  3. 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.

    Our latest-generation digital HD video cameras can be installed in virtually any location and deliver crisp, high-resolution images, even in low-light conditions. Moreover, the range of infra-red cameras we work with also enables great visibility during night-time, an increasingly popular feature within the CCTV segment.

    Our lineup also includes a range of digital video recording solutions and control software, designed to help users easily review CCTV footage, at the best possible quality. Plus, all of our products are fully compliant with the UK Police Requirements.

    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. We are experiencing an unexpected high demand from many countries where security has become the crucial factor for business growth. 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.

    Given our extensive experience in developing and implementing latest-generation CCTV systems, CCTV Surveillance always employs the latest technologies in this market segment. Beside high-end digital surveillance cameras, our lineup also includes digital video recording solutions and control software, designed to help users easily review CCTV footage, at the best possible quality.

  5. 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.  

  6. 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.

    Our latest-generation cameras can be installed in virtually any location and deliver crisp, high-resolution images, even in low-light conditions.

    Owners of the Forest Gate Hotel, located on Godwin Road, Newham, London, have been ordered by the local council to install a CCTV surveillance system in order to tackle the numerous drugs and violence issues generated around it.

    Following this review, the hotel was ordered to introduce new measures such as CCTV cameras, prominent anti-drug use signs, a proof of age scheme, door supervisors, and staff training.
