New CCTV control room will control 300 surveillance cameras in Plymouth

Plymouth’s 300 security cameras will now be monitored from a brand new control room located in a formerly disused room beneath the Council House, a recent news report in the local media has been able to reveal.

The new and modern control room will enable users to call up footage from almost 300 cameras located across the city – from the city centre pedestrian areas, district shopping centres, car parks to paths to parks.

As well as monitoring public safety and general surveillance, the system is also linked into retailers who are members of Plymouth Against Retail Crime. The team also monitors the radio channels used by the parking operations team, police radio as well as Nite Net – a radio used by local pubs and clubs.

The new centre will also mean the Council House will have 24-hour security as there will be permanent presence of staff in the building. The intention is for the centre to be accessible to the police, to help better team up the other organisations who help keep the city safe.

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.
