter is carried out humanly. It has been quite successful, as it received the backing of public figures such as BBC Formula One presenter Lee Mckenzie, British Olympic equestrian sportswoman Mary King and three-day eventing elite sportswoman Pippa Funnell and husband William.

    Despite the strong public support for this petition, Defra’s response on the matter was not particularly forthcoming, a Defra spokesperson arguing that “CCTV is not the most effective monitoring tool. There are more effective ways to ensure animal welfare standards are upheld. We’ll be keeping the need for compulsory CCTV in slaughterhouses under review.”

    North Yorkshire Police released fresh CCTV footage in a bid to trace a suspect connected to a sneak-in burglary at an elderly man’s home in a Swaledale village, a news report in the local media has revealed.

    Detectives issued images of the suspect entering the victim’s house on two separate occasions, and it is believed that cash was stolen from the victim’s wallet at least once.

    Detective Constable Karl Middlemiss said: “This is an audacious and cowardly crime, targeting an elderly and vulnerable person in their own home.

    “We urge members of the public to contact us as a matter of urgency if they can help identify the suspect in the images. The man is seen entering the victim’s home, followed by a vigilant neighbour who challenged his presence in the house.”

    A Hull City fan has been banned from football matches after setting off a flare inside a stadium and being picked up by its extensive CCTV system, a news report in the local media has revealed.

    Following the incident and the official ban, it’s a crime for him to attend any match for three years. Furthermore, he is also not allowed to go within one and a half miles of the KC Stadium four hours before kick-off and two hours afterwards.

    CCTV Surveillance has an extensive experience in the field of surveillance and security installations, our company being able to deliver both the advanced products and the set of skills required to match the customer’s exact requirements, while also keeping well within the budget limits.

    Our advanced CCTV software enables “live” footage to be viewed remotely from any or all connected CCTV cameras as events happen and without degradation of video quality, allowing you to monitor your premises when offsite.

    Additionally, footage can be captured at a rate of up to 25 frames per second – the same rate as that of the PAL standard for commercial video playback – however, this often leads to the generation of large image files. The software enables you to adjust the frame rate allowing you to retain evidence quality CCTV footage whilst reducing the amount of memory required for each video clip.

    Built-in MPEG-4 support provides simultaneous viewing of both JPEG and MPEG-4 video streams, allowing the user to optimize bandwidth usage on constrained network.

    The British Transport Police are stepping up their investigation and making extensive use of CCTV footage following an incident that saw the Ayr to Glasgow Central service collide with a bike that had been thrown on the line between Milliken Park and Johnstone, Renfrewshire.

    According to a news report in the local media, the mountain bike was thrown from a footbridge above the railway line and the incident caused travel disruption. The train was evacuated at Johnstone and the passengers transferred to replacement buses before the train was eventually removed from the line.

    Given the extent and nature of this incident, it actually had quite a negative knock-on effect, with services to and from Glasgow Central disrupted for hours afterwards.

  6. CCTV spy car will try to curb illegal parking in Leeds

    Comments Off on CCTV spy car will try to curb illegal parking in Leeds

    A spy car fitted with latest-generation CCTV equipment has been deployed by the local council on the streets of Leeds in an attempt to curb illegal parking, a news report in the local media has revealed.

    Although it’s currently on a 2-week trial, the vehicle has already been deployed to check on dangerous parking around schools and late at night in the city centre, namely specifically those areas of the city where there have been complaints about illegal parking from the police or members of the public.

    Although this move by Leeds City Council comes after the Government announced new proposals to ban spy cars which are being used to catch people parking illegally, it seems that the local authority is not issuing tickets to drivers as part of the trial. However, motorists who are caught parking illegally will be issued with warnings.

    A spokeswoman for Leeds City Council said: “We currently have the car on trial for two weeks to target areas of concern where we have previously had complaints from the police or the public. It is not being used for general parking offences. We have used the car to check on dangerous parking around schools, and late at night in the city centre where parking issues are causing issues of public safety. We are not issuing any tickets as part of the trial, but in extreme cases we will issue warning notices.”

