Redeployable CCTV provides Police and Local Authorities with a wealth of benefits. We explore the best suited scenarios for them to help manage and protect your community.
Fighting crime takes collective work, and the Police and Local Authorities are on the frontline dealing with this on a regular basis.
However, with such differing crimes to cover, this can place stress on services, leading many to seek support from elsewhere to help tackle these issues.
Why Police and Local Authorities Require Redeployable CCTV?
Both the Police and Local Authorities have a wealth of responsibilities that expand across various areas of crime.
This high-volume coverage can be overwhelming and managing all areas at the same standard can be difficult, hence the benefit of additional security support from suppliers such as ourselves.
Over recent years, Police and Local Authorities across the UK are beginning to or are utilising CCTV systems to help monitor and prevent crime at certain hotspots or vulnerable locations.
By doing this, their aim is to reduce crime, capture criminals and support employees in relieving the responsibility on common crimes that are costly towards the Public Sector and local communities.
On a regular basis, Local Authorities and Police departments are plagued with financial loss created through crimes such as fly-tipping and Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB).
However, employees of these organisations cannot monitor hotspots at all times and this provides criminals with the opportunity to take advantage of this.
Redeployable CCTV Cameras offer a set of highly trained eyes to watch over those locations when employees and officers are unable to, providing 24/7 coverage that can be relocated between different hotspots depending on your security requirements.
Comparing Redeployable CCTV to fixed systems, these units provide a flexible, cost-effective solution, both of which are important factors for the Police and Local Authorities.
However, the benefits of such systems stretch beyond this.
What Are The Benefits of Redeployable CCTV For Police and Local Authorities?
Redeployable CCTV Cameras are invaluable crime prevention and investigation tools for Police and Local Authorities.
The portable and rapid deployment nature of Redeployable CCTV gives Police and Public Sector CCTV Managers the ability to respond to emerging surveillance requirements and quickly target crime hotspots.
Key features of market-leading Redeployable CCTV Cameras and their benefits include:
- Relocatable Design - Generally, Redeployable CCTV Cameras can be relocated between hotspots to cater to your various security needs, with minimal disruption. You can attach them to lampposts or onto buildings.
- Integrated 4G/5G Video Transmission - This means live and recorded footage can be accessed remotely without the need for fixed infrastructure, allowing you to review footage wherever you are on any device.
- Local Video Recording - This helps reduce the risk of latency that can occur with the cloud, helping reduce the risk of any security vulnerabilities.
- Weather-Resistant Enclosures - Redeployable CCTV Cameras are designed to be protected against harsh weather, from scorching heat to heavy wind and rain.
- High-Quality Camera Capabilities - Advanced systems will ensure their cameras offer crystal clear video imagery, even in complete darkness. You should look out for technology such as PTZ and IR cameras, both of which are key to camera quality.
- Control Room Integration - To ease your existing security protocols, Redeployable CCTV Cameras should be able to integrate with your current video management software.
- Remote System Diagnostics - This feature ensures your systems face regular diagnostics checks, that if triggered, can be acted upon to prevent or minimise downtime. This removes the need for expensive service visits also.
- Video Analytics - Used within advanced systems, this tool can be used to accurately track threats, even as small as loitering to help improve situational awareness and ensure a proactive approach to security.
Key Applications For Redeployable CCTV Cameras
Due to the vast benefits offered by advanced Redeployable CCTV Cameras, there are a multitude of key applications in which Police and Local Authorities can utilise them to protect public safety and tackle crime.
Below outlines these key applications, detailing how we have supported clients in doing this with our Redeployable CCTV Cameras.
We list below some of the units' key applications for police and local authorities and the results we have helped our clients achieve.
Fly-Tipping
Redeployable CCTV Cameras allow for the direct targeting of locations associated with fly-tipping.
For Local Authorities, this has become a widespread issue, especially due to external factors such as, bin strikes and tip closures, both of which have led figures to increase.
Redeployable CCTV Cameras help gather vital evidence for investigation and prosecution, whilst also acting as a visual deterrent to potential offenders.
Advanced systems like ours often back their products with remote monitoring services.
This involves a monitoring centre where trained security professionals are alerted by triggers for them to assess the threat and respond appropriately to this.
With our Redeployable CCTV range, we have audio features like live voice-down audio challenge to help personalise the response to potential fly-tipping offenders and improve the prevention of this.
As such, it helps pinpoint and target the issue at hand, helping respond to hotspots in an effective, efficient manner.
