    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.

    According to a news report, the hotel was the subject of a premises licence review presented to a Newham Council sub-committee on April 16. During this review, it’s been clearly mentioned that the hotel is linked to drugs supply and use leading to a high number of noise complaints in the area.

    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.

    Comments Off on CCTV proves crucial in finding Boston Marathon bombing suspects

    The Boston Marathon bombings took the whole world by surprise, and prompted the United States authorities to start a huge investigation and security operation in order to find the persons responsible for the three deaths and numerous injuries that resulted following this terror attack.

Moreover, they’ve also used all the CCTV surveillance records in the area, both public and private.

    The fact that the suspects were identified only a couple of days after the attack proves just how effective a high-end CCTV video solution can prove to be in certain circumstances, and that’s exactly where CCTV Surveillance can really prove its worth.

    Officers from the North West neighbourhood police team (NPT) in Horbury and South Ossett, Wakefield, West Yorkshire, have asked people with home security cameras to help them stop thieves who are breaking into unlocked cars, a news report reveals.

    The thefts occurred on a few streets in the area. Unfortunately, since Horbury is the only town in the Wakefield without CCTV cameras, the police was forced to ask for help from residents on tracking the thieves.

    Insp Jo Mercer, of the North West NPT, said: “Residents can assist us by ensuring their vehicles are locked and secure and that valuable items are removed from display. This type of crime in this area is unusual but it is clear there are opportunist thieves out and about. We have secured CCTV in the relevant areas but if anyone has any footage we are unaware of or any information at all regarding the thefts please contact us.”

  9. CCTV system hacked to help poker player win $32 million

    Comments Off on CCTV system hacked to help poker player win $32 million

    An Australian casino’s own security systems were turned against it, allowing a team of fraudsters to win an impressive $32m in a high-stakes poker game, an article in the local press reveals.

    The Crown casino in Melbourne was involved in a fraud worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster script, perpetrated by a group of high-tech scammers.

    The group used an accomplice that was a regular of the house, having previously spent a lot of money in the Casino. They had him join a high-stakes poker game, and then provided him with vital information regarding the other player’s hands, gained after hacking into the casino’s CCTV system.

    The fraud was eventually discovered and the high-rolling player evicted and banned from the casino’s premises for life.

    It’s quite clear that the casino’s own internal security system had some faults that were cleverly exploited by the team of fraudsters, although there’s still an investigation being carried out regarding some specific details of the breach.

    This proves only too well just how important is for any such venue to have a comprehensive access control and surveillance system installed, and this is exactly the type of service CCTV Surveillance can offer your business.

    Together with our parent company, Tensor,  we can provide a completely integrated, highly secure surveillance and access control system.