    CCTV Surveillance has an extensive experience in providing customers with complete and comprehensive CCTV solutions, that adhere to the highest security standards. In fact, all of our surveillance products are fully compliant with the UK Police Requirements.

    Plans drawn up by police forces regarding the introduction of a Cumbria wide CCTV system are set to go under scrutiny during a top-level crime-fighting meeting at the start of December, a news report in the local media has revealed.

    Cumbria’s crime commissioner, Richard Rhodes, and the county’s chief constable, Bernard Lawson, will carry out a careful analysis of the plans for a system that would run more than 50 cameras from the county’s police force headquarters.

    Firm details have yet to emerge publicly about the nature of the network, the costs and where the cameras would go. A spokeswoman for the office of the commissioner said: “The executive board in December is expected to make a decision on CCTV for a county-wide approach.”

    The widespread use of CCTV surveillance systems has managed to help drive a 48% drop in crime levels within the Lincolnshire town of Barton-upon-Humber near Scunthorpe, a news report in the local media has revealed.

    By implementing a reliable CCTV surveillance system and improving the lighting system across the town, local authorities have managed to halve crime between August 2011 and August 2013.

    As Paul Vickers, Barton town councillor explains: ”We have extended the CCTV and we have really good lighting in the town – All these things really help focus and concentrate on areas where there has been trouble.”

    “The reduction, indicated in August, reflects the hard work and dedication of officers who help to detect crime in North Lincolnshire. We will continue to work to bring offenders to justice and ask the public to help support us in this by reporting any potential criminal activity to police.” a spokeswoman for Humberside Police.

    Since CCTV played such a pivotal role in reducing crime levels across Barton-upon-Humber, implementing such systems is a measure other local authorities should consider as well, and this is specifically where CCTV Surveillance could put its extensive experience to very good use.

  9. West Midlands police to monitor CCTV feeds from buses in a bid to reduce crime

    Comments Off on West Midlands police to monitor CCTV feeds from buses in a bid to reduce crime

    As part of a widespread operation aimed at making buses in Birmingham a lot safer, West Midlands police became the first force in the UK to monitor real-time bus CCTV feeds, a news report in the local media has revealed.

    The operation involved a 10-year old bus that was filled to the brink with the latest-generation video and audio surveillance technology. The bus was followed by an unmarked police car with specialist “spotters” watching out for known offenders or suspicious behaviour, and officers armed with hand-held metal detectors were also stationed at bus stops and were in contact with cops in the unmarked car.

    The new bus streams the images directly to a tablet or laptop in the following car using on board wi-fi and 4G technology, but the live footage can also be easily broadcast to control centres. Moreover, it is also fitted out with scratch detection technology on windows and is due to trial face-detection technology.

  10. Local authorities plan to use CCTV-style cameras in order to fine cars parking illegally during school runs

    Comments Off on Local authorities plan to use CCTV-style cameras in order to fine cars parking illegally during school runs

    More and more local councils are considering using CCTV-style video surveillance cameras in order to snap parents who park illegally when dropping and picking up their children from school, a news report has revealed.

    Although the technology (a slightly modified CCTV surveillance system that only activates during the school run and is able to zoom in on the number plates of cars parked on restricted parts of roads) is still going through tests in five London councils and at least two more outside of the capital, it’s quite likely that complete systems will be rolled out on a wider scale in the near future.

    Although the system seems to have struck quite a positive note with a large number of local councils, representatives of the National Motorists Action Group said that the cameras are illegal, as according to government guidelines, such systems should not be used regularly.

    CCTV Surveillance has an extensive level of experience in the installation and maintenance of both large and small CCTV systems capable of providing your site with a sophisticated monitoring system. By using the right cameras and DVR’s for your requirements you can be assured that your CCTV system will surpass your expectations.

    Our models of CCTV camera have colour CCD sensors, so footage will always be recorded in full colour. We also provide cameras with a range of facilities to cater for different light range or colours enabling clear pictures whether day or night.