Once the issues in that area have been resolved, Police and Local Authorities can easily redeploy the cameras to other locations where surveillance is required.
We aim to enhance your security further by backing all our Redeployable CCTV Camera systems with Video Analytics capability and ANPR technology.
The ANPR cameras capture crystal clear images of vehicle number plates and can be provided with software that links to a national database to search vehicles of interest.
This enhancement helps reduce the workload on CCTV teams responsible for monitoring the cameras by introducing automation and event-based surveillance.
With our Redeployable CCTV with ANPR integration have helped hundreds of Local Authorities reduce fly-tipping and prosecute offenders.
This includes Brighton and Hove Council, who caught 6 fly-tippers within 24 hours of deploying our cameras, and 124 further incidents in the following 6 months.
Community Safety and ASB
Redeployable CCTV Cameras can play a large role in preventing crime and building safety within local communities.
They offer the benefit of providing temporary surveillance and reassurance in areas where residents' safety is of concern or where high crime rates are present.
Police and Local Authority CCTV teams can work in conjunction with community partnership groups to identify areas of high crime, risk or persistent ASB issues.
These cameras can be deployed on an ad-hoc basis until issues are resolved or utilised across various areas if more than one has been identified in your community.
Northumbria Police previously released figures that indicated a 40% reduction in ASB across the region following the deployment of our Redeployable CCTV Cameras.
They praised the camera's flexibility in targeting areas, which has allowed them to proactively approach crime prevention.
ASB can be an overwhelming issue due to the breadth of crimes covered under this umbrella. For Local Authorities, who are responsible for this, having security solutions that can ease this burden will only benefit their organisation, area and residents.
Traffic Management and Monitoring
Redeployable CCTV Cameras can be deployed for a range of traffic management applications, including urban traffic control, congestion monitoring, workforce protection or assisting with preventing and investigating traffic violations.
The cameras' portable nature means they can be deployed for short-term applications such as monitoring temporary road works, informing decision-making on traffic flow and controlling measures.
Traffic management and monitoring is dangerous, so with Redeployable units like this, it ensures safe monitoring of traffic and any workers whilst providing remote access for you to check in at any point, lessening risks further.
However, due to their often complex locations, having a system that can work autonomously ensures a more consistent and convenient service for you.
We developed solar-powered Redeployable CCTV Cameras for managing remote trunk roads.
Kent County Council deployed this solution to monitor traffic congestion around Dover caused by the UK's withdrawal from the European Union.
These self-powered cameras gave the Council real-time traffic build-up intelligence, allowing for remedial actions and improved future decision making.
Temporary Events Management
Large scale outdoor events can draw thousands of attendees, creating challenges around crowd safety and security.
Also, this year Martyn’s Law was enacted meaning expectations on events have now increased and this is likely to lead to an increased need for security too.
To help manage events on this scale, users can temporarily install Redeployable CCTV to provide increased surveillance coverage of issues such as additional traffic flow, crowd management and many suspicious behaviour which could be a threat.
For events where alcohol is being consumed, this can create an ideal environment for opportunistic theft of vehicles or personal property.
Having a CCTV presence on-site can reassure attendees that their welfare is being monitored and act as a deterrent against those criminals.
As known, there can be signal issues regarding events, particularly large-scale ones, therefore fixed CCTV systems don’t tend to be suitable.
All of our Redeployable CCTV Cameras contain 4G/5G connectivity, allowing them to work completely autonomously.
Police and Local Authority teams can then remotely access the cameras at any time from any device, reducing the need to have an additional physical presence.
Covert Surveillance Applications
Redeployable CCTV can also be utilised for covert surveillance applications, including fly-tipping and drugs or gang-related investigations.
These crimes will often utilise quiet, hidden locations in order to avoid their identities being revealed and in turn, be captured by the Police.
In these instances, bold CCTV Towers and Cameras may not be suitable as criminals engaging in this activity will avoid these areas as they will be aware of the security presence there.
In order to respond to these issues, we developed the Covert Dome to address these requirements - a Redeployable CCTV Camera designed to blend into its environment discreetly.
Police and Local Authorities can use this unit to target specific locations where any type of organised crime is prevalent and gather vital evidence to support prosecutions.
The unit's integrated 4G/5G transmission capability allows all live and recorded footage to be accessed remotely, protecting employee safety whilst effectively monitoring and capturing criminals in those situations still.
