Mansfield doormen to start wearing CCTV body cameras

21st March 2014 11:33 am Comments Off

Staff working for a specialized doorstaff firm in Mansfield will soon be wearing CCTV body cameras as part of a project to reduce drink-related crime in the area, a news report in the local media can reveal.

The cameras will be visible to customers at several nights spots and the company’s managers hope that the move would significantly deter abuse coming both from patrons and door staff, who’re likely to think twice before acting, knowing that their actions are being recorded on camera.

CCTV Surveillance supplies a full range of CCTV cameras designed to meet any customer’s specific needs and requirements, including here a variety of Digital CCTV Body Cameras.

Digital CCTV Body Cameras are usually higher quality than bullet cameras and require a lens to be attached to them. This may be a long lens where the subject is at a distance or a wide angle lens if the subject is closer, e.g. in a corridor or room.

Furthermore, vari-focal lenses can also be employed which allow you to manually adjust the zoom level of your body camera. This awards users the ability to shape a CCTV security system exactly to their requirements.

Future still uncertain for long-awaited CCTV system in Kidderminster

18th March 2014 11:02 am Comments Off

The future of a long-awaited CCTV system set to be installed in a Kidderminster street that has been plagued by crime and anti-social behaviour is still uncertain, as the contractors involved with the project delayed the project’s outcome, a brand-new media report on this topic has recently revealed.

Shop owners in the area have been asking for the surveillance system to be put up in this area for over 10 years, and they now fear that the setback could mean the cameras would not be installed until next year.

They set up a petition to have CCTV installed after being intimidated by drunken yobs hanging around the street at night and following a number of street robberies, which were probed by police.

Wyre Forest councillor Fran Oborski, who has been organising the CCTV project, tried to play down the traders’ fears and explained that the scheme would be going ahead, adding: “The delay is because of agency contractors.

“All the project management and contractors are all in place so the scheme is about to proceed. It will be a couple of months before it is installed. The project should be starting in the next six weeks or so. I will be contacting the traders who are affected.”

Two CCTV cameras and a recording unit set to be installed in Ballymoney

14th March 2014 12:42 pm Comments Off

A surveillance system featuring two CCTV cameras and a video recording unit could soon be installed in Ballymoney, should the proposal forwarded by the PCSP Policing Committee receive the green light.

According to a news report published in the local media, installing a new CCTV system in the town would have number of positive effects, including assisting in reducing fear of crime, particularly during the hours of darkness and thereby encouraging development of a night time economy, preventing and reducing crime and antisocial behaviour and assisting in the investigation and identification of those involved in crime and antisocial behaviour, e.g. shoplifters, assaults, burglaries and criminal damage to commercial premises, antisocial motoring.

Another possible benefit would be the identification of traffic congestion or disorder allowing earlier deployment of police officers to the scene.

The Ballymoney PCSP has put out a tender for a wireless system consisting of two CCTV cameras and a recording unit, which would be funded in partnership with the PSNI from within the 2013-2014 financial year.

Hartlepool Borough Council recommends the use of CCTV in taxis

11th March 2014 11:13 am Comments Off

Hartlepool Borough Council has decided to recommend the use of CCTV systems in taxis following a serious incident in the area, a news report in the local media has recently revealed.

The local authority’s decision comes after a cab driver in his 40’s was injured by a knife-wielding passenger in Musgrave Walk, around 2am on Saturday. The cabbie, who was subsequently taken into the local hospital, was released later that day and is still off work recovering.

The team managing the company the driver was working for argued that if CCTV systems were fitted in cabs then “people might think twice” about attacking drivers.

Ian Harrison, Hartlepool Council’s principal trading standards and licensing Officer, said: “The council’s position is clear. CCTV cameras are permitted so long as potential customers are informed before their journey starts that they are being filmed (usually by the display of prominent signage) and that subsequent video footage is only used for crime prevention purposes.

“I am aware of some drivers who have recently installed cameras, at a low cost, and the licensing team would be happy to speak to any other drivers who are interested.”

Nursery has CCTV system installed, lets parents monitor toddlers from their smartphones

7th March 2014 12:40 pm Comments Off

A nursery from Holland-on-Sea in Essex has decided to have a CCTV system installed in order to allow parents to keep an eye out on their toddlers remotely, a news report in the local media has recently revealed.

The nursery decided to take this approach in order to give parents additional “peace of mind”, and the owners say that response from parents has been “fantastic”.

CCTV system set to be installed in Bransholme play park in order to tackle vandalism

25th February 2014 12:11 pm Comments Off

A brand-new CCTV surveillance system worth around 12,000 pounds is set to be installed near a very popular play park in Bransholme, Kingston upon Hull, in order to tackle cases of vandalism in the area, a brand-new media report on the matter has revealed.

Pupils from St Mary Queen of Martyrs Primary School, in Nidderdale, opened the play area at the beginning of November after working with designers and the North Carr Area team to draw up the plans.

However, ever since then, a spate of vandalism in the park and the surrounding area has convinced local councillors to allocate funds towards creating a new protection scheme for the area.

Bransholme West councillor Phil Webster said: “The woodland has proved to be an unbelievable success with young children in this area of Bransholme since it was opened last year.

“But there have been a few incidents recently in and around the park and we just want to offer parents and children absolute protection.

“Psychologically, it is better when people know there are cameras monitoring an area.

“This is money well worth spending and we are happy to allocate it to this project.”

Council defends CCTV cameras issuing fines automatically

21st February 2014 11:29 am Comments Off

A London local council has defended its decision to install unattended CCTV cameras after they were criticized by motoring groups, a news report in the local media has revealed.

Redbridge Council, who’s currently running a trial of an innovative CCTV system designed to run unattended and also automatically issue fines when required, claimed that the system was not selected to generate revenue, but rather in order to improve safety. A spokesman said: “These are being tested to help improve safety in areas where drivers are ignoring road traffic restrictions placing other road users and pedestrians at risk.”

This comes after the system was under heavy fire by motoring groups such as the AA and RAC, who argued that the it was only meant to be used to make money rather than deter drivers from breaking the rules.

The system employs advanced ANPR technology, capable of instantly reading the number plates of any vehicle that breaks the rules.

As part of a scheme to stop illegal parking around Durham City’s centre, the Durham County Council decided to install an Automatic Number Plate Recognition camera on a trial basis in the area, a news report in the local media has revealed.

The camera is set to work between 8pm and 4am every night and anyone caught parking illegally could be hit with a fine, local authorities said.

Councillor Neil Foster, the council’s cabinet member for economic regeneration, said: “We need to educate motorists that they have a responsibility to drive safely and responsibly, especially in busy areas such as Claypath.

“We are hopeful that having a camera in place will serve as a reminder to people to think of others when driving in our city.”
