Public CCTV system in Inverness set for expansion

The public CCTV surveillance system in Inverness is set to be expanded as of next month, with an extra camera being added in the Castle Wynd area, a news report in the local media has recently revealed.

After this latest camera is added to the network, the number of devices covering the city will increase to 41. Police Scotland and Highland Council jointly run the system and use it to monitor for late night disorder and litter louts.

Increasingly, camera footage has been used to detect road traffic offences and for finding missing people.

In a report to Highland councillors, the system was used in 406 missing person cases in 2012/13 – 3% more than than three years ago. Police also used the cameras in dealing with road safety incidents on 356 occasions, an increase of 4%.

CCTV Surveillance has an extensive level of experience in providing customers with complete and comprehensive CCTV solutions, that adhere to the highest security standards. In fact, all of our surveillance products are fully compliant with the UK Police Requirements.

One of the main features of our CCTV systems is that they are integrated to work with a standard PC monitor via sophisticated CCTV software that allows individual users to set their own criteria for viewing selected footage from particular CCTV cameras within the network. Password and security features limit the viewing of certain cameras to specific groups of people, enabling you to securely manage who is able to see particular areas of activity.

The CCTV software enables “live” footage to be viewed remotely from any or all connected CCTV cameras as events happen and without degradation of video quality, allowing you to monitor your premises when offsite.
