Altham BID Services
|
| This BID proposal utilises the latest in CCTV technology with the installation of 4 Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras on Altham Lane supported by 2 overview cameras. Automatic Number Plate Recognition is a technology whereby the camera is linked to a computer and is able to “read” and record the number plate of passing vehicles. The cameras will be strategically placed to capture an image of every vehicle entering and leaving the estate. |
 |
The real power of this proposal, however, is that Lancashire Constabulary have agreed for this ANPR technology to be monitored 24 hours per day, 7 days per week by their Police Communications Centre at Greenbank Police Station and be linked to the Police National Database. |
| The power of this partnership provides a level of intelligence not available to private, commercial security companies and affords a level of security not usually accessible. |
| For example, this means that the Police Communications Centre monitoring station will be alerted the instant a known stolen vehicle, or vehicle belonging to a known criminal passes the camera. The overview cameras will then be able to track the offending vehicle whilst a response vehicle is despatched to intercept. |
As well as deterring against theft as witnessed in the recent past, other benefits include:
- A deterrent against theft, arson, vandalism, damage to property and fly tipping.
- A source of ‘live’ intelligence for the Police.
- Improved safety for your staff and customers.
