New CCTV surveillance camera system to be deployed at Derbyshire park

A new CCTV surveillance camera system is set to be deployed at a Derbyshire car park in order to prevent drug dealing on site, a recent news report in the local media has been able to suggest.

The single camera will be put in place on a tall stalk in Spider Park, on the Hurst Farm estate in Matlock, in an effort to stop further crimes taking place. The site sits next to Castle View Primary School and Nursery and the Matlock Sure Start Children’s Centre.

Marie Schmidt, the council’s estate regeneration manager, wrote: “Local drug dealers are known to use the park to deal drugs.

“Teenagers and adults meet at the park at night and there are also reports of older children bullying younger children.

“This anti-social behaviour and criminal use is causing local residents to be fearful of using the park and it is stopping parents from allowing the children from using the park to play.

“We believe the CCTV camera will act as a deterrent to the anti-social behaviour and would provide evidence if an incident took place.

“There is strong support for this proposal from the local community group on the estate called Friends of Hurst Farm.

“The aim is to create a community park that is a safe space that can be enjoyed safely by all, especially the children.”

CCTV SURVEILLANCE – TOP UK SUPPLIER AND INSTALLATION CONTRACTOR OF DIGITAL CCTV SYSTEMS

One of the key elements enabling Stoke-on-Trent City Council to reduce security costs was remote monitoring.

At CCTV Surveillance, we can offer you this service. We have seen it save countless customers money just like the council due to less staff being needed on patrol and lower insurance costs.

The CCTV Surveillance monitoring centre is staffed 24/7 all year round by highly trained operators, all of whom share a passion for security. They can take immediate action on the video footage that they are alerted to, either by using the intercom link to warn away offenders or calling the police and specified keyholders.

Our top-range systems use the latest digital technology to provide real time viewing and control of cameras via a broadband connection. For further security and information gathering we can provide you with facial recognition software (including a revolutionary rapid deployment kit) and automatic number-plate recognition.

We provide several other security services as well as remote monitoring, such as our System Takeover, where we can take on the time and responsibility of running and maintaining your existing security system for you. All of our CCTV systems can also integrate with our access control systems. For example, this could allow the automatic opening or barring of doors if a certain person is picked up on the cameras.

If you are worried about the security of your premises, we can perform an in-depth assessment with a full spectrum penetration test which replicates real-life threats – everything from social engineering to lock picking and getting past alarms. We can also provide a smaller physical penetration-only test.
