Digital CCTV

Peterborough City Council has procured one of the largest and most advanced digital video systems of any Local Authority in the UK by way of upgrading its CitySafe town centre scheme.

Designed and supplied by Tyco Integrated Systems, the networked surveillance operation upgrades an older analogue tape recording system to a fully-digital arrangement that uses six 16-channel DVRs to record all 96 town centre cameras simultaneously to hard disk for over a month.

With 1.3 TeraBytes of RAID hard disk archiving capacity, the system offers the Council and local police virtually instant access to recorded video over long periods at the touch of a button, eliminating time-consuming videotape searches.

The system includes a separate four-channel digital recorder, allowing operators to record any incidents in real time at the highest quality. There’s also a link to a police Control Room such that the police can use the system independently for their own crime surveillance requirements.
