Bristol to spend £8m on new surveillance monitoring centre

Despite having more surveillance cameras than Manchester and Liverpool combined, Bristol is set to invest a further £8.2 into its systems in order to bring them up to date and provide a more comprehensive approach to security, a recent news report has been able to find.

Under the new plans, the city’s three existing 24-hour CCTV surveillance centres brought together under one roof.

The decision has been pitched as forming part of an over-arching citywide plan to reduce the number of buildings the council uses.

The move into one new upgraded central hub, at the council’s offices at 100 Temple Street, would also see core systems replaced safeguarding against systems crashing, which would potentially cost the council as much as £4.7million.

A report explains that if there is extra investment over and above the cost of re-siting the three centres, then the income generated by the move could be as much as £8.4million over a decade.

CCTV Surveillance has a very comprehensive level of expertise in the field of security installations, delivering high-quality, bespoke installations, designed to perfectly match the customers’ needs.

One of the main features of our CCTV systems is that they are integrated to work with a standard PC monitor via sophisticated CCTV software that allows individual users to set their own criteria for viewing selected footage from particular CCTV cameras within the network. Password and security features limit the viewing of certain cameras to specific groups of people, enabling you to securely manage who is able to see particular areas of activity.

The 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.

Its site tree facility allows servers and individual cameras to be accessed quickly, and the inclusion of the multi-site viewing facility makes the management of sites more efficient and responses to events even quicker.

Remote management of your CCTV network via LAN, WAN, or the internet is also possible through the CCTV software. Historical footage can be viewed remotely, and DVR setup parameters can be configured.
