    Comments Off on CCTV system in Ulverston could be shut down in April

    Public CCTV surveillance systems installed and maintained by public authorities across the UK are being adversely affected by cuts in the available budgets, the latest to be affected being the camera network in Ulverston.

    According to a news report in the local media, the town’s councillors have decided not to support the town’s already outdated CCTV network any longer, describing it as “not fit for purpose” and complaining about the high operation and maintenance costs (£30,000 a year).

    Members of the South Lakeland District Council also revealed that, while a replacement system is being considered, the number of cameras in the town would be slashed from nine to just two, should the plans go ahead, because that’s all what the currently available funds will cover.

  2. More CCTV cameras added in order to catch Newcastle’s rogue drivers

    Multiple latest-generation CCTV cameras worth an estimated £80,000 are set to be installed at various locations across Newcastle in a bid to catch and issue a fine to anyone straying into the wrong carriageway, a news report in the local media has revealed.

    The cameras will be installed at the approach to the Tyne Bridge, at the Central Motorway on the Cowgate approach, the Great North Road between Clayton Road and Forsyth Road and one other location yet to be finalized.

    The scheme, set to be implemented across the city later this year, is part of a wide-scale project to introduce standardized bus lanes, which will be enforced by the local council, rather than the police.

    As part of this project, heavy goods vehicles will be banned from every existing no car lane in the city, except a few roads reserved for shop access around Barras Bridge and Percy Street, a plan that local authorities believe would tackle congestion and also ensure that all the funds recouped from fines (£60 for each occurrence) would be spent locally.

  3. NHS Lothian to equip hospital car park staff with body cameras for protection

    Comments Off on NHS Lothian to equip hospital car park staff with body cameras for protection

    Car park staff at St John’s Hospital in Livingston will be issued with personal CCTV body cameras in order to ensure their protection and guard them against any unwanted incidents, a brand new report in the national media has revealed.

    Following a string of incidents that occurred over the past few months, health bosses decided that the staff should be granted a superior level of security, and they believe that the CCTV will act as a deterrent to drivers who become abusive, and be a “silent witness” against those who break the law.

    George Curley, director of operations facilities at NHS Lothian, said: “We have a zero-tolerance approach to violence and aggression in the workplace and a duty to protect our workforce.

    “Some of these drivers think that because no-one else is around to witness their unacceptable behaviour that they will get away with it. That will no longer be the case.”

    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.

  4. CCTV system in Penzance, Cornwall, to be funded by rise in council tax

    Comments Off on CCTV system in Penzance, Cornwall, to be funded by rise in council tax

    The Cornish town of Penzance is set to overhaul its existing CCTV system, but funding for the upgrade will be obtained by charging residents an extra 5 per cent a year in council tax in 2014-15, a news report in the local media has revealed.

    Upgrading the town’s existing CCTV system is likely to cost around £20,000, on top of £10,000 budgeted annually for CCTV monitoring.

    Replacing the CCTV was opposed by several councillors, since they claimed that originally the cost was to have been shared by bodies including the police and the business community.

    Nevertheless, local authorities claimed that this was a “a worst-case scenario”, and added that there might be opportunities in the future for the business community to extend the CCTV system as part of the Business Improvement District process.

  5. Seaside town installs extensive CCTV system to combat shop burglaries

    Comments Off on Seaside town installs extensive CCTV system to combat shop burglaries

    Local authorities in the seaside town of Southwold have decided to install a CCTV system designed to monitor high-street shops following a bout of burglaries in the area, a media news report on the matter has revealed.

    After ten shops were raided in the past 10 months, the authorities decided to finally take action and have a camera installed on Mights Road near the Buss Creek bridge. The camera will be the town’s first in a public area, as opposed to the ones installed by shops or by banks at cash machines.

    PC Chris Sadler said: “It’s not escaped some criminals’ notice that Southwold’s got some lovely shops and is not protected by CCTV.”

