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 […]

DISC Network allows local shopwatches, pubwatches and other business crime reduction partnerships to link into data-sharing groups to identify and monitor travelling offenders such as professional shoplifters and fraudsters.

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 […]

Security Cameras Roll Out In North Augusta SC
Staff Photo by Scott Rodgers The new security cameras are up at the municipal center. North Augusta will soon have a new tool in its fight on crime. The City has already installed a number of high-tech surveillance cameras at the municipal center. Following the numerous break-ins that occurred throughout the summer, action was taken to put in place some preventive measures. Even John Thomas, the chief at North Augusta Public Safety, had his unmarked Tahoe broken into. “What really spurred the decision was the number of break-ins we experienced in the Greeneway parking lots, where folks would park out in the remote areas and go walk,” Rick Meyer, director of North Augusta Parks, Recreation and Leisure Services, said. “Also in front of the activity center and Riverview Park. It comes in cycles – we’ll go six months and not have any; then we’ll have a rash of them. These folks are pretty good; they can break into your car, we’ve timed it on video, in 10 seconds or less.” Meyer noted that although there are some existing cameras in place, they do not have the coverage and capability of the new ones. He also said there are currently zero on the Greeneway, so this will be brand-new along that area. “We have a few when you walk in the door here, but they’re ancient and need to be replaced,” he said. “All of the locations themselves – and this also includes the soon-to-be-built Park and Ride out on […]
