  1. Jersey panel set to review efficiency of CCTV surveillance system on the island

    Comments Off on Jersey panel set to review efficiency of CCTV surveillance system on the island

    A scrutiny panel has decided to start a very thorough evaluation process of the CCTV surveillance system installed on the island of Jersey, in an attempt to assess its overall efficiency. As a news report on the matter informs us, the move follows the decision made by Jersey Police to extend the CCTV system installed on the island.

    Since there’s currently no formal regulations governing the overt use of CCTV in Jersey, members of the public are quite concerned with the possible invasion of their privacy, especially since, with advances in technology, cameras are getting smaller and cheaper, and more Islanders are installing them to protect their own property.

    According to the source mentioned above, the Channel Islands Data Protection Commissioner, Emma Martins, welcomes the Scrutiny Review of CCTV, especially due the rise in the number of complaints about invasion of privacy.

    Imposing a set of rules and regulations concerning the use of CCTV surveillance systems is of course quite a good idea, but so is extending them, in order to ensure a superior level of protection for the general public.

    And this is exactly where CCTV Surveillance might lend a helping hand, given the fact that we have an extensive experience in the field of security installations and we offer a very comprehensive set of Digital CCTV Body Cameras and Lenses, including here Digital CCTV Bullet Cameras designed specifically for situations when space and price are very important factors, Digital CCTV Covert Cameras, that can be easily hidden within a variety of locations, as well as Infra-red CCTV Cameras, that are very popular due to their ability to see in ‘absolute darkness’.

    Additionally, we also offer a comprehensive set of digital video recording solutions and control software, designed to help users easily review CCTV footage, at the best possible quality.

    CCTV Surveillance also touts 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.

    The dream life promised to residents in the Warbreck Gardens development in North Shore, Blackpool, seems to have turned into a nightmare, a news report reveals.

    Ever since the site’s developer, Chelford Properties Ltd went into administration, a group of houses that were never actually finished became a magnet for vandals, arsonists and thieves.

    Due to the problems they often encounter, residents say they regularly call the police and cannot live freely on the estate knowing all sorts of people are causing trouble and setting fires so close by. For this reason, they’re also asking for support from authorities, including some sort of surveillance system that would deter criminals from using the area as some sort of “no man’s land”.

  3. Newquay’s CCTV monitoring service saved by local council

    Comments Off on Newquay’s CCTV monitoring service saved by local council

    As Government budget cuts affect more and more local authorities across the UK, local councils are forced to make some pretty difficult decisions, taking things into their own hands, especially when very important public services, such as CCTV surveillance, are concerned.

    This was also the case with the Newquay’s CCTV monitoring system, which came under fire back in February, the as the central Government revealed plans to cut funding for disability recruitment company Remploy, which has manned the resort’s 27 cameras since 2011. And in order to save the team of seven members of staff operating the CCTV system, the town council took them on as employees.

    The service costs around £80,000 a year, £23,000 of which is paid by St Austell Town Council, since the team also monitors 11 cameras in St Austell. Frontline police staff have always maintained the CCTV monitoring team is a vital asset in the fight against crime, especially during the tourist season.

    Former mayor Andy Hannan, who led the drive to save the monitoring service when Cornwall Council offloaded it two years ago, said it was crucial for Newquay and stressed that recruiting the former Remploy team would not cost taxpayers any more – and could even save money.

    Maintaining or installing a CCTV surveillance system should be quite an important issue for any town out there, and this is exactly where CCTV Surveillance might lend a helping hand, given the fact that we have an extensive experience in the field of security installations and we offer a very comprehensive set of Digital CCTV Body Cameras and Lenses, including here Digital CCTV Bullet Cameras designed specifically for situations when space and price are very important factors, Digital CCTV Covert Cameras, that can be easily hidden within a variety of locations, as well as Infra-red CCTV Cameras, that are very popular due to their ability to see in ‘absolute darkness’.

  4. Cyber-crime may prove to be a very serious issue for digital CCTV

    Comments Off on Cyber-crime may prove to be a very serious issue for digital CCTV

    Although CCTV systems are typically associated to the idea of safety, the truth of the matter is that, when these surveillance solutions don’t offer a sufficiently high level of security, they can be used for a variety of illegal purposes.

    According to a recent news report, cyber-attacks on poorly-secure CCTV surveillance systems may have some very significant economic effects, especially when the targeted company is involved in sensitive research and development activities. Furthermore, information obtained in this way could also represent a serious threat to any country’s national security, allowing for the planning of various types of attacks, terrorist or otherwise.

  7. CCTV cameras boost public’s safety perception, but lack effectiveness in crime fighting

    Comments Off on CCTV cameras boost public’s safety perception, but lack effectiveness in crime fighting

    CCTV surveillance cameras offer an increased level of confidence and security for most members of the general public, but, unfortunately, they’re not equally effective in actually providing relevant information that could lead to the apprehension of offenders, a new report reveals.

