CBC cameras used to monitor and control car parks

CBC (Europe) is supplying a local council with CCTV security cameras to monitor and control vehicles at park and ride car parks in Kent.

CBC is working alongside electronic security installer IC2, and CCTV and wireless communications specialist 802 Global, to protect 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, improved the local environment and reduced vehicle emissions.

Three of the sites had no specific CCTV system to protect them.

Increasing the number of site attendants was not a cost effective option compared with the more efficient alternative of camera monitoring by the Council's CCTV control room operators.

Following detailed sites surveys, CBC's Ganz C-Allview PTZ domes were specified and installed.

These high speed rugged PTZ cameras, sealed to IP67, are designed for installation in harsh and challenging environments.

They offer vandal resistant features including bodies cast from aluminium, which are hard anodised and powder coated to protect them from scratching, oxidation or attack from solvents.

C-Allview offers resolution up to 520TVL and a useful 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 re-deployable wireless transmission unit, 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 directly to any offender.
