UK CCTV Commissioner Hosts Conference On Regulation
By Tom Reeve on October 31, 2013 Andrew Rennison, the Surveillance Camera Commissioner, addresses the audience at his first conference on the code of practice Around 120 delegates attended the Surveillance Camera Commissioner’s conference in London last week to hear about and discuss the latest developments around the commissioner’s new code of practice. The event was held at the Royal Society in central London and was opened by the commissioner Andrew Rennison who, after introducing the day’s speakers, called for delegates to help promote the Surveillance Camera Code of Practice to the CCTV industry. Borrowing a word from Lord Taylor of Holbeach, the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Criminal Information at the Home Office, Rennison asked people to go forth and “evangelise” the code. He said it was an approach that had worked during his six years as the Forensic Science Regulator, and it was on the back of this success that the Home Office had asked him to become the interim CCTV regulator (later to become the surveillance camera commissioner). Evangelising the code is necessary because, of course, the code is not mandatory and, as it only applies to systems owned by local authorities and the police, covers less than five per cent of CCTV systems in England and Wales. Andrew Rennison, Surveillance Camera Commissioner And while relevant authorities have been told they must have regard to the 12 guiding principles of the code, there are no penalties for failing to observe it. Compliance is entirely voluntary […]

AMG Systems Integrated Meyertech ONVIF VMS Solution
Source: AMG Systems | Date: 10/29/2013 Related tags: AMG systems AMG Systems , the British manufacturer of sophisticated Megapixel cameras and CCTV transmission technology, and Meyertech, market leading British supplier of Enterprise Video Management solutions, have announced a technology partnership that will see the AMG-Panogenics 5 megapixel 360 degree PanoCam360 camera range integrated into Meyertech’s FUSION-Core-SolarVMS. David Wood, at Meyertech, says, “Panoramic cameras provide massive advantages over traditional security cameras and are rapidly becoming the new de facto standard in surveillance, demanded by end-users and installers/integrators alike. Since a single panoramic camera can cover an area that would previously have demanded the deployment of several devices, installation is simpler and less costly. A single panoramic camera also makes things much simpler for control room staff and data recording requirements. We chose to use the AMG Systems’ PanoCam360 range due to its very high build quality and specifications, especially its industry-leading 5 megapixel resolution. AMG provided us with all the necessary support every step of the way during the integration and testing process of the cameras and, thanks to their support team, the integration of the PanoCam360 went very smoothly.” Sara Bullock, International Sales & Marketing Director of AMG Group commented, “I welcome this strategic partnership with Meyertech, which pairs the PanoCam360 with Meyertech’s FUSION-Core-Solar video management software. This is a powerful and versatile platform which offers many innovative features. For example, it boasts a fully customisable Graphical User Interface, auto log-off facilities, and a unique system model facility that […]

Manila Now Requires CCTVs In All Business Establishments
MANILA, Philippines — The San Juan City government is now requiring business establishments primarily handling financial transactions to equip themselves with security cameras and other surveillance systems before the end of the year. City ordinance 7, series of 2013, mandates business establishments, specifically banks, pawnshops, money changers, convenience stores, gasoline stations, money transfer centers, bills payment centers and supermarkets, to operate video surveillance and monitoring systems not just inside their stores, but also in the vicinity of their operation. The ordinance, enacted by the San Juan City Council and approved by Mayor Guia Gomez earlier this year, notes that “incidents of robberies and burglaries have recently been hogging the news and have even resulted to the loss of innocent lives.” The ordinance also said that these crimes could somehow be prevented by surveillance and monitoring systems installed in businesses, which would make it easy for the police to monitor events and investigate crimes. The ordinance compels these business establishments to install not only plain security or closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras, but also equipment which would allow the storage of camera footage, transmission of footage to remote video monitoring stations, and the triggering of alarms for violations of security rules. “The daily video recordings must be stored and preserved for a minimum period of at least 30 days for review purposes and reference unless its preservation is required by a court order, by the police, or the city mayor,” the ordinance read. Authorized local authorities and the police should also […]
