The City of Logan is a local government area in South East Queensland, Australia. The city is divided into 64 suburbs and 12 divisions, which elect a Councillor. Logan is ideally located between Brisbane, Ipswich and the Gold Coast, and has easy access to the national highway and rail networks.
The project has been carried out with cooperation between the Logan City Council, Webb Australia, Teleste, Optical Solutions Australia and Pride Security. The video security system has been built using Teleste S-VMX. The Teleste S-VMX system provides video surveillance across the city, stationed in shopping and service precincts, train stations, bus interchanges, parks and other thoroughfares. The system commenced in 2015.
The current system is now in stage 1, having access to approximately 300 cameras across the city. The next stages will result in ederating remote sites and mobile CCTV systems for rapid deployment. Some footage from Logan City cameras can already be beamed directly
to officers at the Beenleigh, Browns Plains and Logan Central police stations.
During the 12 months, about 2700 “incidents” were captured on the CCTV cameras monitored by the system. This included crimes in progress, welfare cases, suicide prevention, persons under the influence and traffic accidents amongst many.
