procurement and deployment of any equipment within Bournemouth’s IT infrastructure or software to be installed on local PCs for evidence pack review. A single PTZ camera installed on a lamp post continuously monitors the keep clear zones and automatically captures only the drivers that are stationary in defined ‘watch areas’ and exceed the ‘watch times’. The system combines automatic number plate recognition with video analytics to deliver high productivity at a low operational cost. Council operatives can access and
review evidence packs using standard web browsers before transmitting confirmed offences to the back office processing system where PCNs are issued. Videalert is providing the council with a dedicated virtual server to ensure security and integrity with cloud storage used for backup.