    So, 38 percent of people feel safe in areas where they know CCTV is being used because it acts as a deterrent, and a further 41 percent attribute the feeling of safety to the fact that security forces can use the footage if anything were to happen. However, there are quite a large number of people who believe that the quality of the CCTV images is simply too poor to allow for the proper identification of assailants.

    For this reason, it should not come as a surprise that 72 percent of the public would feel more secure if Britain’s streets had high-definition (HD) CCTV in place rather than standard CCTV systems so that clearer pictures could be obtained.

    If you’re interested in installing a latest-generation, high-end CCTV video system, capable of delivering high-definition, top-notch video recording and playback experience, then CCTV Surveillance is just the company to get the job done, since we’ve got 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.

    Comments Off on World’s fastest facial recognition solution for video surveillance applications revealed

    Ultra-fast facial recognition is likely to become an extremely important requirement for the future public CCTV surveillance systems, and now, a company called Herta Security announced the launch of what they claim to be the world’s fastest solution of this type.

    Dubbed BioSurveillance Next, this system is touted as being 40X faster than conventional CPU based facial recognition technology and is apparently capable to process in real time, live or recorded High Definition video at a rate of 150 frames per second using GPU technology.

    Mr Rodriguez Saeta PhD, Herta Security’s CEO, stated that “Herta is committed to delivering innovation and solutions for the new era of Megapixel surveillance cameras. IP video technology advances daily and there are enormous possibilities for face recognition technology.

BioSurveillance Next is the right solution for crime mitigation in the retail sector, as well as in other traditional sectors such as critical infrastructures, banking, gaming, or law enforcement.”

    One of the features that makes BioSurveillance Next quite an attractive technology is the fact that it can be integrated with CCTV and Video Management Systems (VMS), and can even be added to existing CCTV systems. The system is fully scalable and is capable of simultaneously identifying multiple faces in movement making it ideal for crowd scenarios.

  9. Scientists develop “bug eye” cameras that records 180-degree videos

    Comments Off on Scientists develop “bug eye” cameras that records 180-degree videos

    CCTV camera networks might be set for a significant revolution, since researchers at the University of Illinois in the US have developed a new type of camera based on a concept borrowed from insects.

    In fact, the scientists have managed to develop a rounded half bubble camera, similar to a bulging fly eye, that has 180 microlenses mounted on it allowing it to take pictures across nearly 180 degrees, a news report reveals.

    The camera employs stretchable electronics that scans the world like a fly’s compound eye, using integrated microlenses, photodetectors, and electronics on hemispherically curved surfaces.

    As a household name in the field of surveillance systems’ installation, CCTV Surveillance will certainly adopt this cutting edge technology, as soon as it will become commercially available.

    However, before the aforementioned “bug-eye” cameras actually hit the market, one of the best solutions readily available is represented by Digital CCTV Dome Cameras. These cameras can be installed quite easily on any wall or ceiling corner with all the cables hidden within the casing.

    Dome Cameras feature built in lenses, either a fixed focal length lens where the view cannot be changed, or an adjustable vari-focal lens for cameras that need to change focal distance from time to time. CCTV Surveillance know how to create a CCTV security solution for your company and are able to uniquely customise your CCTV installation.

    Additionally, the most recent dome cameras have a selection of high-technology features such as True Day/Night Filters for high-visibility black and white images at night time, built-in Infra Red Illuminators to see in complete darkness, and Wide Dynamic range, which allows the camera to see in extremely bright light as well as ultra low light conditions.If you’d like to find out more information regarding the CCTV Surveillance’s camera offerings, just contact our dedicated product team, they’ll be more than happy to answer all of your questions and queries.  

  10. Suicide prevention CCTV systems to be installed on Glasgow bridges

    Comments Off on Suicide prevention CCTV systems to be installed on Glasgow bridges

    The primary purpose of any CCTV system is to ensure a higher level of public safety by deterring crime, but it seems that public authorities in Glasgow are considering a new approach to this concept, since they’re planning to implement a new smart surveillance system designed to actually prevent suicides across the city.

    According to a news report, Glasgow has won £24million in a competition known as the Future Cities Demonstrator, which is run by the Technology Strategy Board, the Government’s innovation agency.

    City authorities will use these funds in order to set-up a high-end surveillance system, featuring more than 400 super intelligent CCTV cameras replacing the existing outdated network.

    The cameras will be able to pick-up suspicious behaviour and will trigger an alarm, prompting further investigation by the emergency services. That suspicious behaviour will include people climbing on to a bridge parapet, which should lead, at least in theory, to a lower number of suicides.

    When it comes to smart, latest-generation digital cameras and various high-end implementations, CCTV Surveillance is just the company to get the job done, since we’ve got 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.
