The need for large scale CCTV coverage, both public and private has never been greater. At a time when almost all police and mass transit operations are facing reduced budgets for security operations, there has been an increased focus on the use of technology, using digital “eyes” as a force multiplier for officers and guards. These eyes on the street, work 24/7/365 with a low cost of maintenance and little intervention required and although they may not prevent attacks, they can assist greatly with investigations and the apprehension of offenders.

“We have seen growing numbers of law enforcement agencies around the world working towards solutions comprising public/private co-operation as well as the use of body worn cameras, smart phones, drones and other technologies that give them fast access to relevant video”, explains Simon Jones, Sales Manager UK & Europe at CNL Software. “This increased requirement for CCTV brings with it the need to rapidly retrieve footage. At Ifsec we will be demonstrating how Ipsecuritycenter enables the connection of vast numbers of new video technologies as well as legacy DVR/NVR/CCTV systems, from multiple different vendors, to retrieve video for distribution to the right people at the right time.”
