Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) Systems

Closed Circuit T.V. (CCTV) surveillance systems have in recent years become widespread and nationally accepted as an effective counter to criminal and anti-social behaviour. This can be witnessed by the numerous cameras, in one form or another, now appearing in a variety of situations, including shops, businesses, car parks, town centres and even domestic premises.

Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) has become one of the fastest growing sectors of the security industry and has been responsible for countless arrests and prosecutions leading to substantial reductions in criminal activity.

As the use of Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) has become more widespread, new applications have been found such as process monitoring, activity monitoring, health and safety, traffic and crowd control, together with social applications such as the tracking of lost children and providing prompt assistance in emergency situations.

To be effective, the right equipment must be specified for the right application and be professionally installed and maintained. Whilst poor design or installation is not acceptable with any system, the effects with Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) can be very marked indeed and most people will, at one time or another, have witnessed poor quality video images or scenes in which people or objects are so small as to be of no benefit.

Westminster again have extensive knowledge and expertise in the matter and are able to design, install and maintain the right system for any given situation utilising the very best quality equipment from proven manufacturers.

Whether for general or covert observation for businesses, retail areas, car parks, shopping centres, railway stations, storage compounds, industrial plants, town centres or domestic residences, Westminster have the experience to assist with the most appropriate design.

From a single camera, to complex computer controlled installations incorporating detailed graphics and system integration, from single monitors to systems capable of being monitored remotely internationally via advanced transmission methods, Westminster have the experience.

With any installation of CCTV (Closed Circuit TeleVision), a CCTV Code of Practice should be adhered to. In some countries, such as the UK, it is mandatory. Westminster will be happy to provide assistance selecting systems and ensuring your new/existing system is compliant in your jurisdiction.
