CBC protects Maidstone
CBC (Europe) has teamed up with security installer 802 Global to protect park-and-ride car parks for a local authority in Kent. Maidstone Borough Council, which operates the park-and-ride facilities, has successfully used the cameras to reduce the number of vehicles entering the town centre, improving the local environment and cutting vehicle emissions.
Drivers parking their cars expect a reasonable level of security, but three of the sites had no systems to protect them. Increasing the number of site attendants wasn’t a cost-effective option, compared with the alternative of CCTV monitoring by the Council’s specialist control room operators.
Following detailed sites surveys, CBC’s Ganz C-Allview PTZ domes were installed. These high-speed rugged PTZ cameras are designed for installation in harsh and challenging environments. Operationally, C-Allview offers resolutions of up to 520TVL and a maximum optical zoom of 36x.
Maidstone Borough Council is using the cameras to relay images back to its CCTV control room via 802 Global’s Orbis 1 redeployable wireless transmission units, mounted on existing lamp columns. Each camera is also fitted with public address speakers that allow the control room operators to challenge anti-social behaviour by sending out a verbal warning.
