Leisure and Recreation Sites
The main benefit reported by many leisure and sport complexes, holiday sites, clubs and pubs is the high level of
customer perception that the location has above average security.
Holiday/Caravan Parks
‘As we are sure you are aware, security is increasingly becoming an important factor to those who are considering
holiday home ownership, Attracting one or two additional owner-occupiers as a result of installing CCTV will
often pay for the system,
Vehicle Monitoring
A camera mounted at the entrance to the area will enable you to monitor and record all vehicles, with their
numberplates, twenty-four hours a day. This is used at a number of locations to deter armed robbery and
undesirables from entering. Should they persist in doing so you will have a record of when they entered.

Car Parks
Until now it has been impossible to adequately cover car parks as conventional cameras cannot achieve facial
recognition if viewing an area wider than just two car park spaces. Pan Tilt and Zoom domes can be used but as
they are touring the area there is a small chance that they will be looking in the right place at the right time. The
unique 21 megapixel SentryScope Camera can cover a large area on a continuous basis and allow the CCTV
operator to zoom into recordings and view faces and numberplates after the event has happened.
Gaming and Vending Machines
Gaming, vending and cigarette machines can be a frequent target for the criminal element. These can be adequately
protected by the use of CCTV. At one site we placed a hidden camera where these were regularly being broken into
with the result that the thief was caught within a few days.
Reception Areas and Bars
As receptionists are open to anything from abuse to armed attack we have
installed cameras on some sites to give a clear view of everyone standing at the
counter. This not only gives a visual record of people as they arrive on site but
also acts as a deterrent to criminal or abusive behaviour. Also see the section
below on staff fraud.
Cash Rooms
A camera placed within the cash room can deter armed attack or unauthorised
staff entry, while a camera outside the cash room can give the staff inside a view not only of who is opposite the
door (as does a peephole) but also anyone else in the general area,
Retail
This is increasingly an area for consideration, especially as most trade magazines estimate retail shrinkage to be in
the region of 2-314% of turnover (This may translate to 20+% of profits). See section What Every Retailer Needs
To Know
Swimming Pools
tps cetvinformation.co.uklApolcations_for CCTV 218oart12017 ‘Applications for CCTV - CCTV Information
Systems can be used to detect unauthorised visitors entering the site and using the pool or to make sure that
recreational assistants are doing their job and not simply congregating at a single point for a chat. Cameras can also
be used on your behalf to ensure that health and safety policy is adhered to in areas that cannot be directly
observed.
Staff Theft and Fraud
Cellars and kitchens can be covered to deter and detect any staff theft. It is a sad fact that up to 60% of shrinkage
from retail premises is now believed to be staff related.
Historic Sites
In conjunetion with our Partner Installation Companies, we have experience in supplying a number of historic sites
around the country, each with their own unique demands. This includes a substantial Closed Circuit Television
System at Canterbury Cathedral which incorporates both internal and external surveillance, and is designed to
utilise the latest available technology.
Hospitals
Working as design consultants with a number of NHS Trusts we are able to draw up professional CCTV
specifications and organise tenders for new installations and the upgrade of existing equipment. Our services to the
health sector are often free of charge to the end user. Our work includes the design of systems for major hospitals
and the specifying of CCTV for a network of clinics and being monitored by a local hospital security department.
Public Spaces and other Large Areas
Until now it has been impossible to adequately large areas and public spaces as conventional cameras cannot
achieve facial recognition if viewing an area wider than just two car park spaces. Pan Tilt and Zoom domes can be
sed but as they are touring the area there is a small chance that they will be looking in the right place at the right
time, The unique 21 megapixel SentryScope Camera can cover a large area on a continuous basis and allow the
CCTV operator to zoom into recordings and view faces and numberplates after the event has happened.
