Norbain LIVE Relocates Birmingham Event
Norbain Live 2003, the series of regional events Norbain is hosting for CCTV and Access Control installers, has relocated its Birmingham event after a fire damaged the planned venue.
CameraWatch founding chairman, Gordon Ferrie says, "Research shows that up to 90% of CCTV installations fail to comply with the Information Commissioner's UK CCTV Code of Practice and many installations are operated illegally".
"That has profound implications for the reputation of the CCTV and camera surveillance industry and all concerned with it".
"It's clear there is a need for an organisation dedicated to promoting the legal and effective use of CCTV".
Norbain fully supports all efforts to ensure best-practise and compliance with regulatory bodies".
"When we heard about the work CameraWatch was doing we were keen to offer our support and help invest in improving standards in the industry," says Alun John, managing director of Norbain.
"This is a positive new initiative and one that could really help take the confusion out of the current legislation.".
