CRIME PREVENTION & PASSENGER SAFETY
CCTVis key to crime prevention, security and passenger safety
David Cawkell, managing director of SeSys, outlines the importance of CCTV in today’s transport networks.
C
rime prevention, security and passenger safety are key priorities for the transport
industry. CCTV is playing an increasingly important role in achieving those aims, providing several crucial benefi ts, not least:
Surveillance – Identifying potential security issues, threats to passengers and detecting crimes.
Deterrence – Acting as a deterrent and boosting public confi dence. Identifi cation – Identifying perpetrators and using footage as evidence in court.
SeSys is a major supplier of IP CCTV cameras and has worked with a number of leading government, public and private organisations to provide covert and non-convert surveillance, with both fi xed and mobile cameras.
Superior 3 megapixel resolution provides sharp and detailed images that retain clarity when enlarged, helping to identify individuals and determine other vital information, and making
these the leading cameras for evidential quality images.
Integrated email alarms alert control centre or ARC (Alarm Receiving Centre) staff to problems, allowing them to be reactive and replacing the need for constant monitoring.
SeSys’s multi-award winning Torch Camera is ideally suited to remote areas where availability of power is a challenge. Its low power consumption (just 10W) makes solar, wind, fuel cells and even additional batteries a viable source of power.
The Torch Camera is rugged and anti-vandal and weather proof (IP65). An easy-fi t bracket, which attaches to a pole, wall or corner of a building, allows cameras to be rapidly deployed and quickly relocated.

Case study – Remote site monitoring catches metal thieves
A recent deployment of SeSys’s Torch Camera at a Portsmouth City Council recycling centre helped police to catch intruders attempting to steal high-value metals.
Accessing the camera remotely via a GSM mobile network, a manager spotted two men breaking into the site. With the camera recording ‘evidential grade’ footage of the event, the police were contacted and the culprits apprehended.
The council’s assistant head of service, Paul Fielding, said: “Installing CCTV has been essential in ensuring the site remains safe and secure and will hopefully continue to reduce instances of theft and vandalism.”
Dan Eames, technical director for SeSys, added: “The Torch Camera is particularly useful in situations where it is diffi cult or cost-prohibitive to run cables. If the system prevents just one major theft or act of vandalism it effectively pays for itself, and in this case it clearly did.”
