    Comments Off on Met Police fails to use CCTV surveillance footage at its full potential, former detective argues

    The Met Police is not using the numerous CCTV surveillance systems installed across London at their full potential, a former detective chief inspector has revealed.

    Former detective Mick Neville said that CCTV images were found in less than two per cent of cases in London during eight months last year, as images were not routinely collected by police.

    Of 515,193 crimes recorded by the Met between April and November, CCTV images were found in 9,745 cases. A total of 84,035 offences were solved, including 1,629 with the help of CCTV. There were also 15,330 robberies in the same period. The Met solved 1,515 of these, but only 64 using CCTV.

    Mr Neville said: “The Met has the best system in the world for identifying suspects who are caught on camera in connection with crimes but it is not getting the images.

    “All these cameras are on and capturing images of suspects, but they are not being used to anything like their full potential.”

    Comments Off on CCTV camera system do be installed at Seaton car park in a bid to tackle illegal racing

    A new CCTV camera system will be installed at a Seaton car park as part of the local authority’s efforts to tackle the problem of boy racers in the area, a media news report has been able to suggest.

    East Devon District Council (EDDC) has made the decision to install the new CCTV camera system in the Underfleet car park after repeated complaints from members of the public.

    EDDC officer Andrew Ennis said that complaints about vehicle-related anti-social behaviour in the car park came to a head in 2015, which resulted in meetings and a decision to install car park barriers.

    However, anti-social behavior is not confined to evenings as there have been reported cases on Saturday afternoons, potentially putting families and other car park users at risk.

    It is hoped that the installation of CCTV will reduce the number of complaints even further.

    Seaton mayor Marcus Hartnell supports the installation of CCTV, and said: “Stamping out anti-social behaviour at the Underfleet car park has to be a priority, and this is a positive step towards that aim.”

  3. New video analytics algorithms detect petty crime in CCTV footage

    Comments Off on New video analytics algorithms detect petty crime in CCTV footage

    A consortium of European companies and organisations has developed a new video analytics algorithm that detects suspicious behaviour in CCTV footage as it happens and can then alert CCTV operators to intervene, saving the footage in case it is needed for evidence, a news report has been able to suggest.

    Researchers involved in the P-REACT project say the surveillance technology could help catch criminals in the act and relieve police of “digital evidence overload” by highlighting video clips most likely to be relevant to investigations.

    The software tracks people’s movements and features embedded algorithms that have been trained on sample scenes of people fighting, chasing someone or snatching a bag.
    The technology was presented at the International Conference on Imaging for Crime Detection and Prevention in November, with more extensive field trials planned for the future.

    Comments Off on Up to 13,000 CCTV Surveillance Video Cameras to Be Deployed in Lagos as Part of Security Drive

    An estimate 13,000 new CCTV surveillance video monitoring cameras are set to be deployed in major locations across Lagos as part of an initiative to bolster the city’s security, a local news source has been able to suggest.

    The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) believes the CCTV camera installations would encourage an effective and efficient response system. The move is in line with the state government efforts to improve emergency and disaster management.

    The General Manager of LASEMA, Adesina Tiamiyu, said that the state government also plans to step up a Monitoring and Surveillance Unit.

    “Additional dispatch centres with CCTV cameras would be established across the state to complement the emergency call numbers.

    “With the CCTV, analysts could adequately monitor activities from the Command and Control Centres across the State.

    “This is aimed at activating emergency response where and when necessary. These combined efforts can only make Lagos safer,” Tiamiyu said.

  6. Facial Recognition and Video Analytics – The Future of CCTV Surveillance in tomorrow’s smart cities

    Comments Off on Facial Recognition and Video Analytics – The Future of CCTV Surveillance in tomorrow’s smart cities

    Facial recognition CCTV and AI-driven video analytics are likely to become the centrepieces of CCTV surveillance systems in tomorrow’s smart cities, industry experts have argued.

    As globalisation increases the exposure of major cities to transnational threats is following a similar trend, especially since the growing population is also putting a strain on law enforcement resources. These inherent challenges in protecting cities – population and economic centres that make attractive soft targets – necessitate the early warning and identification of threats. CCTV systems featuring facial recognition and video analytics technology support this function as the third eye of cities by complementing the vigilance of police officers and the community.

    Furthermore, the advances in AI development improve the overall accuracy of video analytics – facial, behavioural and object recognition – therefore increasing the potential of CCTV systems o fully/semi-automate the processing and analysis of voluminous data collected from a vast network of cameras and in the long term decision-making.

