Breckland District Council wanted to invest in a new CCTV system that would take its surveillance capabilities to the next level and offer easy access to footage from across five market towns and surrounding areas. The council’s priority was to find a cost-effective yet flexible solution which not only offered public space surveillance, but could support the police and also be used by local businesses and residents for their own surveillance needs.
Breckland District Council wanted to invest in a new CCTV system that would take its surveillance capabilities to the next level and offer easy access to footage from across five market towns and surrounding areas. The council's priority was to find a cost-effective yet flexible solution which not only offered public space surveillance, but could support the police and also be used by local businesses and residents for their own surveillance needs.
The council chose an IP-based surveillance system that was seamlessly digital from the camera through to the transmission network and the recording platform, with wireless technology. Advance Monitoring Solutions (AMS) was selected to install the new system with Axis network cameras specified to provide high quality images which could be shared across the council's network.
The council now has a cost-effective, state-of-the-art surveillance system that offers real flexibility when cameras need moving to vulnerable areas. The cameras are delivering excellent footage which can be accessed remotely. One of the biggest benefits is that in the event of an incident, the local police have the opportunity to save time and resources by viewing images remotely, avoiding costly travel across the region.
