Comments Off on Upgraded CCTV System in Colchester delivers impressive results


A major upgrade process that saw a boost of the quality of CCTV footage and coverage in Colchester town centre is being heralded by the borough council, as it has led to the arrest of 104 people in just five months, a news report in the local media has been able to suggest.

A Colchester Borough Council spokesman said: “We moved our CCTV monitoring centre to a new location in the town centre in late 2014, which also included a major upgrade to ICT and monitoring equipment as well as improvements to our processes and procedures.

“In the past year we have delivered further improvements to our CCTV network by investing £27,000 on high-definition cameras at 13 locations in the town centre.

“These new cameras have approximately four times better image quality and much-improved night vision capabilities.”

Mike Lilley, borough councillor for safer communities, added: “I am enormously impressed by the technical improvements that have been made to the CCTV and monitoring service in recent years.

“Our monitoring team has superb in-depth knowledge of the streets and areas in and around the town centre, and between April and August 2016 was able to provide CCTV evidence to the police which assisted in 104 arrests.”