  6. CCTV car catches 65 drivers flouting parking rules around Derby schools

    Comments Off on CCTV car catches 65 drivers flouting parking rules around Derby schools

    A council vehicle with a CCTV camera fitted at the top has managed to capture 65 people parking in the “keep clear” areas of schools in Derby, each of the motorists now facing fines of up to £70 each, a news report in the local media has recently revealed.

    The spy CCTV car was used to monitor vehicle activity outside 22 schools in Derby, in the morning and afternoon. Ever since the monitoring operation started, 65 people were captured parking in the “keep clear” areas of schools in the city and now face fines of up to £70 each.

    As part of this crackdown, the council’s enforcement officers can issue penalty charge notices – carrying a fine of £70, reduced to £35 if paid quickly – if people park on school yellow zig-zag lines, on pavements and verges where there are yellow lines, or adjacent to a dropped kerb when a complaint is received.

    The 65 drivers comprised 23 in Normanton, 15 in Derwent, 10 in Darley Abbey, seven in Chaddesden, three each in Mickleover and Mackworth, two in Alvaston and one each in Chellaston and Allestree.

  7. Up to 26 million images are captured by CCTV on Britain’s roads daily

    Comments Off on Up to 26 million images are captured by CCTV on Britain’s roads daily

    A network comprising close to 8,000 active CCTV cameras watches over Britain’s road network, capturing close to 26 million images every day and supplying them to the police and intelligence agencies, a news report in the mainstream media can now reveal.

    Also, given the size of this network, it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that a national database that stores pictures taken by the automated numberplate recognition (ANPR) cameras currently has 17 billion images in its archive – thought to be the biggest of its kind anywhere in the world.

    Furthermore, it’s quite likely that this number would only increase over the next five years with advances in technology and the roll-out of more fixed and portable cameras. In fact, police forces believe it should be possible to read and store between 50 million and 75 million “reads” a day by 2018.

  9. Kingston box junctions monitored by CCTV add 100,000 in fines in December

    Comments Off on Kingston box junctions monitored by CCTV add 100,000 in fines in December

    Kingston Council has managed to seriously bolster its coffers by installing CCTV monitoring systems in two busy box junctions and issuing fines to motorists, a news report in the local media suggests.

    The two junctions netted Kingston Council a total of £254,037.50 in October and November after it started enforcing them with CCTV, while also adding another £100,000 in fines in December.

    Each driver who fails to stop at the junction receives an £135 fine, halved if paid within two weeks. Nevertheless, in spite of the fact that these box junctions are designed to prevent gridlock in the town centre, quite a few motorists argue that they are being caught out unfairly or blocked in by other drivers.

  10. Newly installed CCTV cameras help curb anti-social behaviour in Doncaster town centre

    Comments Off on Newly installed CCTV cameras help curb anti-social behaviour in Doncaster town centre

    Following a spat of anti-social behaviour around the St James flats in the Balby Bridge area of Doncaster, local authorities decided to have CCTV systems installed in the area and they’re already seeing a sizeable reduction in crime levels.

    According to a news report in the local media on this topic, previous problems included large groups congregating in stairwells, people urinating and defecating in communal places, open drug usage and extensive littering and fly tipping.

    The cameras have now been installed in all of the stairwells and communal areas at the flats, funded by St Leger Homes, the arms length management company who look after Council housing in Doncaster.

    “The problems at the estate were occurring on a nightly basis before these cameras were fitted,” said Bill Hotchkiss, Head of Community Safety for Doncaster Council.

    “We are now in the positive position where we have seen a dramatic reduction in incidents and more importantly there has been no dispersal to other parts of the estate.”

    Mayor of Doncaster Ros Jones said: “It is essential that we safeguard the wellbeing of the residents of these flats and ensure that everyone has the peaceful lives they are entitled to. We have taken the step to increase the amount of CCTV at the site, and this has had an immediate and positive effect on behaviours at the estate, saving valuable resources in dealing with these issues. We will continue our zero-tolerance approach to anti-social behaviour by taking measures such as these.”