    CCTV Surveillance – experts in deploying advanced facial recognition and video analytics solutions

    The Facial Recognition CCTV solution supplied by CCTV Surveillance dynamically compares images of individuals from incoming video streams against those stored in a predefined access control list and immediately sends alerts when a positive match occurs.

    The technology yields a very good level of performance despite partial occlusions of the face, the use of glasses, scarves or caps, changes of facial expression, and moderate rotations of the face. Moreover, it does not allow users to be impersonated using photographs.

    This biometric technology is the perfect solution to control the access to restricted security areas, especially since we’re talking about a completely automated system that requires very little interaction with the operator.

    Our Facial Recognition CCTV system can be easily integrated with existing ID management products and enables administrators to easily create Whitelists/Blacklists for specific areas, while subjects can be very easily enrolled from one or more photographs.

  8. BSIA advises firms and home owners to install CCTV surveillance and alarm equipment in order to mitigate potential threats over Christmas

    Comments Off on BSIA advises firms and home owners to install CCTV surveillance and alarm equipment in order to mitigate potential threats over Christmas

    The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) is advising both businesses and home owners on the benefits of installing CCTV surveillance equipment and alarm systems in order to mitigate the potential threats that might appear throughout the Christmas festive season.

    In the past, it has been suggested that seasonality can affect crime rates, with the winter months giving opportunistic thieves extended hours of darkness in which to commit their crimes. Simple preparations, therefore, can help defend against these crimes and ensure that property is kept safe not just during the winter months, but year round as well.

    Remotely monitored CCTV via a smartphone can provide essential peace of mind and allows property owners to keep an eye on their properties whilst away. However, should any crimes occur, it is still essential to seek help from the Police to assist with the situation, as going yourself or asking a neighbour or friend for support, could result in potentially treacherous consequences.

    For anyone that employs detector activated remotely monitored CCTV systems, more commonly incorporated into a business premises, it is extremely important to be aware of the essential British standard BS 8418. An approved BS 8418 system not only enables the constant and efficient security monitoring of a premises, but will also provide a vital level one response from the police or another responding authority. This will deliver a benchmark level of security that can reduce insurance liability as well as decreasing the risk of theft and vandalism.

  9. Local authorities are switching of CCTV surveillance systems due to lack of funding, report suggests

    Comments Off on Local authorities are switching of CCTV surveillance systems due to lack of funding, report suggests

    An increasingly higher number of local authorities across the UK are forced to switch off their CCTV surveillance systems in order to achieve budget savings, Tony Porter, the surveillance camera commissioner, wrote in his annual report for 2015-16.

    The monitoring of cameras has been reduced in many areas, with systems switched off completely in others, potentially leaving the public at greater risk, the report suggests.

    The report noted research which found a 46.4% decrease in council spending on the installation, maintenance and monitoring of CCTV since 2012, with spending on paid CCTV operators dropping by 47%. It also pointed out a common theme of disputes between local councils and police over who should pay for the service.

    The surveillance camera commissioner strongly encouraged collaboration between local authorities to maximise the benefit of CCTV, such as splitting funding with the police and updating systems with digital HD equipment.

  10. CCTV surveillance systems to be deployed cross all Kirklees taxi according to new council proposal

    Comments Off on CCTV surveillance systems to be deployed cross all Kirklees taxi according to new council proposal

    CCTV surveillance systems could be deployed across all Kirkless taxis according to a new proposal by the local council, a news report has been able to suggest.

    Kirklees Council is considering a plan to make video and sound monitoring equipment mandatory in all Hackney Carriage and private hire vehicles licensed in the borough.

    The council says the move would help to protect drivers from assaults and racist abuse.

    In 2010 Kirklees offered grants to install CCTV in 120 taxis after a spate of attacks on drivers, but the scheme was voluntary. If approved, the new scheme would be compulsory for all taxis, but it will only allow police or council officials to get access to the recordings.

    Members of the public would be able to request a copy under the data protection act if an incident was reported.

    A spokesperson said: “The aim of the plan is to ensure the safety of passengers and drivers by deterring and preventing crime, reducing the fear of crime, helping the investigation of crime and assisting insurance companies investigating claims.

    “The proposal is that the taxis will be covered by audio and visual CCTV.

    “If the plan goes ahead it is intended that the audio element would only be in operation when the taxi was in use and that both the driver and the passenger would have the ability to turn it on, so that they could record any situation that they felt warranted it.”
